Title: Death Realm checkerboard, gone. :)
Post by: Nilrem on March 02, 2006, 10:01:53 pm

Hello,

as most of you may already know there is a problem lately with the Death Realm, that shows a checkerboard at sides of its exit.
This problem was due to a little confusion with a file, was thought to be a png, but it was stored as a jpg one.
Replacing that should work but...
thanks to Bereror (again) I was warned about the need of relighting the map for that new texture really appear. And it did, so if anyone doesn\'t want to see that checkerboard again, I hope this will help you.

The expert and patient mode:

Go to the DR zip, extract runiconcrete.jpg and convert it to png, store it in the file again, and relight the map using the setup utility (can take some time)

Alternative way, thanks Ligh for noting it:

Edit the file \"world\" inside \"deathrealm.zip\" (after unpacking - and re-packing afterwards) with a text editor which supports large files (> 64 KB).

Search and replace every occurence of \"runiconcrete.png\" by \"runiconcrete.jpg\" (it shall even be enough to only replace the \"file\" attribute of the according definition).

The average player, with patience to try things, and fail

Download this:

Use the files it contains to replace the ones that you\'ve on your deathrealm.zip

The lazy one

Download the whole DR package, and replace the file on your planeshift directory art/world with the one provided:
http://rapidshare.de/files/14534385/deathrealm.zip.html
Yes, it\'s rapidshare again, there\'s your penitence :D


PS: While I do hope this will work on your end, as it works in mine, I can\'t guarantee that it will, thus, remember to keep always a copy of your original file.

PSII: Yeah, yeah... But what is that checkerboard thing?

Wrong thread! This topic does not explain such problems.
