Map Making
« on: August 09, 2012, 04:22:11 am »
So, I opened Watermill so I could make a map with it. I erased it, yes. But the issue is when I went to save it, it was .xcf. Im pretty sure its supposed to be .png, right? I dont know how to switch it over to that, but I dont think Im supposed to ask how on this forum. I use Gimp, and when I make a map and its most likely not .png, I think its the whole reason the game crashes when I try to put the terrain on it. Do I just type .png at the end or do I have to do something else? Is it supposed to be .xcf?

Click 'Save as' and save the file type as .png, this should make it work.


Also, make sure it's in grayscale, and 513x513, and there is no Alpha Channel while your at it.

Try adding '.png' to the end of it, this should work .O.

quick question, which file do I put it in? Default or another one?
