Campaign Map Graphics Error Reports

[Squid]

This thread is where any graphics problems with the campaign map should be reported. Odd looking terrain (ala snow in summer from 1.5b), terrain that is incorrect, etc.

The error report should include:
Name of region(s) and/or settlement(s) containing the error (use show_cursorstat from rome shell it will list the region)
Description of the problem
Screenshot of the problem (includes screen of error message if there's a CTD)

You may have seen me post this in the dev forum squid but I will post it here too.

Basicly this is what happens during the winter months and only in the winter. Its fine in the summer. As you can see grey blocks appear all over the map so it isnt region specific either. Im also using BI 1.6.

[Squid]

Looks like a missing or corrupt texture files, or maybe a typo for a terrain type for its winter texture.

[Father Jack]

Yeh thats what I thought it could be but dvk and tone (who is also using BI) dont seem to be getting this map problem. Unless one of them would like to send me their map texture files?

[Squid]

Are you using the new environment stuff in your build?

[Father Jack]

I dont think so, im just using the beta plus the updates.

[dvk901]

Now that I think of it, that definitely does look like an overlapping map terrain texture gone wild or AWOL. Question is, why? I'll check what should be in there (the Beta), vs what IS in there just to make sure. Weird error.

[dvk901]

Well Macky, I just loaded RS2 into BI, updated completely to Revision_Six, went into the map and pressed end turn. No weird boxes. So I'm clueless what is causing your's to do that.

[Father Jack]

Right well this morning I recieved a new RTW disk after my previous one snapped so I will install it and then reinstall RS2 on it and then run it off RTW 1.5. I will report back if this occurs again.

[Father Jack]

Ok its working with my new RTW 1.5 so I will leave it at that. I have no idea why its was doing that before

[King Nud]

was your old disk damaged before it broke, sounds like an error carried from the disk when you installed it

invisible scythian captain. The same applies to sarmatian ones. All you see are floating flags.
edit: I've also seen invisible spartan armies.

Those stripes will be almost certainly a general/captain model with too many attached elements. What models are being used there DVK?

[dvk901]

I thought I had fixed that....anyway, the related entries are in:

descr_model_strat.txt

Under headings 'general' and 'lesser_general'. I suspect it's either the Scythians (romans_scipii) or the Dacians. The models and textures are, however, in 'models_strat' and 'models_strat\textures'. They have to be there otherwise the game has an 'issue' finding them. One of the models probably got updated and I didn't update the other.....wait one....never mind. I think I found the culprit. It's the Scythian lesser general with an old model and textures.

The Sloth....those are 'cliffs'. Apparently you can build that into the map. I hadn't ever seen it until we started using the old Mundus_Magnus map. So it's supposed to be that way.
