Error: C:/Users/.../mods/This_is_the_sample_mod_map_1/ModMap.lua:5: '=' expected near ' '
Error: mission class This_is_the_sample_mod_map_1.ModMap could not be found.

I´ve tried on several maps (all different edits of sample mod map) Cant get it right even on a clean new created mod map.
Hope someone can help me sort this out

Thanks

What numbers do I need to change to increase the number of angles? I want to do 32 angles.

The numbers are in my post two posts above yours.

Also, in the modMap.lua, change the line

  local numAdditionalAngleChannels = 1;
to
local numAdditionalAngleChannels = 3;

and in groundshader.xml,
change
angle = ceil(angle*3-0.0001)/4*3.14159;
to
angle = ceil(angle*31-0.0001)/32*3.14159;

I think that was all of it. I followed the instructions in Stegei's first post, then I looked at another map to see what numbers had been changed for 32 directions and made the changes I posted above. Good luck.
