TGEA 1.8.0 Bug: Missing Atlas Terrain & Missing DIFs
by Michael K. · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 11/14/2008 (2:59 am) · 1 replies
What i did:
i just copied my data folder from my old tgea 1.7.1 directory into the tgea 1.8 data folder.
then i loaded up a test level with an atlas terrain and some difs.
i used the map2dif_plus_tgea included in 1.8 to convert all of my maps to dif (i didn't recieve any errors).
problems:
my atlas terrain was missing, so i checked to see if my atlas file was in the directory it was supposed to be... and it was. the first time i started the mission my difs were all there... but the next time i loaded the mission every dif was gone (i didn't save anything the first time i loaded the mission). Just to make sure i didn't mistakenly overwrite my old test level i loaded up an older version of my test level (which i then opened in tgea 1.8 for the first time) and all of the difs were missing. (i wrote this somewhere else, but just to have everything in one thread): i also noticed some that some textures were missing (those textures were black) eventhough on the same object a face right next to the missing texture face had that very texture on it (and it was displaying it correctly).
Hope this helps.

Are there errors about missing terrain materials? There new terrain materials are located in 'scriptsAndAssets/data/terrains/materials.cs', so if you overwrote that file, the clipmap stuff won't find its materials and neither legacy nor Atlas terrain will render.
