Map maker crash
« on: December 30, 2011, 08:11:37 pm »
Every time  I enter in my png map file in map maker, the whole game crashes. I always place it under 'terrain height map' as well as always name it. I used to be able to do it on my old dinosaur computer without crashes, but I just recently purchased a laptop and got rid of the old computer, but for some reason it crashes and wont let me make maps even though it is new.

any advice?

If your heightmap crashes, make sure:
it's greyscale
513x513 OR 512x512
there are not any layers

If it still crashes, try switching to a .jpg.

If it still crashes, flatten the image and try again.

Thank you so much! It worked for me! I did not know to set the file to Grayscale, which was the cause of the crash. Again I thank you so much!
