Thanks for the advice, but it didn't work. Going true my old map versions now to see if I can find something.. But it doesen't look good.

Ok now i know what generating the dds files for the enviroment shader thing. it is done when you generate surface maps of course. I made a new little test map in battlecraft to figure ot how it works. And it work fine with using BGA extracting and packing the map. So now I have generated new materia...

So, tried first to swap the files as said before. Then tried to change the path in the init.con. But it won't work. So what step do I have to do? What made the dds files from the beginning?

These dds files are created when you do one of the renderings of the map if I understand correctly? Maybe I must render shadows and stuff aga...

The reflections on metallic vehicles is done via a texture file called the environment map. this is not a vehicle textures but a part of the map itself. each map has its own envmap. i believe this environment file is missing in your map. Your envmap should be in the /textures/ folder inside the MAP...

Hello, again I have a question. Im using the JU88 from BoB, and of some reason I started BoB to check something. And noticed that the skin on the Ju88 reflects the environment a little bit. Just enough to make it look like metal. But when using the exact same object in my map there are no reflection...

Found the error. I had added a PCO in the Mosquito, based from the code that allready was in the con from Dice. Didnt notice that they had removed the corresponding code in the "network.con". So I just added that. So now I can use the latest version of my map again. Thanks a lot for the po...

Oh, so there are people that knows that stuff?;)
