P3D v4 Resampler Issue - Red Splotches

[scottb613]

Hi Folks,

Haven't messed with photo terrain since FS9... I think I have my INF file set correctly - it seems to work fine for summer - however my nice white snow has red splotches all over it and the blend mask seems to have stopped working in winter only - any ideas ?

Hi Folks,

Resampler does throw a warning on my blend mask:

Warning, C:\Users\N63503\Desktop\APPS\Games\P3Dv4\My Scenery\KIWI\SCO_KIWI_SAT_B.TIF: unknown field with tag 34665 (0x8769) encountered.

Blend mask is 256 color greyscale 8 bit TIF with LZW on...

Scott

Hi Scott:

If you used a NullValue of 255,255,255 in the Blend Mask section, that might explain the anomaly; if so, try it again without the NullValue parameter.

Hi Gary,

Been ages - sir - great to see you still holding the book of wisdom and knowledge around here... Always appreciate your help... Thank you - I'll give that a shot...

Hi Gary,

You've still got the Midas Touch - all good...

I had to change the Null Value on my WI texture and Blend Mask to "NullValue = 0,0,0" - works well - I'm assuming it's because when there is either absolute white or absolute black on the texture - it is equal to "null data" so we assign a value in that case ?

Anyway - thanks again...

Regards,
Scott

You don't need a null mask at all. With 0,0,0 you'll get black as red, instead of white..

Hi Dick,

Thanks as well for your help - yep - pulled it off the Blend Mask - all good - slowly but surely...
