Title: Map Help Please o3o
Post by: Kaidem on July 10, 2012, 03:28:55 am
I got gimp and made a few height maps.  I put them into the FH terrains and when I went to the mapmaker to open them, it only showed the height map at the top left, but the land remained flat and unchanged.  I could only view it when I logged in and went into it's portal after I exported it.  Even after I tried relogging, it still wouldn't show.  And when I went into the map I was way off and spawned away, and the terrains was far too raised for me to get up..
So first of all- how can I change the portal position?
And mostly, how do I fix this problem so I can view it in the editor?

Try putting them into the map folders manually. For instance, you'd go into Map maker and create "KaiIsland", save it.

Close out, go to FH>Media>Terrains>KaiIsland That last file location is a place to stick height maps.

Also, keep in mind should be;
513x513
one layer
greyscale
no alpha channel
png

Though I think /all/ this could be fixed with a reinstall. Sounds like a map maker file is missing from terrains.

Ah- alright..
And I did all of that except for no Alpha channel, so maybe that would be the problem.  -3-
Now to figure out how to move the portal e.e
Or I'll get a reinstall.. Eh.
