Black Terrain?

by Barry Gallagher · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 04/17/2006 (9:58 am) · 2 replies

When i am running tse and i hit f11 to bring up a template level the terrain is black...

if i run the feature walkthrough without hitting f11 the terrain is fine...

why is this?... lack of texture? ...i just want to know to understand the system better..

That would be a couple reasons, first of all the terrain system that is used is different than the one that was editable in Torque. You currently cannot edit Atlas terrain real time like before. It might be something to do with that, basically the World Editor is only used for placing non terrain objects right now. The other two reasons could be also, as you stated, no texture. The only other thing I could guess is that maybe you have an Atlas terrain with no lighting rendered. In that case you'd press Alt + L in the F11 mode.

If you mean on the old terrain, I think you just need to define the terrain textures in the editor again (I've had to do the same thing)
