Title: Is Paint.NET good for making maps?
Post by: Peter on September 01, 2011, 05:38:43 pm
Recently, I tried to make a test height map using Paint.NET. For the ocean I used a shade of grey, and for the highest point I used white and wrote out the word "Test". But everytime I try to log-in to my account, or go into Map Maker, FeralHeart closes and comes up with FeralHeart.exe has stopped responding.
So is Paint.NET an option for making maps?

I'd say no.
I haven't used it myself so I can't say for certain if it works or not, but why use it when you can have something like GIMP for free that works perfectly for making maps?
Go download GIMP and make a heightmap in that, once you know how to use it I think it will be better.

Paint.NET can't make greyscale images. The heightmaps MUST be greyscale. That's why Paint.NET can't make them

Please don't bump old threads. If you're having a problem with Paint.net crashing Map Maker, try the solutions in this link (https://feral-heart.com/smf/index.php?topic=62394.0)
