Map maker crashes

[Chunky_Squirrel]

Okay so, I made the terrain in grayscale 513 x 513, made the mask as well, RGB color 513 x 513, when I type it in, everything works lovely, but when I try to correct the Height from 300 (original) to 11300 or 1300 and try to turn around, the game instantly crashes! WTF?!

P.S. I made the width 115000 and it crashed too....

Hmm. I wonder. Did you flatten the image afterwards? If everything isn't on one layer, my map maker always crashes.

No, I remember how to make maps and I even watched a video just in case, but it still crashes.. So Idk.. :/

Is this a problem that has only recently happened? I'm unsure if I am correct but I try to avoid making large maps because they require a lot of time for the game to load it up and can just crash because too many assets. This could be why the game is crashing, at least that is what I think.

Make sure you remove alpha channel as that can cause crashing with the map maker. When loading up the map in general though, duplicate particles also cause crashing so be sure to delete any in your particles folder.

You could also try making the map larger in smaller increments instead of doing it all at once? This would require less of a load for the game and possibly make it load faster.

Alrighty, I'll keep that in mind, thank you!

I completely forgot about the alpha channel, heh, thanks for the reminder! But the thing is, it didn't crash UNTIL I typed in the Width and Height and then tried to look around, then it crashed, so I don't think it's that problem. I'll see if that happens with much smaller numbers of Width and Height!

I'll try that, thanks.





I'll return if I have any other problems!

The map is working only with the new design, the previous design that I liked better sadly doesn't, even after the alphachannel is turned off and everything is in their right order... :/
