Hey,

I am editing a map to try it out. Done quite some work and never had a problem. Now i came across that the ground has a line where you can see through the map and at some angles it closes again but also the terrain changes a bit. To illustrate what i see, i'll put image below.

I have selected the Terrain scengrh to see the grid and on left you clearly see the gap and the right i have moved a little bit and the gap closes but also the terrain get's a different shape in and around where the gap was. I tried to smooth it out but no luck.

What have i done wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Kohlzz

Hi Nico, i just came on to post the same problem, i've been building a map of my own and i just had that happen to me, maybe someone will have an answer for us.

Hello Tony,

We could help each other in the meanwhile and hope we answer our own questions in the end. Does it also happen in the editor? I have read somewhere that someone had the issue of the terrain having a different shape while you move the camera. They say some people have the same issue and it will be fixed in the next game patch. However, since it occurs in the editor as well, I do not really believe it's going to be fixed this way.

My guess is save ur work and back it up. Try to remove everything you recently imported to your map step by step to see if it's caused by a mod conflict?

it does it in the editor to, but not as bad as in the game. in the game, the terrain will move and i can see through it to. but in the editor, it just moves. hopeing for a fix to. i have also not added any mods and still have the same issue.

don't look no more!! as I wrote my message I thought to give it another try. I went underground, thus under the ground texture and I noticed a few (origional) buildings some distance away as well a sign. I removed those items and gap and terrain shift went away. I would say, go look for some hidden forgotten objects and remove them. Let me know if it also worked for you :)

no nothing underneath except waterplane, this was the goldcrest basic mod map that someone had uploaded to modhub.us , i had deleted everything from it , flattened it to 100 then started building from scratch, been working on it for awhile, was cutting a river from north to south when i noticed it was pulling apart, was only going 2 meters deep, been working on a 4x and a 16x too but so far no problem with them, the waterplane was the last thing i imported, so i will go delete if , see if that changes anything.

Tony Price (brownthumb) 07.01.2017 04:56
no it didn't change anything.

Nico Lardon (Kohlzz) 07.01.2017 06:38
Strange. Your problem is something else then. So you removed everything and just left a plain empty map and recheck the location where it happens? Don't forget to reload the map. My problem was a wall sign with transparent background... Was a pain to find it but that did the trick for me. Hope you'll find your problem soon

Tony Price (brownthumb) 23.01.2017 15:38

I cant lower or remove anythink with the left mouse button. if I raise terrain I cant lower it with left button. shame as if I info layer a bit of terrain I cant remove it with left mouse button.

The 1.4 update of the game is out, but what about the update of GE?

Tony Price (brownthumb) 22.03.2017 15:03
should have mentioned this awhile back, but have been quiet busy lately, found the culprit that was causing splits in the maps, not only mine but in a few other maps that i liked but found they had the same problem, it is a deco item, an old looking vehicle, looks like an old crane with id name 1_04, once i deleted it maps closed back up.
