Title: When I put in terrain height maps, the game crashes?
Post by: Ivyleaf1212 on March 03, 2012, 09:23:15 pm

Hey, so, I was making a map, right? Well, I finally get a good Height Map, and so I decide to put it in. It's named "fourtreeslterrain.png" without the quotations. The l is not a typo, that is the actual name. Anyways, first I spelled it wrong so it just said it couldn't find it. I went back and put it in, then clicked another tab to load it. Immediately it said "FeralHeart.exe has stopped working." Thinking it was just being slow, I left the tab and came back, and it still was not responding and forced me to close it. So I tried again. Same results. I closed all my tabs down. Same results. Help? I really want to make this map, for a role-play I'm setting up.

Make sure your height map is:
513x513 or 512x512
In greyscale.

It's 513 x 513 in grayscale. It's png. So...?

Hm, maybe try changing it's name? That might help.

I took away the l so it would match... Although I just realized, I tried making a map without the tutorial first but failed, and I'm using the world in which I edited.
Do I need to make a blank world to put it in correctly?

I'm not sure, you should try that.

I did... I'm really confused now. The game works so I don't think it's antivirus or something and nothing else is wrong with my computer at the moment. Is it a problem with my computer or the game, do you think?

If you could upload the terrain heightmap on photobucket or something and then post the link, I could see if anything is wrong with it C:

Restarted. The game isn't crashing, but importing the file still is.

I opened it in GIMP and everthing seemed to be in order.
But I tried to load it and I crashed too D:

Strange... Should I just remake it? I used Photoshop, and opened the Windmill one then coated it in gray (i did this to get the right resolution) and then made it. Could that be the problem?

That would usually totally CONFIRM that is should work, if you just edited an already made one.
I guess...

That's weird. I'll just remake it later then.

It's working now! I changed a bit about the file and it finally worked.
