Importing a Texture/Floor

[ChristianKline]

Okay. I made a new map for a clan that i am in. I have Followed all of the tutorials and modding guides and i cant figure out why it still crashes. Ive searched the forums, and still no luck.

For creating our own texture maps use image editing software of your choice.

In order to import this texture into the editor you have to watch the following

conditions.

The size of the texture must be a multiply of 512 pixel in width and height

The texture must be stored as a 24 bit TGA file

The texture can’t be larger than 8192 x 9192 pixel

scale: 1 meter is equal to 12,5 Pixel. According to this the maximum width or

height can be 655,36m.

Your own created terrain texture can be imported by entering the „Edit / Terrain“-

Mode (function key F2):

choose „Floor“ -> „Import texture“

right: choose the directory, in which you stored your TGA-Texture

left: select your TGA-file, i.e. „example.tga“

click „OK“ (as shown in pic. 3.1.2a)

I know this stuff, and it still dont work.

I used GIMP 2 to make my file.

Its saved as a TGA.

It is 8192 x 8192 pixels

If anyone can help me out, It would be greatly appreciated.

there is one important thing i didn't read in your quote while flying over it:

any map texture file has to fulfill the conditions you wrote above PLUS .. it has to have a "resolution" of 72,00 dpi (dots per inch)!

some programs (don't know for gimp 2) have other default values like 96,00 or so.

try it with 72 dpi

At least on my version of GIMP it saves with a resolution of 72...but I still get a CTD after I click ok and it wants me to choose a save directory for the texture.

I just checked GIMP again... When I was saving, it gave me an option to compress the file. After I unchecked that option, I resaved, and I was able to import the texture.

I hope that helps

I made a texture and imported it. My question is how do I define the edges of the map I want? Becuase when I imported the texture, it doubled over when it hit the edge of the texture I made and continued on.
