Game crashes when i try to change the mask name (Map Maker)

Well i used only the Paintbroosh and Smudge Tool

Did you try gimp with the heightmap too? I feel like it's not the mask that's causing this because the mask can have transparency and color all it wants without issue, but the heightmap would still crash it if it has any color in it (even if you used only gray, SAI and gimp both would still save it as RGB unless you change the color mode).

Umm this:


See where it says Grayscale at the top? Make sure it says that there for the heightmap. If not, click on the "Image" button and then the "Mode" button to change it.

so i did a new terrain but i wanted to be sure if it's ok, and i used the grayscale (it doesn't have alpha channel)

It looks like that should work but this "D6S Grayscale with sRGB TRC" bit at the very top is something I'm not familiar with. I've stuck with gimp version 2.6 very specifically because of FH being very picky. xD

It looks like it should work because all the settings are right except for that one thing so if it still doesn't work then trying an older gimp version is my recommendation.

The problem is that i don't know wich version was the older one

[VortexAlive]

Here is where you can find the older version:
https://download.gimp.org/mirror/pub/gimp/v2.6/windows/
Look for "gimp-2.6.2-x64-setup.exe" and click on that one.

so i tested the terrain and it's working, i think it's not neccesary the mask

[VortexAlive]

The terrain is working? Awesome!

Is the game still crashing at all?

[aryana100]

well if i don't click/edit the "defaultMask.png" it will not crash, well i will try tommorow with another terrain but with a mask to see if it works the mask

Just took a look at your images. Looks like your colors aren't correct on the terrain mask.

When making a terrain mask, you need to make sure all base colors, red, green and blue, are "hard" colors.



The numbers circled need to be at 0 on all colors (for red) when applying them to the mask. Otherwise, it'll crash and or just not work period. So if you need red, blue and green will be 0. If you need blue, green and red will be 0. So on and so forth.



^ Red ^



^ Green ^



^ Blue ^

So now that you're working with "hard" RGB, you can of course blur them together as much as you'd like.

Hope this helps~
