Texture in UP3

[masconti]

When I play with UP3RC4 single mission Germany Ju 78 "sink the Marat" the fortification on the small island around the target are blank (like black carats).
No problem if I fly this mission in othrt mods 

[Boomer]

Hm,I do not seem to have this mission in my game ?

Have you downloaded it from somewhere ?
if so,I would need a link to check it out

I searched M4T and found nothing in regards to Sink the Marat

 

[masconti]

I'm not sure but i think it's a single mission of stock game.

[ZDLP]

I think Marat has been in stock game since beginning 

I manage to replicate what masconti talks about I guess...

From distance it looks like black blocks:



But up close they are there:



Settings are max all the way.

Well using search in my games finds nothing
not in my default 4.10 game or in UP 3.0 or in UP 2.01
Nothing comes up under Marat,I can't find a single reference to anything of Marat or Sinking the Marat

what exactly is the mission name,and where exactly is it located would help
or... post the mission

Are you on Perfect settings for sure ?

I don't know and I have waited enough time just trying to find the mission to try and troubleshoot it
with out an explicit detailed report,and actual mission name and the location of that mission
I can spend anymore time on this

[masconti]

ZDLP You have sent what I said

[ZDLP]

Its found (in game) under Single Missions--->Germany--->Ju-87. Mission name Ju-87B-2 N1 (SINK THE MARAT!)
File name: Ju-87B-2_1.mis
Yes my settings are max all the way!

Ok,thanks so much
I was using windows search with Marat etc. no wonder I did not find it   

I test my UP 3.0 RC4 game out and everything is fine in that mission
I do not get the black texture issues you guys see to have


Something is corrupted,your install
maybe your config.ini (try a back up config.ini)

If running a #UP# folder ....
who knows then because if so, you have changed your files and are in fact Modding your own game then
so anything could be possible.

Graphics card issue ,RAM issue
I'm not really sure myself

I know a corrupted config.ini though can have unusal effects on maps
same as a corrupted install

I tested on a clean UP 3.0 RC4 game with nothing else added to it
Here are some pics

I continued up to 6000 altitude and still did not get those black textures
the pics show 4000 altitude with no texture loss or issues

So everything seems fine in my game,sorry but I really am not sure why you guys have this issue

[masconti]

Boomer, all is OK in your system.
What I don't know is why in mine this map is wrong only when I use UP3RC4.
If you can, send your config.ini for me and all the other guys. We 'll try it.
Thanks

[ZDLP]

Thanks for the tryout Boomer! 
For my part it’s really not a big issue as this is the only time I encountered such a problem.
I was just curious when I read about the problem and wanted to try for myself, otherwise I might never had seen it. 
I do not have anything in #UP# folder so I will check the Conf to see what’s going on!

The error is in PerfectMapTextures Mod (inside UP3 and alone or with other mods) when you 're using large FOV.
I'm waiting for a solution

cool pic 

[Boomer]

There you go then,don't use the so called Perfect map textures then

BTW,this so called Perfect map texutres
is really not any perfect map textures or anything like that
Never was

All perfect map textures are,is repaints of some maps
repaints by Vpmedia (summer maps)and Gilb57 (winter maps)

Just don't use them,and you won't be changing the maps textures

The error is in PerfectMapTextures Mod (inside UP3 and alone or with other mods) when you 're using large FOV.

Better for you to use your own Back Up config.ini
Mine is teaked for my own personal use and PC so is of no value to you to try and use it

If you do not have your own back up config.ini
well making mistakes is the best way to learn something
Always make a back up of any file that is going to be changed

and the config.ini should have been the very fisrt file that was ever backed up and saved
you'lle need to get one from the default game if you do not have a back up

Boomer, all is OK in your system.

I don't use Perfect map mods, but I think this mode is inside UP3 and if this is true I can't unable it.

[StG77_HaDeS]

Use perfect detail for landscape.

[masconti]

I'm using perfect detail.
I think is something about LOD.

[StG77_HaDeS]

Then I'm afraid we cannot do anything, looks like its system-specific.

[Boomer]

Your issues have nothing to do with LOD
Black textures usually means missing textures,so a corrupted install IMHO
Or it could be a corrupted config.ini but I highly doubt that and would lean towards missing textures

If it was an LOD issue,then you would not see the object at all,
at which ever Level Of Detail of that object where it was missing

So the object would NOT be visible from a distance...
 and then BANG POP-UP in your face instantly once your very... very... close

The T.o.W. objects are objects with LOD issues
and they are the only objects with LOD issues
Do to not being imported from ToW properly

I have seen objects ,planes,even complete maps etc. etc.
with black textures

Every single time it was missing textures,
or in case of a whole map being black then it was a corrupted config.ini

Sorry,but your install has issues and has nothing to do with anything else

My testing game,is a DVD Patch thrpough accordingly to 4.101m
Then I have downloaded the Public torrent,addd all RC patches HaDeS has made available...
and I have added nothing to this install or tweaked anything including nothing done to my config.ini

And I do not have these black textures,nor numerous other things that have been reported
Usually it all comes down to a corrupted game or install

Starting over and re-installing everything is all I can suggest
It takes me less than an hour to do a complete new install
An hours worth of time and energy and your problems could be solved

In most cases a re-install usually cures things like this
but of coarse that is only IMHO

Before to reinstall:

1) if I play with stock 4.10.1 I see the texture
2) if I play 4.10.1 stock game and Perfect texture map mod I see  a darker green forest and I see the black textures when I flight high or with large FOV (the texture are OK if I change FOV when I look through the hole of the stuka).
3) if I play  4.10.1 UP3RC4 It's all like point 2 (dark green forest and black textures)
4) If I see the map in the Full Mission Builder the texture are black at low zoom level and suddenly became up at high zoom level

For the moment that's all (folks!)
