ok, thanks for the reply. In fact the 128k Map i downloaded from motherlode DID NOT work, but I thought it might have been a broken .zip-part.

Hi, I made a 64k earth normal map just like it is discribed in the step-by-step workout on celestialmatters.org. So I have a "earth_normal_map" folder with 6 level folders inside ( level 0, level 1, level 2, level 3, level 4, level 5). I converted the the Images to .dxt5nm format. So the images are ...
