As luck would have it, it had probably never happened before to anyone but me but anyway...
I have recently compiled my own course and I keep getting very strange distance hints when I move the cursor over the club menu as you normally do. When I select a DRIVER, the hint shows 139m! (152yrds) When I hit the ball however it travels normal distance, that is far above what the hint shows. Also, for example, when I try to pitch the ball onto a green and use long-short slider the distance hint shows exactly the same distance regardless of the settings.
This is a very strange game behavior given the fact that ALL other courses including my other custom ones work normally with the same player profile. I also tried to reinstall course, compile it again, optimize detail as much as I could. Nothing helped. Sure, the course is playable, but not for novice golfers.
The only reason that comes to my mind might be the fact that this course has lots of points and uses quite a few libraries. Still I don't know how this has to do with distance hints... :/ Any suggestions? |

Very strange problem. When on the other custom courses the distance is ok, there must be a problem with your course. Not sure what the problem is , but some rules about the max course points.
Total course points of your course: Stay below 140.000.....or better go below 120.000
Is any one texture exceeding 65,000 points, that would cause it to appear as a transparent texture.
Also try the option in Course architect: Repair course
( Open course architect....Tools....repair course ) |

Uh-oh... that hurts. The course has something like 260.000pts! If not for the problem it would have looked great. There are no transparent textures. Do you think dividing some textures into two separate ones would help? Repairing did not help. I tried that as well.
I guess Ill have to write the club distances down from a working course... :) |

260K points is not a problem as long they are are distributed relatively even and properly optimized. If you do not have transparent textures no need to worry about changing that. It would help to know what textures you are using as well as which ones seem to be off distance wise. |
