problem with some maps "greying"

When you zoom out mildly far on my friends comp and my comp, the some maps goes grey. Why is this happening and what can we do to fix it?

btw, we have the latest patch.

thanks!

IIRC its a known issue that is limited only to certain maps, and happens because of a certain way the map author saved the .tga file.
I don't know how to fix it, but I suppose if you have something like Photoshop you could try and open the .tga and resave it using different settings and see which works.

You have to write ".tga" and not ".TGA"

They are all "tga". thanks though

Agrajag, do you know what settings to change?

thanks!

Just tell me which maps and I'll have a look at them!?

Generally, make sure to save as 24-/32-bit .tga with RGB colours (not indexed, e.g. Irfanview is notoriously misleading about this) with RLE compression (Run Length Encoding) and 0,0 to the lower left (if you can set this in your software).

ah, never mind. with dom3 being out next month, dom2's maps won't be used much longer
