Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 - The Modding Dungeon Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Modding General Divinity Engine 2 = Black Screen?

Hey all,

I've been attempting to create a custom map (very small harbor scene). Any time I load it into the GM mode or the switch game mode in the engine itself, I just get a black screen. I've tried playing with a ton of lighting options but nothing seems to really do the trick.

Anything helps.

Thanks!

Hey Dedricus,

There are generally 2 things that can cause you to not see anything:

1. I suspect this might be the culprit: You need to generate AI/Vision/Material information. The AI Grid Panel is used for generating information concerning AI (where characters can walk), Materials (sounds of the painted terrain layers) and Vision (where characters can see or not). If vision information in particular is not available, you won't see anything. And if AI information is not generated, you won't be able to move to anywhere where you can see. Place a Start Trigger, or an AI Seeder Trigger from the Root template panel anywhere in your level and press the "Full Generate" button in the AI Grid Panel.

2. Do you have a player character? In-engine you should get a dummy. If that's not the case, you can place a character from the Root template panel and set the "Player" value to true. You'll know you have a player in game mode, if you have his portrait on the left side. If so, just double click on it to be sure it is selected and you see its skill bar.

Hopefully it's one of those two Else we'll look further of course.

Appreciate the response. Gonna go ahead and try one of these and see what's up.

The AI Grid Vision was the culprit! My freshly lit docks and I thank you!

Raise the anchor, hoist the sails, this mod is sailing off to a good start!!
