my height map tht i made wont work!!plz help

[littlepinksprite]

That was an issue which I was stuck on for a looong time. I used layers with alpha channels for all my height maps I made in gimp, and restarted them so many times trying to isolate the issue. I hadn't for quite a while.

Ooh! Heres something that works for me~ x3. I forgot to add it.. XDD

Copy-paste the heightmap that you made into the Watermill terrain- after opening that up of course.
After you rename 'watermillTerrain.png' to '_____Terrain.png', click 'save as' and flatten the layers, then try to open it up.

So it's probably the one layer thing. When you get done with the heightmap, flatten it and then copy it and paste it into another document, making sure it's 513 x 513, grayscale and no alpha channel. Then export it as however you want it, but as a .png. Flattening or merging the layers does not work, it has to be one layer all throughout the process.

*sigh* it didnt work....

If you can't get it to work, if you have the heightmap you can send it to me and I can get it so it will work.
