I am having trouble getting a terrain to work as well. I'm not sure if it's me or the program I am using? I created a 512x512 at first for many attempts. Then saw yours saying to use 513x513 and still the game wants to crash on me. I'm only using one layer, and using greyscale. I'm not sure if I am just using too many shades of grey, making it too advanced or what...? It's not working for me at all...it always crashes. Is this just a screw up with the latest patch, or am I doing something wrong. I am using Paint Tool SAI, but have also tried to make maps using Gimp.
Its a shame...because I'd really love to make my own terrain height maps. I have alot of neat ideas for one...If I can't make terrains I suppose I'll just have to deal with flat land for now. But I'm hoping you can help me out, or someone can.
Thanks
