Frustrating Cliff Mesh

[Crewman87]

Hey guys,

Trying a hand at a snow map and I haven't used the Niflheim texture set yet. After changing all the textures to the Niflheim ones I moved onto the "Ice Cliffs" to match the terrain.

However when I change the cliff texture to the Niflheim cliff texture and set the mesh to "Natural0" since it seems most follow this mesh for organic cliffs.

Now after all this I ran into a problem I am not able to fix, the texture is very distorted and I'm not quite sure why or how to troubleshoot it.

Here is a screenshot to show what I mean.

It could just be your computer. Try uploading a map with an example so we can take a look at it.

It looks like the wrapping is not aligning for the texture you are using. Are you really sure that the texture is designed to be used with Natural0 cliff mesh? Although one would hope Blizzard made all cliff textures using the same layout, ultimately it comes down to the artist's own choice when unwrapping the mesh.

Look here:

Try this map (Frozen Haven) and copy the tileset and the Niflheim cliff from it.

I downloaded FH and that map is using Xil cliff edges, so I dunno what it would be. I am almost positive I've seen a cortex map using Niflheim edges so I'm wondering if they had to go into further detail. I can upload the map if you want but these are all stock SC2 textures to begin with. =/

Would it be possible if you could post the map? I have a feeling that it might be because the cliff mesh is not wrapped appropriately for the texture.

Actually I don't think I need to, I switched the cliff to Meinhoff and it works rather well. Also after I changed it the texture wrapping corrected itself so I don't know what was going on but it seems to have fixed itself. I really appreciate the input though you guys are great. Thanks.
