T E not reading texsrc file

[DarkHawk]

When I first open up the T E  for a terain I am working on the T E will not read the texsrc file.
work around is to open a difference terrain, then open the terrain you will be working on, this seems to cause the T E to search and read the texsrc file. I know this works because I have a few custom objects that do not show up unless i do the work around.
 fails each time I start the  T E  after bring up my system or after closing the T E and restarting it.

Don't bother the the alternate terrain, just reopen the terrain you want to work on. Then the objects will show.

it doesn't make the waterb or waterc BMP's either.

I'm having this same problem. Where exactly is the texsrc folder supposed to be?

You need to create the textsrc directory yourself. Put it as a subdirectory under your project directory.

i.e.  greece\textsrc

Slight correction, the name of the folder is texsrc

[Motherland]

so if my terrain's name is Terrain1 (I wanted to get really creative), it should be under C:\Program Files\HTC\Aces High II\AHIIEDI~1\ahiiterr\Terrain1\ correct? because that's where I have it, and if I hit export nothing happens, and if I put the 16xxx*16xxx px waterd.bmp in there and hit import the editor crashes.


Wait are these dimensions correct? 16,384 x 16,348? I thought it was 16,384^2

Only if that's where you have both the game and the new editor installed.

If you're running Vista/Win7, or installed the new editor in the default folder, then that would explain part of your troubles.

The current version of the game and the editor, want to install in: C:\Hitech Creations\...

If you used the default installations, even on XP, the path to your terrain and the texsrc folder should be:

C:\Hitech Creations\ah2editor\ahiiterr\terrain1\texsrc

And remember you have to manually create the texsrc directory. The editor will not make one for you initially or even if you do an export.

I made another file and copied all of the bitmaps over and it worked...
