[?] Terrain texture not visible

Post by popnsmoke »

I followed BF2 modding tutorial 1 & 2 creating basic terrain/basic level.
My terrain texture is only visible at close range (foreground).
I increased the view distance to maximum 1000 in the tweaker and it had no effect.

Does anyone know how to correct this so my terrain textures are displaying correctly in the middle ground and background?

that's normal. This is the way the engine renders detail and color textures. Detail textures are only visible at close range. If I am correct the distance at which they start rendering is not changeable ? Try playing with the scaling of the color texture to achieve more detail with it.

Did you generate low detail textures? Thats what should show on larger distances, not plain color texture.

Yes, the problem had to do with setting low detail type to 1 or 2 instead of the default 0, then generating low detailmap.
A vital piece of information that was not included in the original tutorial .
Thanks.
