I've read in a couple places in the map section that it has to do with 48 as the depth.... Read thru them and it may help.
I'm correct 97% of the time..... who cares about the other 4%....

What program are you using and did you modify the water box any?

Another thing I noticed why is your map 512x512. In printshow the maps show as 601x601, would the size not be the same for photoshop?

Also if you could post a screenie of your map with all 7 parts or so it might be easier to tell you what could be wrong.

Your second image water area doesn't look right. Might be why your water is pink. I'll pm you a message shortly.

Figured it out.


in my maps senario xml this value was set wrong:

Code: Select all

<szDeepWaterColor>210,90,0</szDeepWaterColor>
that displays an orange

so i reversed it (R,G,B)

and got a nice blue

Code: Select all

<szDeepWaterColor>0,90,210</szDeepWaterColor>

Whatever happened to this map?

Did omega fall off the map?
