when you load the layers.cfg configuration file, in it you should write:
<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">class Layers
{

class terrain
{
texture = &#34;BHD_mogadishu&#92;data&#92;terrain_mco.png&#34;;
material=&#34;BHD_mogadishu&#92;data&#92;terrain.rvmat&#34;;
};

class beachsand
{
texture = &#34;BHD_mogadishu&#92;data&#92;beachsand_mco.png&#34;;
material=&#34;BHD_mogadishu&#92;data&#92;beachsand.rvmat&#34;;
};

class sand
{
texture = &#34;BHD_mogadishu&#92;data&#92;sand_mco.png&#34;;
material=&#34;BHD_mogadishu&#92;data&#92;sand.rvmat&#34;;
};

class grass
{
texture = &#34;BHD_mogadishu&#92;data&#92;grass_mco.png&#34;;
material=&#34;BHD_mogadishu&#92;data&#92;grass.rvmat&#34;;
};

};

}
};[/QUOTE]
(obviously don&#39;t put the textures i use for my map)

then the mapLegend.png must go in the directory you wrote http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif

that&#39;s strange... maybe open the png in PS, and save it again... maybe some texture format problem... try and tell us

my 2 cents on this would be
1) try and redownload the file from the wiki
2) check for spelling errors

I concur. When I first started out with Visitor I quickly learned that the most minute detail can cause severe problems, sometimes I had to decem-check all the paths before I found an error. Being an absent-minded person can cost you valuable time I&#39;m afraid. http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/confused_o.gif

there are 3 of us trying to get this to work we have checked for spellings over and over spent a few hours checking with no joy and have redownload the mapLegend quite a few times as well still with no joy.

thank you anyway guys

You have a: sat_lco.png, Mask_lco.png, Maplegend.png and a layers.cfg, yes ?

all put in P:&#92;Mymap&#92;source

Now in P:&#92;Mymap&#92;data you have all detailed texture files (png&#39;s) and some Rvmat files ?

I&#39;m not sure if visitor will change all detailed texture files to .paa files automaticly but if NOT, you should convert all .png&#39;s in the data folder to .paa files, then open up the Rvmat files and change all .png to .paa, be sure the paths are right.

Then you should also change the paths in the layer.cfg file.

Quote[/b] ]class Layers
{

class terrain
{
texture = "mymap&#92;data&#92;terrain_mco.paa";
material="mymap&#92;data&#92;terrain.rvmat";
};

class beachsand
{
texture = "mymap&#92;data&#92;beachsand_mco.paa";
material="mymap&#92;data&#92;beachsand.rvmat";
};

class sand
{
texture = "mymap&#92;data&#92;sand_mco.paa";
material="mymap&#92;data&#92;sand.rvmat";
};

class grass
{
texture = "mymap&#92;data&#92;grass_mco.paa";
material="mymap&#92;data&#92;grass.rvmat";
};

};

class Legend
{
picture="mymap&#92;Source&#92;MapLegend.png";
class Colors
{
terrain[]={{86,77,52}};
beachsand[]={{190,168,158}};
sand[]={{127,114,87}};
grass[]={{47,81,34}};
}
};

you can leave the LEGEND as PNG.

Thats it.
