Normals Map?

[Daimond]

Has anyone gotten the something_n normal map to work? I have made a normal map about 20 different ways and always get the same error. seems anything marked with _n gets same error.
Sugestions? or is it just broken right now?

what part of this error makes you think it has something to do with normal maps?

 

[Daimond]

normal map in folder I get error. Delete normal map, every thing ok and no error.

What are you creating yoyrs normals with ?? Maybe it has to do with your software ?! :unsure:

 

[Daimond]

I have used 2 plugins for photo shop the NVidia and xNormals (stand alone and photoshop plugin), I bought and prefer to use, Ndo by Quixel. I have never had a problem with normals till now, hell even tried realy old school grey scale
Only one I have not tried is the 3ds built in one, but found it difficult to use.

Have you tried using another model ??

If you're certain it's only the normal map causing the problem; check whether it's 8-bit or 16-bit. My guess is it's 16-bit, and you'll need to change it to 8-bit.

Well that worked, never thought of changing the bit rate, as never needed to do that for another game and no mention of that in notes.

But do seem to have another problem crop up, that I now cant import a building as a building or a tree as a tree. I can import a building as anything but, even the building as a tree. This problem sees to steam from 1 of several mods I downloaded last night, and removing them didn't help. First seen this when the colour correction mod seemed to not be letting me exit game.

This problem had occurred for me whenever the texture maps were not of the same file type (e.g. a mix of .jpeg and .png) I found changing everything to .jpeg fixed the issue. Give it a try!
