Surrounding terrain not saving

Rabbit · 2016-07-21, 12:12

Made a custom heightmap and ran the auto generator to mirror the surrounding terrain. When I load up my editor and import it in it shows up, however after I save it disappears again and need to be re-imported. I tried making changes to all patches so it would save it all when it saved complied terrain but to no avail. Any ideas?

What do you mean 'import it'? What auto generator are you using?

Did you activate those heightfields, maybe need to do that first, then save then import new ones ?

^ yep, and when I save and re open they are grey again.

Code:

Heightmap filesize does not match expected size. 66049 != 1050625
Could not read expected size

Perhaps it is to complex and thus to large in size?

When I used Bf2HeightmapGenerator, I didn't import anything, run the .bat, it overwrites the surrounding terrain files and thats it.

Right but when I go to render them in the editor they are not there. So I go to import and activate and they show up, save and reopen editor and they will not load again.

Did you activate surrounding terrain before running heightmap generator?

Rabbit · 2016-07-21, 15:40

Yes, it was active and working.

What size is the heightmap and what size is defined in the .con (257x257 vs 1025x1025)? Most likely your issues lies in those two not matching. Possible editor just uses some weird maximum. Did you check if the terrain shows up in game?

Tried a map with 257, one with 513 and one with 1025. Always heightmap data and hieghtmap raws have matched in size.
