[BigCatsRock!]

                                            This is how to make Terrain Textures for your maps.
    
                                     There are Steps  you will need to follow and read everything carefully and make sure
                       you don't skip anything.







                                                
              
                                                                  
                                                            
                                                                                      STEP 1

                                
  
                                                                            Open up GIMP and click file and then click new and make sure the Width and the  Height is both 512 pixels . Then, click advance options and make sure the color space is RBG color.
 Then you click OK .

                                                          
                
                                                                       STEP 2



                                                                              Now lets start designing.
                         Use your fill tool your paint tool or your pen tool. you may want to use your blur too.
                       Get creative and make somthing you would really like. Take your time you really don't need to rush.



                                         STEP 3

                                                Once you are finished with your beautiful artwork, Name it.
Example: GreenGrass2.jpg
                                                          Then you will need to save it into FeralHeart/Media/Terrains/Textures

                                                
                                                                

                                                                     STEP 4

  Now go In-Game and go to tools Then Map maker. go to the worlds thing and see the texture terrains thing? Well, scroll down to bar untill you find your Texture Terrain.

                                                                   Examples of tools for Terrain Textures
                                     SAND -  I usally use Sand drunes and Galaxy tool and the Colors I use are usally Yellow Brownish Yellow and Light Yellowish Orange
                                                                 GRASS - I will use most only full size Galaxy  tool and maybe Sand Drunes sometimes and The Colors I use are Green Dark Green Light Green or Brownish Green.
                                                                 SOIL - I might use Galaxy tool on this a bunch of sand drunes and maybe some felt pen
and the colors I would use would be Light Brown Dark Brown Medium Brown and Brown - Yellow.

Hello. Thank you for the turtoil! I have a question though, I put my texture in the Map's texture file (FeralHeart>Media>Terrains>textures) and I went into the map maker, and selected my texture but it becomes all black! What did I do wrong?

Did you open the file defaultTex in your Terrains>Textures folder and type in YourTextureNameHere.jpg?

I have GIMP 2.0, and it says nothing about 'advanced options'. Help?

[Invader Shadow]

I have GIMP 2.0, and it says nothing about 'advanced options'. Help?

The reason you dont have it is because you need to get GIMP 2.8.2
