trouble making a map

[Runewing]

so i wanted to make a map, and make the ground... well... not flat. looked up a tutorial, and make a thing in gimp. saved it as a png file like it said to and removed the terrain file that was there. it wouldn't start up, wouldn't recognize the file, so i just removed the one i put in and put the original file back.... gimp won't let me make it a CFG file... there's a 'material' file? not sure how to proceed.

You don't save the heightmap as a cfg, you just save it as a png.

Make sure it's in greyscale mode, so you don't accidentally add color to it. Make sure the size is right (513x513 pixels). With some super detailed heightmaps, it will crash too. Like a super faded gradient for example.

You do not need to change or delete other files in the terrains folder, or any other folder. Just create the png (save it to fh>media>terrains), open fh, go to map maker, and the second tab (World) is where you put the name of your heightmap (Terrain Height map). If it's not finding the file, make sure you have the name perfect and that it's in the right spot.

Hope that helps.
