Title: Walls, hairs and acceroises shows up grey. Post by: Mi-chii on July 22, 2007, 05:54:30 pm Both me and my fiancè are having problems with walls, one type of hair and some accesoires showing us as grey.
Now, the walls are just plain grey, both in the preview and when you put them on a wall (rather nice shade of gray, though). Thing is, some walls in a set works, while others might not. These are set made by many different creators. The hair in question is raonsims hair nr. 35. All the windows-users I know have no problem with this hair, but one of them mentioned a cousin on a Mac having the same problem with the same mesh. It shows up in CAS and bodyshop like this: (http://www.insimenator.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=80944&d=1183129883) I have tried downloading retextures of this mesh, and they look the same. As for the accesoire: It's a bracelet, but when you put it on a sim, two huge grey squares appear at her ears. I have never heard of this before, and find especially the hair to be weird.@ Edited to add: I just found out this applies to terraint paint too... But NOT floors! Please someone say they have a way of fixing this. There are so many murals I need, where half the panels doesn't work. Title: Walls, hairs and acceroises shows up grey. Post by: SKARLIT on July 23, 2007, 09:38:02 pm I have nothing productive to offer, but I have the exact same problems (except the accessory one- I don't really dl those). The nose-pokey hair is the worst.

Title: Walls, hairs and acceroises shows up grey. Post by: Mi-chii on August 28, 2007, 12:58:50 am Forgive me for bumping this, but this problem is getting worse and worse, almost all the new downloaded walls in my game show up grey now.

Try and clean out your downloads folder! Title: Walls, hairs and acceroises shows up grey. Post by: ancienthighway on August 28, 2007, 02:04:34 am From a tutorial (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=147840) by HystericalParoxysm
Quote *** Edit: New information discovered June '06! You must first resize your walls to 256x512 before saving as a .bmp. Walls at 256x768 (or ANY other sizing except 256x512) will show as grey for Mac users, though they'll work fine for PC users. Please resize before saving so your walls work correctly for everyone. It sounds like the walls weren't properly sized as a .bmp. You should be able to go into HomeCrafter, clone the walls, resize the .bmp and get your walls fixed. The terrain paint and any floors that may be showing up as gray may have a similar problem.Sorry, no help for the hair though. Title: Walls, hairs and acceroises shows up grey. Post by: Mi-chii on August 28, 2007, 07:40:10 am Floors hasnt this problem.
There is no homecrafter for Mac >.< I just foínd it weird though, when someone makes a set of murals, that not all panels are the same size! Because some of the mural sets I have downloaded, half the panels in a set works, half dont. Title: Walls, hairs and acceroises shows up grey. Post by: ancienthighway on August 28, 2007, 08:58:21 am Do you have a link to the sets? I could run them through Homecrafter come up with a fix maybe.
Title: Walls, hairs and acceroises shows up grey. Post by: Mi-chii on August 29, 2007, 08:00:28 am There are so many, I can't ask you to do that. But you said it was HP that found this out? In that case I find it weird that her set of basic paints (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=217995) has this problem!
Title: Walls, hairs and acceroises shows up grey. Post by: AxelVal on September 04, 2007, 09:02:21 pm I had the problem with that same hair (well, a re-texture to make it look like Victoria Beckham/Posh Spice's hair) and it was fixed when I exported the file then imported it back in using BodyShop.
And I've had a few walls show up grey as well, but I don't know what to do about that. Title: Walls, hairs and acceroises shows up grey. Post by: HugeLunatic on September 04, 2007, 10:54:58 pm HP's basic sets walls are 256x768, which is not a power of two so the game on the mac can't display it properly. I would have to take a guess that the textures for the hair are not a power of two also. Even if it is 1 pixel off, the graphics won't display it.
If you have some that are grey that you really want you should contact the creator to have them fix it for you. FYI for those with windows, you don't need to export/import in homecrafter, just use simpe, export, resize, import, and save. Much quicker. Title: Walls, hairs and acceroises shows up grey. Post by: Mi-chii on September 06, 2007, 05:36:23 am AxelVal aybe I should try that, since I am way too in love with the hair for my own good.
Im gonna pm HP aout it at least, since she after all has was the one who found out, and then she didn't do it on her own walls. Title: Walls, hairs and acceroises shows up grey. Post by: Ingridtk on September 24, 2008, 12:00:20 am Thank you yes, I am having the exact same problem. I will try exporting and re-importing into bodyshop an see how that goes.
Edit: It didn't work, the hair is now partially showing up all shattered looking: (http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j151/Ingridtk/Sims%202/Glitch1.jpg) It's supposed to look like this :/ (http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j151/Ingridtk/Sims%202/big127.jpg) I'll contact the creator, because there may be other mac users that are having this problem. Title: Walls, hairs and acceroises shows up grey. Post by: Mi-chii on September 24, 2008, 02:27:29 pm Hmmm that exact hair looks fine for me.
Title: Walls, hairs and acceroises shows up grey. Post by: Mr Heartache on September 24, 2008, 03:41:16 pm Are you on a mac? I think someone over on GoS had the same problem because the textures were not mac compatible for some reason.
Title: Walls, hairs and acceroises shows up grey. Post by: Ingridtk on September 24, 2008, 10:51:13 pm Skeleton, yes I use a Mac, Its a shame this hair isn't showing up for me because it's awesome- all the other hair I've downloaded (so far) from raonjena are showing up fine though :/
But you're right about the texture thing- sometimes walls I download show up a grey in my game b/c they're not compatible. Oh well! Title: Walls, hairs and acceroises shows up grey. Post by: Damsel13 on October 04, 2008, 04:46:04 pm I have no answers but a weird thing happens to some hairs and accessories that show up grey or weird like the above picture. I have always played on a mac. Sometimes I just leave the hair that looks weird (not grey though) in the game and after a few times I have played, quit and saved. The hair fixes its self. I am not a computer person so I have no idea about it but I have been happy small things like this get resolved "magically". The only thing I can think of is I have installed Director's cut of More awsome than you hacks.
Title: Walls, hairs and acceroises shows up grey. Post by: HugeLunatic on October 06, 2008, 12:18:34 am One thing I've noticed on the mac is that sometimes you need to put your new downloads straight into the downloads folder without subfoldering. It's an odd anomaly that pops up every now and then that it just won't show unless its not subfoldered.
I've never seen the grey image as anything other than the image not being the correct size, and I've never seen them correct themselves. That particular hair I too have in game and it works fine. Title: Walls, hairs and acceroises shows up grey. Post by: Mr Heartache on October 06, 2008, 01:37:49 pm Someone of GoS fixed the textures for Mac. I'm sure if you search in the upload section you'll find it :)
Title: Walls, hairs and acceroises shows up grey. Post by: Ingridtk on October 06, 2008, 07:55:37 pm Skeleton, thanks- yeah I saw that! I was so excited, they show up great now! :)
