Can you please link a specific file that you're using to get this error?

Also did you mean to say T3DX instead of T2DX by chance...? Seeing as this is the 3D forums? :)

Actually the issue is different, I am an idiot did not notice that I created a StarterGame3D project and not a StarterGame3D PRO project. The pro project has the source, the other is binaries.

Now I will get better info, the deal with the file was I was missing a texture.

doh!

Edit: and the lightmap cannot be a dxt?

Henry's use of TX2D in the title was my fault. I copied and pasted the TX2D bug report format to use for the 3D forums and forgot to change that line.

Thanks Henry for sticking to exactly what I posted, even when it's got typos. :)

I updated the thread title and corrected the bug report example.

Two questions:

1. Can you please email myself or Ray the terrain file in question?

2. Did the editor use to support v4 and no longer does or are you requesting that it should support v4?

Derek, it works, Like I said, I had screwed up. it was late. I had the binaries. The editor and TX3D does support V4. I had a terrain I was using in TX3D and brought it in. I apparently forgot one of the texture files or something. I was using the binary version. Today when I noticed I was using the binary I used the pro version, found the error and found that I had missed something.

You guys can mark this resolved. However the errors generated by a binary user are definitely kind of useless in this case.

OK this is more to the point I tried again and here is the issue:

End of Stream Exception was unhandled: Unable to read beyond the end of the stream. Line 1056 in method _loadLegacy.
