Height map not working
« on: April 25, 2020, 09:33:17 am »
When I enter the file name of the heightmap, after a bit of loading FH crashes. Idk what could be causing it. I've also checked the log file, it just says:
Capabilities:: VertexProgram: YES
Capabilities:: FragmentProgram: YES
Sound:: Initialized: YES
ERROR::SaveFile:loadz: WaterMillGates.cfg failed!

Thanks if you do help!

Hi! Try making sure your heightmap is a PNG, 513x513 pixels, & greyscale. If all fails, then it may have something to do with your game maybe? I'm not so sure. :(
Hope you get it fixed!

Make sure the shades of gray do not have any color. It may also depend on the program you are making the map in. The best is GIMP.

To both: I'm using GIMP, since It's my main art program. It's in grayscale mode and 513 x 513 pixels, and it's a png. So it's with my game.
Sorry I didn't get to you earlier~!

Did you also make sure there was only 1 layer, and that the image was flattened as well as having the alpha channel off?
For the sake of my own health and interests, I've left FH and I won't be looking back.

Yes, though I did have a second layer at some point bc it wasn't blurring, I merged that down. And even if I use a heightmap that was only ever 1 layer, it still crashes! And I never have the alpha channel on, its also as flat as it can be.
