I've been having lots of trouble getting started with making my own RO maps. One major problem is that I can't seem to make terrain correctly. I follow all the steps necessary but I'm doing something wrong I just can't figure out what. What happens is the terrain doesn't show up and I don't know how to apply a texture to it.

Are you making a map for HOS(UT3) or for ROOST? Either way go to 3dbuzz.com and get the terrain tutorial. It should be pretty easy to follow.

Those tutorials helped alot, thanks. Now my only problem is how do I save the terrain? Every time I start a level and then save and close out I can't get it back.

It says that some files were not loaded and are being filled in as 'null'. Anyone have this probelm? Everything except my terrain is there

Fyi, you don't add textures onto terrain, BSP nor static meshes. You add materials, and textures are used to make those materials.


But if you import custom textures and make materials out of them and forget to save the textures the materials will be set to null when used :p

Maybe I'm wrong though.... :rolleyes:

Yea, I never said anything regarding that though :p
But it's true, packages need to be saved before playing the map in the actual game. PIE might work without saving.
