Hi

After a couple compiles my map started to look funny.. ish

This is what I get now, shadows on all sides on every texture in the ground.
The squares are the same size as generated from Terrain Generator (Nem's Tools)

I applied the texture in Hammer.

and I don't know why..

Anyone knows what the problem is?

well one thing i know that happens with textures is if you use a texture that is made for a prop or model, sometimes they dont work right on bruses, not sure if thats what is doing that tho

These textures are regular textures from dod.
I get the shadows no matter what texture I use... So, when I start to think about it... it's no problem with the texture, it's the "ground".

Could it be after my trial and error stuff with invert alpha and such?

*testing*

Have you done a fast compile?

Yes, the compile will take hours otherwise...

It appears that the invert alpha was the problem.

I will do a final compile over the night and see to be sure.

The dark lines are from a fast vrad (lighting) compile.

The trees are because you used a skybox texture on the ground

I have done fast vrad compiles before with no dark lines.
The texture your referring to, nature/argentan_skygrasstrees, is being used in the same way as the DoD team use it. Look in the dod_argentan map.

You normally get dark lines around displacement surfaces after running a fast compile.

Is this really a displacement? I NEVER get anything like that on a fast compile... ever!
