Insted of telling you I'll show you


I have it happens only on rivers and lakes, I have Photo realistic cfs2 terrain from
http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/brigstock/CFS.htm

any suggestions

That's a first

Did you install any add-on packs recently... maybe the textures got overwritten

Ad ons-
too many to name
A few hawaii sceneries
CFSII EUROPE 2 & 3
Crete
Japan terrain
.... list goes on

Instead does anyone know what texture is associated with rivers and stuff I might be able to find the solution easier that way

I am pretty familiar with how CFS2 does things, so don't be afraid to use big words or tell me to do things that "might potentially mess up game"

maybe the name of file or where I might find it

maybe scenery/World?

{Side bar conversation]//btw? while im at it whats the difference between the scenery and scenery db forlder[/sidebar]

Look in CFS2 under SCENEDB\world\texture

The two files (bitmap images) you want to concern yourself with are vrbanksu and vriversu.  If the are missing or corrupted you will need to replace them.

sorry for late reply
but there both there Imma try to replace them see if it works

The Pactex textures are wonderful (I use them myself) but some people prefer to retain the stock river textures.  If you backed up the originals try replacing the pactex ones with them (the two I mentioned earlier) and see how it looks.

tried to put old textures in but now I get little tiny rivers, I like the Pactex ones better

I cant seem to find
vrbanksu.bmp in Pactex do you happen to know if its in there?

Here's the river with the vriversu.bmp from PacTex 3



Its green

But the screenshot from below is with the PacTex 5 vriversu.bmp

I didn't seem to get a vrbanksu.bmp in my PacTex, maybe thats what I need

I don't have a vrbanksu.bmp in my PacTex either.  I thought there was one but apparently not.  My PacTex vriversu.bmp gives me the same green rivers you show in your screenshot.  

I'll send you an email with a couple of replacement textures you can try.  

thanks

I think putting the alpha layer from pactex 5 makes it gray.

And the moral of the story today kids is: Always back up yo' files!
