2.3c File saving and input
Posted: Thu Jan 12, 2006 4:24 pm
Hi Aaron, I've just had the MEDEM tut mgf open in 2.3c in order to try out the new lighting and there seems to be a problem opening it up.
It opens up in L3DT but the horizontal scale has been changed- the bar in bottom right now gives 2Km (it should be 5Km). After generating the heightmap I found that the scale was set to 10m- at least that's what appears in the field when doing operations>Heightfield>Change
horizontal scale. I change it to 20m and everything appears to be OK.
I'm pretty sure that this was not a problem with 2.3b. I've installed 2.3c in the same folder so I don't have 2.3b to test it against.
I walk through the map process, using x4 (high res lightmap) lighting and texture. The texture at least should be OK for my grafix card. I save mgf using Save Group as. When I fire up the viewer and open up the folder- there are no mgfs visible. Going into the folder with Windows Explorer reveals no files saved at all.
I've retried the same tut mgf without making any changes to it at all, including scale. Still no files found in the folder.
I then saved it using the other options (save All and Save Map Group File). It did save a file and opened up, everything intact in the viewer, but it was at the incorrect horizontal res (ie, the horizontal res query still stands).
Also, the lighting step 2/3 to 3/3 in the Wizard cuts off some of the dialog box.
