heightmap crashing my game

[papayatoot]

So, I don't understand what I'm doing wrong? This is not my first mapmaking rodeo, either, so I'm really confused...Here are all the details of the file.

Heightmaps should be in 513x513 rather than 512x512. Once I accidentally made a heightmap in the 512x512 dimension and it crashed the game. It may just be my computer that's picky like that, but I do suggest changing the dimensions of the heightmap to 513x513

Unless, of course, you've always made heightmaps in 512x512, which in that case, try remaking the heightmap. That happened to me once as well... Everything was right but it kept crashing. You can remake the heightmap and see if that works.

I hope this is helpful~

hmm. I've always made them 512x512, and I did try 513x513 as well and it still crashed...I guess I can try remaking it, but it's done it with like 4 different height maps!

I remade them all with no luck.

When making a terrain map, make sure when you name it you put
"MAPNAMETerrain.png" <<

For masks
"MAPNAMEMask.png" <<

If you haven't done this, it could be the reason it isn't working, as well as be sure to make sure the map is 513x513

For example,

"MappyTerrain.png"
"MappyMask.png"

I just had to take the images through GIMP; I don't know what was wrong with them, but GIMP fixed it.

If you have been using Paintool SAI, this could be the reason that your heightmap was crashing, since SAI does not contain some of the tools to create a heightmap. I'll lock this since your issue has been fixed. Good luck with your map!
