Make sure the map_t file is grayscale with RLE off. Map_c, map_h and map_t all have to be greyscale, RLE off.

I prefer using Corel PhotoPaint for my work but it does not save grayscale correctly (always saves Targa files as indexed). That had me frustrated at first until I found out what the problem was. GIMP will let you convert and save as true grayscale.

Hope this helps ....

ps. Slick trick by LAL_RONE, save your colour Targas as indexed, map loading time will improve considerably.
