[WhiteZelotaVideo]

[AndyS98]

[mrcarbine541]

@AndyS98 before this one :P

[Raketenbaum]

bei mir lassen sich keine texturen aufmalen!

[1493meter]

how do i get the bar where i change the speed and stuff to show cuz right now its just stacked in the corner?

[BassPounderX]

how do you get textures to be smooth on edges when i place them they atre blocky near edges

[DJacKnifeAlpha]

The editor crashes when I try to edit why type of texture I want when it shows me the list.. Any suggestions?

[Cptpainter]

when i bring it up and paint over it it makes annoying squares then when i reload its back to the texture i already had

[Tomm351]

For everyone who has their grass in a different colour... In terrain layers editor -> click on sand (or whatever) -> in the surface type drop down menu -> click on the matching texture (make sure you have done "Edit Surface Types"). All fixed :D

[Alleujah]

When i try to add textures to texture it just becomes a smudge, can anyone help?

[avatar12345100]

thanks man

[gtakid2009]

how do you get high-spec

[BasketballHuki17]

train texture :D

[Technobanana]

um, my editor really did not like that, when i got closer to the ground it when really white adn bright under were i was standing

[uberdood555]

how do you make nuke launchers?plz help

[MyLastBrew]

Why does my texture turn black when i get close to it?

[SpMeddler]

>.> this is a bit old and late buuuut How do i make the edges of my land angled like your mine has a straight drop

[DJCRISIS111]

@SpMeddler you need to smooth the edges. when you go to terrain there is a little button that automaticly smooths all edges of the map. hope this helped

[Kracg999]

Good tutorial, Just a little thing left out

for those of you with yellow grass go to edit surface types add rename to what you want then hit material editor pick some kind of sand then hit pick selected.

[limneos12]

idk the reason but when i paint an area and save,when load then its unpainted again!!! why????????

[realflow100]

@limneos12 it just has to be a bug or your OS doesn't like crysis sandbox 2 very well.

[thefearofme]

@limneos12 Just Generate Surface Texture again

[slayer5278]

@limneos12

Oh i had this problem too, Whatcha do is whip out the paint tool thing and click in the areas of which you painted. It should pop bakc up :D

[zallazum]

@limneos12 before you save go to file-generate surface texture and just click ok.if u dot do that the thextures wont be ho shouldi say saved.

[Cijleggy]

for some reason mine are blurred and green

[Redwulftech]

How can you make the actual texture look like sand? from what i see, its the same texture of the grass..

[Osvath97]

@Redwulftech Yup agree.

[SolalChabauty]

I don't like fucking idiots who can't make a better sound than this shitty one !!!!!!!

[LockheedC130]

Hey nice tutorial, but how can I add a texture to a solid?

And at 0:38, I can't open the files in the folders because it says "quality loss" - I should use "lossless format".

How can I use them?

[ImpliedBodyMan]

Missed a step.

[TheThebestgogo]

that is not sand that is grass painted in other collor!!!

[simcity32]

@TheThebestgogo No its a diffrent texture

[Slixys]

@TheThebestgogo

the dds file he selected was not grass, it was sand, meaning he was painting sand on top of grass t.t

[mabeklvista]

all worked. but if i safe, and restart it again it is gone ?? do you know why that is

[fool232323]

Hey dude you mind making a tutorial video of how to record in the game and also i need to know how to record it in hd. It will probably be the shortest tutorial you have to make so plz make one i will very much appreciate it. =)

[baverskalle]

Just use Fraps?

[mranderson1337XD]

hey Xanthochori why is my textures all blurred when i paint them i tried reloading them but my textures are still blurred please help!

[nubsfrlif]

go to the file tab in sandbox and goto generate surface texture and play around with that until its clear and dense... lowering it usualy works.

[dogensu]

how come when i paint a texture it turns into a square?

[26FACE62]

Xanthochori, How did you get the land to angle down towards the water?

[foxman691]

someone help me.....i try to make a map but the land is blue.......my computer can run the game on medium to high settings......help please!!!!!!

[yonifra2]

The ground is not blue, you start with an ocean (hence, blue) and you need to create the ground by rising it using the Sandbox2 tools.

[foxman691]

no i mean i can get the land to rise and everything but it is blue/white and it wont do the grass textures :\

[4jtradin]

try going to file.generate surface texture...that should work

[foxman691]

it worked! thank you!

[crunk001]

the water is standard.

[MattIsMakinVideos]

how did you get the water like that

[ingz1993]

you will need to change the fog density.

[hitachi654]

but it only changes the color not the actual texture.

[Demyxman12]

When I go near the ground in edit mode or play mode it creates a huge shadow. Can someone help me please!

[highblur]

It looks like you just added sand-colored grass to your map instead of actually adding sand?

[yz250thatownsyou]

i know, this is only a half tutorial.

[Duckerly]

To add fully the texture, not only change the color, first choose the texture what you want, then click on the ''Edit Surface Types'' -button, then add a new Surface Type, select it and click Material Editor -button. Then select the same texture as before and click the ''Pick Selected'' -button. Then press OK. Then, over the ''Edit Surface Types'' -button is a thing that says ''Default''. Click it and choose the Surface Type that you made before.

