Title: Height Map Issues/SOLVED - Lock plesase
Post by: Repo on May 25, 2017, 10:11:14 pm
I'm making a custom map and when I type the height map in, it freezes my game and refuses to load. I've had no issues with the mask, but since I know i'll be asked this I'll list the things I did.

> I drew the height map on SAI, assuming that sai doesn't have a grayscale mode - I loaded it onto gimp and saved it in grayscale mode.
> The image is fully compressed.
> The image is a .png.
> I have changed the image into a JPEG and back into a PNG in hopes that would work, but it didn't.
> My game only crashes if I click out of the window a couple times, if I leave the feralheart window be it remains frozen.

If any of you could help me out with this, here's the height map image. Maybe someone could test load it into their game and see if they have the same issue with it? If you find a solution that would be wonderful.

This is a custom height map, please be nice and don't steal it. :(

I checked and the alpha channel is off.

In gimp, are you sure you're using the "export" option instead of "save"?

Yes, I export it each time.

Update: The height map image ended up needing to be compressed down, since I didn't know how I ended up using some kind of png compression website and it worked wonderfully. This issue is solved, thank you Kiki for helping out anyway!
