Title: GIMP Height map problems
Post by: lionstar101 on April 23, 2012, 09:22:52 pm: So, I made my height map on GIMP. I had all the right things: No Alpha Channels, greyscale, 513 pixels, png file... all that. I saved it in my terrains folder. But, when I try to put it in as my height map on the map maker: ZenIceAgeTerrain.png. I get a notification saying it can't find that file. Any help?

Then you'll be able to save the height map to FH>Media>Terrains>(MapName)

513x513
One layer
Greyscale
No alpha channel
PNG. file.

^ Just double check, sometimes it changes when you're saving.

If it's regular, try reinstalling the game, deleting the Feral Heart folder completely.

If that doesn't work, and after you've installed it still doesn't work, change your rendering system in the options menu when the game starts by going to the video tab, you'll have to restart your game for it start.

If you're using FH+, delete it and get the regular version.

Post by: Kafei on August 29, 2012, 11:56:52 pm: I'm not sure if this will help, but when I make maps, I usually have to type the first name with a capitol, and then Terrain after it, with a capitol T. (EX.) 'ExampleTerrain'. I hope that helps anyone :)
