Map Height
« on: June 09, 2011, 06:30:10 am »
So Im giving my first shot at making an actual map with height differences. Ive been watching videos on youtube to show me how to do it and I think Ive got a pretty good map for a first try. Ive already got the mask down but, Now Im trying to upload my Terrain into map maker and its saying the file cant be found. So I went back to the videos and followed the saving process step by step, and still no luck.

So then I take a closer look at the videos. These videos were made by people before the new version of Feral Heart 1.06. Its obvious because theres no exports folder, so my guess has to be that theyre not saved the same way. Could anyone maybe explain to me how to save my terrain file properly or even better, give me a link to a video? I would really like to start creating maps and let my mind go wild. Thank you!!!

No, I don't think that's it Rimfrost.

You just need to put your heightmap into the 'terrains' folder for the game to find it.

Sounds like a spelling error. Locate the file itself and double-check the name. FeralHeart is also case sensitive. So even if all the letters are placed correctly, a lower case where there should be an uppercase would still say it can't find the file.

:D well I think it was something along those lines because I renamed it and now it keeps crashing everytime I try to pull it up. I guess thats an improvment?

Have you tried opening the terrain in the program you used to make it then copy/paste it to a new canvas, and re-saving it over your old file?

That's what has always fixed the crashing for me.
