The terrain mask is much simpler than it looks, just think of it as the game's coloring page. Color your map red,green, and blue then save it under a different name then your done. (make sure it's saved in your terrains folder.)

In map maker:

Red= one terrain texture

Green = another terrain texture

Blue = a mix of the textures you already used

Here you go, i'm not sure what colors you wanted where but i guess it's good enough:



There is a lot of stuff up with your heightmap though:

1.It's much bigger than 513x513

2.it's JPG instead of PNG (not sure if that matters but it might)
