Map help

[Bread]

I've had this problem before but it's happening again. I'm currently making a map in gimp, and every time I try to export it to the map maker, it always crashes. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I'm entering the right title, the alpha channel lock is off, I only have one layer. Can someone help? Thanks ^^

Is the size 513x513 and is it in greyscale mode? The terrain needs to be greyscale and the mask (if you have one.) needs to be RGB.

Yeah, both greyscale and 513x513

Is it a .png or .jpg and are you typing in the entire filename, extension included? "MapnameTerrain.png"

Hmm, try using "Image > Flatten" then saving and then try using it again.

While the alpha lock may be off, there still may be an alpha channel present. Right click the map layer and look to the lower half of the menu and make sure it doesn't say "Remove Alpha Channel". If it does, then click that.
