well then u didnt do it exactly....try going to the very first step where u create the ground (the alpha mask is in there) and then save it over the original ground....then open ur level in 3dsmax and re-apply the new texture.....continue on from there

i think i have it figured out
i named the texture in 3ds max ****_grond instead of ****_ground
and my .tif file is ****_ground

im pretty sure thats the problem
