[Problem] Runway textures problem

[Marijn]

Hello,

I am at my first attempt to create a surface base. At this point, I am having problems to apply the textures on runways.

When I change the default Runway2 texture to anything else, my runway renders just plain grey.

I created a 256x256 image with GIMP and exported it using a plugin to the DDS format and placed the file in the Textures folder.

I must be doing somehing wrong, but even when I set the default Runway1 texture, the runway also renders plain grey. For some readon, only the default Runway2 seems to have any effect.

Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong? Thanks

The object looks like this, which is a copy of Habana's runway. Runway3 is the filename of my own dds image.

Is there anything in the log?

Eh, yes. I should have checked that

And many more lines like the last.

There is a bunch of settings for the export like compression, format, minimaps, filters, wrap mode and gamma of which I have no idea how to use them..

I noticed that when I change the original Runway2 textuxe, the problem does not occur.

You have to declare in the "base.cfg" file your new texture :

Edit the \config\base.cfg file with Notepad.

you should see someting like that :

; === Generic surface base resources
; === List of generic object meshes ===
BEGIN_MESHES
END_MESHES
; === List of generic textures ===
BEGIN_TEXTURES

Fcd02

END_TEXTURES

add your Runway3 texture name in the list, then save this file.

That's all

PS note that "runway1" is not declared by defaut....

Thanks a lot, I wasn't aware of the declarations. That seems to do it

I am still getting the errors in my log as above. Any idea about those?
