Terrain is Black

by Kila · in Technical Issues · 05/28/2008 (4:10 pm) · 2 replies

I have an issue that I can't figure out.

My terrain is black! Literally. I've tried painting terrain cover, but nothing changes. Is this a re-lighting issue? I've tried that and it seems to do nothing. Its very hard to add anything else to my level when I can barely see the ground.

Thanks!

It's most likely a DirectX SDK problem. Try installing the latest one and see if that helps.

What type of terrain are you using? Legacy/MegaTerrains or Atlas?

Is Torque finding all relevant files (watch out for errors in the console log)?

One example where I got the "back terrain" effect was when loading a blended terrain (all terrain types except Atlas unique terrain) where the engine couldn't find the blending source images.
