Unknown File issue.

In the root directory of the TE it creates a 1meg file with the same name as the new terrain
but the file has no extention. Possible problem if you have many terrains.

Waffle,
I can import/export water to bitmap with no issues, the only issue I have is the file so large I cant modify it with my software.  

Issues I have found:

1.Imported grayscale elevation is inverted, darker shades show up as higher elevation.

2.Mini-map does not work, the display is pure white.

3.Water changes require me to cycle the Low Detail ON/OFF for them to show up.

4.Object editor will not open, crashes about half way through loading.

I think I have stumbled across a few more but will confirm them first.

Edit:

Issue when dealing with the terrain gndtype.bmp.....

Open terrain, erase some water to create a large island.
Change terrain to any type, save and close TE.
Open gndtype.bmp with some sort of photo editing software.
Use eyedropper or set RGB to specific value and change whole bmp to that color, save to proper folder.
Open TE, load proper file and the change will not show up.

It does not look like the manual changes made to the gndtype.bmp show up properly. The displayed terrain ends up looking like a blend of two types. It certainly doesn't look like any of the the main terrain tiles. Can anyone else replicate this? All of the issues so far can be duplicated.

Build Res File error.

Using the exact same terrain source files on two different machines I get the "Build Res Failed" error on a Windows XP machine.

Error does not occur on my Windows Vista Machine.

Getting "Resource Build Fail" error  when clicking Build, whether it's converting a pre-existing terrain or making a new one.

Getting a B&W clipboard map when making a new one for pre-existing terrains, works fine with new ones.

Trees appear in water areas.

Build works fine for me, probably have built a terrain 20-30 times so far playing around.

Cannot export water bmp. Program does not crash when I try I just don't get the waterd.bmp or waterc.bmp

No textsrc folder created.

Cannot see terrain changes unless I toggle low detail.

Yeah, I know, low end system.

I get the "resource build failed" bug when I try to build a terrain.

My PC has a 2.4 ghz C2D CPU, a GTX 260 graphics card and 2 GB of RAM. It is running Window XP.

I'm also seeing another problem where the grid does not line up with the tiles properly. This causes 1853 errors when the "water not 0" test is run. There were no errors in the old TE with the same terrain.

The horizontal scroll bar is still scrolling the terrain in the wrong direction. Compare it to the actions of the vertical scroll bar. It's the same as pre 2.14 versions but it really needs to be updated.

If you click one of the horizontal arrows in the scroll bar, instead of scrolling the terrain in that direction, the terrain moves in the opposite direction. This isn't the way the vertical scroll bar, or most other programs work.

This may or may not classify as a bug but it makes things a lot harder than should be....





The paint brush does not show up on water making it difficult to add changes. Perhaps this can be changed in the next patch?

In the water tab....

If you move the slider all the way the way to river it will export it as white in the waterc.bmp.

So if you try to make any changes and import it back the TE thinks its land.

So I don't have to type it all again:

I only have 3 issues. Two of which have been reported before (XP resource build fail, water not showing when you paint it but have to move things to get it to show). I have come across another possible issue.

If you just have vehicle entries in your terrain and do a check entry it works fine. If you have boat entries it checks the first boat entry and then crashes AHedit. I have tested this several times and it is does it consistently for me.