[hitachi654]

thank you

[dvdhny]

What isnt working about it

[hitachi654]

how do i make spawn points for instant action and spectiator views.

[Vaporifix]

Why is it that when I try and add a texture it just colors huge chunks of land white sand even though I don't have the texture selected? It colors a big square block with just one click.

[vivachief]

ive got the same problem as stryeker, when i add new layers and save they arnt there when i load the map again any help?

[Kalisimo99]

I've got a solution to this, when you load the map (with no extra textures) then go to Layer Painter, and set the radius to 999.99 (max), and then set the hardness to 0 (lowest). then click anywhere on your map and all the textures should reappear.

It worked for me.

[vivachief]

thanks, ive also found you can go file - generate surface texture and that seems to work

[hitachi654]

hardness 0 means no texture put it to .1 and it will make it work.

[Altair19PL]

people get blurry outline etc... i know how to fix it. When you go to layer painter, uncheck Paint LayerID and Mask By Layer Altitude & Slope.. worked for me

[AddefromSwe]

Thanks it helped me :D

thx :D

[stryeker]

Why whenever I layer paint, save, exit sandbox, and open it again it isn't there? and when I want those layers back I have to repaint the spot again??

[Darkvision2012]

Hi, when I try to load a texture, I get an error and I have to shut down the program. Any ideas? =/

[dvdhny]

Run the program as administrator if u have problems!

[Darkvision2012]

Tried that. :(

[dvdhny]

then soz person. idk

[Samdamana]

WTF it just blurs the grass it isn't even the color of the sand.

[Sythiis]

Theres a white blurry outline around my texture of the sand... :/ Help? Thanks.

[thegamer1236]

THANKS SO MUCH, its kinda gay having a entire map be grass :P

[vader226]

WHEN I DO MINE IT MAKES SQUARES. someone help me?

[meatkoala]

damn i cant figure this out. plz help. when i try to paint a layer with mud it will be totally blurry. All other layers in my Map (5 layers) are perfect. HELP!

[runefan213]

well dude since that was like. i dont know how many months XD

but thanks dude

i managed to figure it out

only the hard way :O i reinstall the game XD

[DamageIncM]

I think I've had that.

Try and find the filter-slider in the Layer Painter.

And turn it down or in the middle, which should make it darker.

[macoloko99]

I give myself when loading textures, I choose I want but when I select I get this error. LAYER TEXTURES format introduced QUALITY LOSS .... someone can help me please?

[seba555419]

Well, as I can see you changed only color of the grass, how can I change it normally like it would look like normal sand?

[SageNTitled]

1.

Just do the exactly same thing as at the video. When you have done all, go to Terrain>Texture click your 'Sand' layer, and then press 'Edit Surface Types'.

In 'Surface Types' window, create a new one.

Click it and rename it to Sand or whatever you like.

Now press 'Material Editor' (be sure you have 'Sand' layer selected).

In the Material Editor, go to Materials>Terrain. Here you've got a lot of options, like 'beach_white_sand'.

Choose one of them and then just close the window.

[SageNTitled]

2. Now back at 'Surface Types' window, press 'Pick Selected'. It will stay 'Materials/terrain/beach_white­_sand' at Material Name. Now press OK. Done.

[seba555419]

Ok, thanks

[SageNTitled]

3. If it still doesn't looks like sand, then try go to 'Load Texture' and choose 'brown_leaves.dds'. Now try again =)

[piv0tzeu]

rayfan9876 thank you for youre explenation its muchly appricieted,it lerned me to get those qulity terrains back ^^

[DarkHackin]

I cant load any texture of roads folder. I got this error:

"Layer texture format introduces quality loss-useless format or quality can suffer a lot"

then other error window:

"error while loading the texture"

how can I fix this?

[ante9224]

same thing happens to mebut only textures with more details:(

[aldobu1990]

the same shit happen to me!

[johnlookister]

howcome whenever i put down textures on my map i has no detail on them. its just a plain color. how do i make it have good detail?

[rayfan9876]

Go to Terrain > Texture > Sand > Edit Surface Types > Add (rename it "Sand") > Material Editor > Materials > Terrain >> beach_white_sand_dry. Select it, close the Material Editor and in the Surface Types window, click "Pick Selected" The you should see the directory below it and click "Okay". Then in the Terrain Layers Editor window, Click on the "Surface Type" drop down menu and select "Sand" (make sure the Sand layer is selected on the left). Click "Okay" an you're done. Now it's actual sand!

[josemlopes]

Thanks

[MaZzARoCkS94]

[spartam3212]

Help me, porfavor: when I try to enter (ctrl+g), it does not work says: [Error] Failed loading map texture go 0.

That I do?

[Xanthochori]

i does that sometimes. I have no real answer nor have I found an answer. It will always show that texture error but it is no big deal. Really it works sometimes and not others. I know that it doesn't sound professional but it is true.
