Scenery not appearing.
« on: September 09, 2007, 05:55:19 am »
I made a background PNG format scenery with dimensions of 6000X800. Trouble is, it is not appearing in game. In the Polyworks it is though.

The image is huge. You should cut it in 3 or 4 squares and then put it.

That's what I did now. But still one of the squares isn't appearing. And when I cut that in two, one of the halves is still not appearing.

now im probably bubbling cr** from my mouth like i have been in my last forum posts (LOL!) but you could try changing the scenery format to .bmp and see if that works

OK now it works. But whenever I try to play in my map I get an access violation error. Restarting the PC doesn't help. My friends can play in it normally though.

Probably your video card isn't very good and that scenery doesn't appears... try with resize it to 50%.

I had the same problem just recently, and I got the exact same error message. I believe the reason is that you have too many big scenerys. I had three 1200x960ish size scenerys in a map of mine and my game did the same thing. Polyworks was still showing all of the scenery though in the map.

What I had to do was to not only take the scenery out of the map, but I had to take the scenery out of my scenery-gfx folder as well to fix the problem. I believe that once you use a scenery in the map, even if you get rid of it, it will still register as being in the map. You need to either remove the scenery from you scenery-gfx folder in your Soldat directory, and then rename it if you want to put it back.

Good luck. What I did worked, and it should work for you as well. Since your friends don't have the original huge scenery screwing up your game, it doesn't affect them. That's all I can say.
