[Help] Weird Terrain Shadows

Post by azreal64 »

Anybody know how to fix this? In both editor and in-game I get these weird shadows that follow the height of the terrain and also overtake the fog. The weird part is that I haven't generated my Primary terrain shadows yet. So to fix this I tried generating completely new textures and that didn't seem to help so I'm kind of lost.

Ahh thanks Rhino, after doing some more searching over there I decided to check all my textures. Turns out I was missing a few LowDetailTextures. Silly me :roll:

Paint your colormaps with 'colortiling' 0/0

Hans Martin Slayer gave me this advice once and it improved my maps a lot.

While some textures look good with the 1/1 others are best if you use 0/0
