Hill Texture Bug

Post by Mord »

Discovered this while working on the FoG II terrain mod. I thought it was something I was doing but after reverting back to the vanilla game textures it still shows up. Seems it only appears on corners that are in the shadows.

You may have to search for it on few random maps but you'll find it eventually.

It's a normal map rotation issue that can only be solved in code. At the moment there are much higher priorities but its on the list.

It is a sneaky mfer, that's for sure. I never noticed it until I was trying to fix some Normal Map issues. I thought I had inadvertently caused it. Spent a whole day trying to solve it, then finally got wise and decided to check the original tiles. I will throw a party when you finally kill that one!

Thanks again, Patrick.

Once you know what to look for, you'll see it on all overlay tiles. Made creating normal maps in the first place a bit tricky. As I said its on the list but there's many more important things that have to be given priority so I would expect anything for a good while.

Yeah, I had a helluva a time with Normal Maps in general, showing seams between the contour tiles. They drove me and Adebar crazy.

No worries, I can wait. Just knowing that you know, is good enough for me, for now.
