Title: Heightmap Issue - Yes, that one. lol [SOLVED. TY]
Post by: LaughingWolf on October 21, 2016, 11:20:20 pm
Edit: [Problem solved!]
Yes, as predicted I'm sure, "My heightmap is locking (freezing) FH when I try to load it." The difference, I suppose is, that I have not had this issue before in map making. I have several maps and heightmaps of varying degrees of detail. This one.. refuses to cooperate. lol
Anyway; this is the map, with all the layers on. [Yes, I have flattened it before saving, but still No Dice; much to my frustration.] (http://orig11.deviantart.net/bc60/f/2016/295/1/f/pillarterrain1_by_jacelaughingwolf-dalvivs.png)
I have removed layers by layers, until this is what was left. This is almost no detail, so I do not understand why it won't let me load it. (http://orig13.deviantart.net/d19a/f/2016/295/1/a/pillarterrain2_by_jacelaughingwolf-dalviw2.png)
Any Ideas? Name: PillarTerrain.png Mode: Greyscale Size: 513x513 (I have also tried 512x512. No dice] Editing Program: Photoshop CS6
There is no reason I can think of, that it can load this, but not the one above.. I'm stumped. Pls halp. lol (http://orig06.deviantart.net/2652/f/2016/295/b/c/smallterrain_by_jacelaughingwolf-dalvivk.png)
edit: I have now also added some absolute black just to make sure that it wasn't just freaking out about not having a base, but alas. Nothing.

We can't see your images. Upload them toImgur.com (http://imgur.com)[or some other image program other than tinypic!] ;)
Anyways now that I can see it; Is it possible you may have accidentally duplicated a folder?

Not that I know of, but I will check. Ty.
Edit: Nope, doesn't seem so; blurred out some things for privacy's sake but .. looks normal to me. For reference "SmallTerrain" is the second one up there, the one that works, and shutterTerrain is the one I cannot get to work.

Have you tried exporting the heightmap from Gimp? Sometimes FH seems to only want to work with that program

I don't use gimp. Never have even had it downloaded. It would make no sense, since I've been using CS6 since I started making maps for it to suddenly dislike photoshop.

Maybe try opening the heightmap .png/jpeg up in Paint and resave over it through Paint?
Idk, may be worth a shot *shrugs*

nnoope xP
I'm going to dowload & install a fresh version of FH, see if there is something wrong with my install or something.
Edit: and again, no dice. Something about the image then. I cannot figure it out though.

Just copied visible, pasted it onto a new canvas in GIMP, and resized it to 513x513. It should work now. G'luck with y'er maps! Lovely heightmap ye got here.

Hmm.. I shall try that later (when I'm done online for the day). Thanks for the help regardless.
Edit: Thankyou! Poblem Solved!
