Map Help Needed!

If you can use the map maker all the way until you enter your names of your images you are either putting the wrong names or file extensions in or you simply didn't make the heightmap or mask correctly, causing the game to crash.

I'd really suggest looking through video tutorials and follow exactly what's done and see if it works after that. Don't try to make something special, just make something basic follow the instructions/tutorial throughout and make sure EVERYTHING is correct and then import it to the game and see if it works.

I will provide two tutorials below that both explains heightmap making and terrainmasks for you both in PS and Gimp.

Follow those into the last detail when things are being made and see if the issue still arrives. I'm rather positive that the images are made incorrectly in one way or another.

I am going to go over everything you should do.
Make sure it is Grayscale
1 Layer only, if you have more you should flatten it, even sometimes flattening doesn't work though.
513X513 or 512X512
Remember to put Terrain at the end of the file name, for example: worldTerrain.png
Make sure its .png
Make sure its in the maps folder
Hope it helped, although I know you've tried most of these :3
