Hi all,

I've been having this problem for a while now (only on some of my maps does this happen) when I load a level that i have previously worked on in level edit, most/all of the base textures on the alpha blended meshes are black??

A quick fix is to delete the meshes in the instances tab and remake it, but i'm curious as to why this happens in the first place? is there something i have done wrong in gmax?

Cheers for your help one and all.

Does this happen in the Level Editor or RenX?

Do you have the textures stored in your
C:\Program Files\RenegadePublicTools\LevelEdit\Your_maps\EditorCache?

I didn't think you needed the textures used in renegade as level edit loads them from the always.dat

This is the particlar example....

http://www.n00bstories.com/image.fetch.php?id=1114886787

Here i have a mesh with a smooth sand base texture, blended with a ruff sand texture, initally when i clicked make in level edit the textures appeared correctly ... ok, I saved it as a .lvl loaded it up later and i then see the smooth sand texture black, the blended ruff sand is ok as you can see

As i said the only way to fix it i know of is to delete the meshes in the instances tab and remake it.

I don't know man, but just wondering, if you've ran your lighting? "compute vertex solve?"

No I haven't done that yet, this happens the first and all times i load up a level....

Does anyone else get this problem? i'm trying to find out what causes it but localising the problem is proving difficult.

It's easily fixable but a bit of a pain Sad

I would just try the vertex solve, then re-save and see if it still does it.
