Anyway when i try to vertex paint my terrain at a point in the terrain while painting it the terrain turn all these weird green, pink, yellow, and blue colors can anyone tell me how to fix this?

You are using too many texture samples on your terrain. Reduce the amount of used textures and they'll go away.

Yeah I noticed which is sad cause I cant use more than 5 textures D: really limits what you can do with that.

5 Textures or 5 materials? Materials can have diffuse, normal and displacement textures/texture samples. At least I have had at least 7 different texture samples :P

sorry I am to used to saying textures as you need those first to make the material heh but yes 5 materials but it is more like 4 because the first layer I set up is the default material and I like to add-on to that one layer guess i'll have to get out of that habit even though it won't make to much of a difference.

You need to consider whether your terrain materials really need bump offsets or specular maps. Dropping those lets you add a single more material to your layers.

Remember to group textures in single files. You can get a specular map off the diffuse with maths and you can include a bumpmap in your normal map's alpha channel.

Efficiency is the key.

Thanks for the advice though all my materials have are a normal and a diffuse atm so I am at the very least hoping Epic does something about it but for the moment 5 materials got me through make my map though barely.
