I followed a tutorial on a basic map, and i believe i followed every step, but when i played it, there was no lighting on the textures. I could see buildings fine, but no terrain.

Whats wrong?

 

Yeah - this is one of those 'occasional' bugs.. if you close the game completely, then re-start and reload your map - it should work OK. Normally happens when you have had an official map loaded and then load a fan created map straight away.

If that doesn't solve the problem, try loading up your new map in WB and set the LOD to low. Save the map, close WB and try loading up your map in the game. 😉

LOD (level of Detail) settings are right at the very bottom of the "View" options drop-down.

HTH

PS: Fancy posting a full screenie of your map? Would be interested to have a look.. 😁 😄

Ty for posting, but none of those worked 😞

Lol, the map isnt special at all. Its just a bunch of ore nodes, and a player in each corner, with a a simple cross in the middle lol. I plan on making a really good one in the long run, but dont want to do all of that and it just got to waste lol.

Hmmm... interesting - it should work. Would you zip up your map and e-mail it to me? - I would really like to look - gren-at-cnclabs.com

Thanks 😄

Well it even does it with any other custom map i load up too.

If you are setting the terrain and water height correctly, the only other thing that comes to mind is that this used to happen pre-game patch 1.05. Check that you have the latest game patch installed and if you need to update, see how the map looks after that. 😄
