I fixed it with the help of all these geniuses here! I mean that seriously! Thank you sooooo much!

The problem

Spoiler

I posted for help in the World Textures - Wishlist topic, but Cirevam suggested I post my own. So now I am.



This is now my problem. I've gotten the crashing sorted. But as I said in the a fore mentioned topic:

All I get is a gray, untextured world!

What am I doing wrong?

[alan]

When we shall help you, you have to give information (so also post it here!).

Please post the names of the texture bmp-files, the folder name they are in and the LEGO.cfg part where it says:

 

Textures {

 

...

 

YourTexture {

rooftexture World\WorldTextures\YourTextureRoof.bmp

surftextwidth 8

surftextheight 8

meshbasename World\ProMeshes\YourTexturePM

texturebasename World\WorldTextures\YourTextureFolder\YourTexture

}

 

...

 

}

 

 

 

By the way, this is still the wrong forum section, you should have gone to Mod Discussion, because it is a modification, no general discussion!

You said you renamed all the textures "DESXX". That's a BIG no-no. They MUST be named exactly as the other biomes have them named, otherwise the game won't recognise them.

 

Bite me.

They MUST be named exactly as the other biomes have them named, otherwise the game won't recognise them.

I have never heard of this rule before, and I'm pretty sure I've renamed the texture files before.

Then how does LegoRR know which one is each specific texture? It's not listed anywhere in the .cfg...

If it weren't listed in the CFG how would it even find the texture files?

texturebasename World\WorldTextures\YourTextureFolder\YourTexture

Or are you saying something else?

texturebasename World\WorldTextures\YourTextureFolder\YourTexture

 

That points to the folder where the textures are located. The folder can be renamed whatever, but the actual textures inside the folder must be numbered exactly like those ones.

 

And on research, he's named them correctly ("apparently", I'd like to take a look at his folder setup). **** me.

 

RRF#1, I want you to zip up your textures and have a .txt file with your .cfg entries, and the filepaths to where you had the textures located. Make sure you include the roof texture you're using, because that's in a separate file.

It says folder right above that in the directory. The files can be named whatever. They have to be numbered the same, yes, but I assumed you were saying that they could only be called Rock, Ice or Lava.

I forgot about the word before the numbers

Here it is!

 

It's the code snippet, the roof and the textures, all set for evaluation.

[McJobless]

Looking through it now, get back to you eventually.

BTW, your link is missing a colon ( : ) after the http which makes it redirect and break. Please add it.

Fixed

[alan]

The mistake - in my view - is very obvious. 

 

This is the code in the CFG:

 Desert {

    rooftexture       World\WorldTextures\rockroof.bmp

    surftextwidth     8

    surftextheight     8

    meshbasename      World\ProMeshes\RockPM

    texturebasename     World\WorldTextures\DesertSplit\Desert

 

 

 

FIRST:

The '}'at the end is missing

 

SECOND:

You wrote 'rockroof.bmp' to the rooftexture, but your actually rooftexture is DESERTROOF.bmp (but that doesn't make the textures crash).

 

THIRD:

You wrote 'World\WorldTextures\DesertSplit\Desert' to the texturebasename, but the texturebasename of your textures is 'DES' and not 'Desert'!

 

It is actually explained exactly enough so this mistake shouldn't have happened... why didn't you follow the instructions?

[McJobless]

And a quick other note, rooftexture       World\WorldTextures\rockroof.bmp[/code] should be rooftexture       World\WorldTextures\DESERTROOF.bmp

You should make sure all your textures are in caps. Right now about half are DESXX and the other half are desXX. Pick one or the other and make sure you write it in caps in the .cfg.

EDIT: Alan. Y u do dis 2 meh? I think I might be blind.

It is there, I just forgot to include it.

I didn't think they were clear. But, now I know. So next time I want to add another biome texture, I'll refer back to this

 

Thank you all for the help you've given me.

Not necessarily. The game doesn't mind whether the BMPs are in caps or not (just tested it and some of the original textures are not in caps too (for me)).

You can change the topic to solved now

Consistency is important in any project.

[alan]

Yes, but in this case it's not so important because it also works with caps and non-caps at the same time used.
