« on: January 13, 2013, 04:51:39 am »
I need some help. When I type my in my terrain hight map in the map maker it says It could not find my file.
I have no idea what im doing wrong. Does it have to be saved in a certain place? Everything is saved on 1 layer, and its grey scale, an no its not crashing.

It should be saved in your map folder, located in your Terrains folder. When you're typing in your map terrain image, make sure you include any capitals or symbols included :)

the map folder will be named the exact same as what you want your map to be named.

Go to Feralheart\media\terrains

your map folder should be located in there. If its not then you haven't created one. The heightmap should be placed inside your map folder.

To create a map folder if you havent already, go to map maker. Type in the map name and hit save. Turn off FH and look in the terrains folder. Your map folder should now be there. Place your heightmap in and load fh back up. Click map maker. The type in the name of your heightmap.

Go to Map Maker and create a new map by typing in a map name:



Then hit the Save button. It will create a new folder in Local disk (C:)>>Feralheart>>Media>>Terrains folder :)

EDIT: Didn't realize you posted, Gaara cx
