Well people, Iīm working hard on my second level, the sequel to City of Blezqi Zatsaz.Itīs not even 50% complete, and I had a strange texture problem already. This one is not like the one I had with my huge first level, when textures disappeared and Lara stood floating in the dark. This time, after adding a big room, one of the already used texture tiles appears black in the whole level. Just this one particular texture tile, and when it was applied flipped. So I deleted some columns (objects) and everything was fine again. Then I added normal walls to replace the object columns, and the problem came back, this time showing only a triangle piece of that tile correct, and the other triangle side with some other distorted image. The TGA file is ok, the tile appears normally in the texture window, and also on the editor. You only see the problem when youīre playing. Is it that disgusting texture memory problem again? If it is, how can I make levels with perfect texturing with this crap? IP: Logged |

I had a problem with textures - I made a custom set, but when I tried to open, it jumbled them up, and crashed! I must have had too many (almost 50)IP: Logged |

Hi Fabio, about the texturing, how many texture info do you have while converting. After about (it depends on how many objects you have) 300 texture info's no more information is given with converting. And i know you are texturing with perfection but watch your texture info!!!IP: Logged |

Hi,
I have had the same prob. in the past. Check what the Converter replies about the FileAllocBuffer. Is this code more about 7500000-7600000 you overload the max. Limit.
If your Level is too big, better split it into 2 parts.

I canīt split the level in two now. I mean, its not big, with only 73 rooms. Actually itīs a small level by now, which you can complete in about 50 minutes, itīs just half of what the first level was. And the added room that caused the problem is the middle section of a huge place with a bridge, 5 stacked rooms. How will I split it and where? I had a planning for this level, that by now must be followed, or started over, due to the connections and puzzles.Damned!!!
