[Help] Black Patchs on terrain

[TheDarkOverlord]

After generating the lightmap for my map, I get black patchs on parts of the terrain. How can this be fixed?

Yes. And it looks fine in the editor, just when I load it in BF2, the black patches appear.

Sorry about the small picture size, but it wouldn't let me upload a bigger picture.

well i aint ran accross this type of prob before personly. Maybe try searching on the editor forums or posting on there: http://bfeditor.org/forums

what size map are you working on? if its a 1024x4 sized map it will have a lot of terrain glitches but it dosent look the same as what you are haveing at the mo.

What happens when you remove your lightmaps?

I have ran across then on my night map. I had to repaint the terrain using Bf2paint program, It has something to do with the color maps.

I downloaded bf2_tpaint, but it will not let me extract high.tga. I tried to run bf2_tsplit, but now my level will not load and it gives no error message. Luckily I backed up the level.

You don't want to use Bf2_tsplit, you want to use the regular bf2 paint.exe. Did you follow the url link in the folder? It will tell you how to use the program perfectly.

It works now, the problem was that the .rar file did not download correctly the first time, so all the file were not there. But now, my level crashes without giving an error message.
