So, I made a height map for a Hunger Games RP, but when I try to load it into map maker, the game either freezes up or crashes completely. I made it using GIMP, all on one layer, 512x512, greyscale.
If anyone has any idea as to what's going on and is willing to help, that would be lovely!

Does it freeze as soon as you get onto Map-maker, or when you put in the Terrain or Mask file?
Hai Zar. c: ]]
-
Have you tried using 513x513 sometimes this size works for me.
-
It freezes whenever I try to put the Terrain file. And no, I haven't. I heard that 512x512 was the only way to get a Terrain file to work.
Hello, other Zar ^-^]]
-
Hmmm...Did you try putting your terrain name like: yournamehereTerrain
-
Yes, I saved it as HungerGamesTerrain. GIMP automatically adds .png whenever it's saved. And I know on the Map-maker, there's already a .png at the end of the file (defaultTerrain.png)
-
Sometimes i dont have to put Terrain at the end of it, Why not try that?
-
Okay. I know you're problem.
Its because you typed it in wrong either ingame or on the file. Go back online and re-type correctly. That always works for me. I've never seen GIMP save it as png auto, so make sure it is on it.
-
Zar, I re-saved it in GIMP as a .png file, then went into the Map-Maker, typed it in correctly, and it still froze up :c
And Shanith, when I typed didn't type in the Terrain part, it just said "Cannot find HungerGames.png!"
-
murrrrr....did you save it in the terrains folder?
-
Yup, I saved it to the terrains folder.
-
Hm.
If nothing works, I would try re-downloading FH. Make sure you still have your previous maps in the 'Downloads History'.
-
Alrighty, I'll try that. Thanks c:
-
Okwi.
I apologies if it doesn't work. <33
-
Well, now it won't let me reinstall the game because of the media folder -_- I uninstalled the game, then deleted everything, and the media folder refused to go. So, I'm trying to reinstall FH, but whenever it gets to installing the map directory, a pop-up with three options comes up. The retry and ignore options just loop, so I'm forced to abort installation.
This game hates me >:U
-
That sucks.
What does it say when the media folder won't go?
-
Hold on.... this was weird. So I came on here to post a reply, and just for the heck of it, went back to check on the folder (so I could get exactly what it said). Poof, everything that I needed to get rid of was gone o.o.
Let's see how installation goes now.
-
Sorry for ze late reply.
Tell me how things goes. Okwi? c:

I am with you!

Well, I was able to get everything installed, but it's still doing the same thing :/ I have that file saved for when/if I can get it working again. I'm working on a different map as of right now.
But thank you all! -hugs, cookies and pokes for all-

Height maps must be
513x513
png
grayscale
AND!!!! When using gimp you MUST remove alpha channel from the layer. This means right clicking on it and make sure Remove Alpha Channel~
