Following the Import Terrain Height map tut in the documents using the files that are attach here (sampleterrain.zip)
Following the readings and about ready to import it throws a warning at me.
Import Terrain: The 'C:/Torque/Torque 3d 2009 Beta 1/My Project/game/art/sampleterrain/terrainFiles/Prarie/g' opacity map does not match the height map size
I just redid it again using all 512maps and came up with this/.
Import Terrain: The 'C:/Torque/Torque 3d 2009 Beta 1/My Project/game/art/sampleterrain/terrainFiles/Prarie/rockwallg' opacity map does not match the height map size
I don't see a *g map in any of the files that I DL from the sample.

but it got burried in obscurity somewhere near page 7 i think i moved the 'game' folder to the root of the drive and it worked fine, the errors it gives are somewhat strange unless you run the debug build

the opacity maps work fine, the pathname to them however must be *short* ive already posted this as a bug elsewherehttp://www.garagegames.com/community/forums/viewthread/91065

@Bloodknight - thanks for that, works lovely. I just moved the opacity maps to C:Torque and everything was fine. I'd actually seen your initial thread but hadn't understood it.

Short path did the trick. I wish the openFile dialog would use the last directory and not always reset to a default path.
But I get a lot of
after import the map.
Makes it hard to save the map ;) After importing the terrain again, the error does not occur.

On Beta2, debug build (did not try in release build): Short path did the trick. I wish the openFile dialog would use the last directory and not always reset to a default path.
But I get a lot of
c:\torque\torque 3d 2009 beta 2\engine\source\core\util\tvector.h(657) : Fatal - Vector<T>::operator[] - out of bounds array access!
after import the map.

Is the long file path issue something that will be fixed? And when?
Strongly agree with Thomas:
"I wish the openFile dialog would use the last directory and not always reset to a default path."

Glad I found this thread! (That was frustrating!)Is the long file path issue something that will be fixed? And when?

I haven't tested it yet but I am told this is fixed in Beta 3 =)

That's nice to hear ... and the issue with the long file path?
