Title: Unable to load Terrain.cfg file! [Please help me! q-q]
Post by: EmeraldDreams on July 28, 2012, 05:17:50 pm
Hey, I was wondering what could be wrong with the terrain file?  Whenever I try to load one of my maps in the map maker it gives me this problem.

Make sure it's in the right folder and your typing the file name right.

Make sure it's in the right folder and your typing the file name right. Also make sure you have the terrain mask as well.

I have two files in the folder that say (Map name here)terrain.  One is a cfg, the other is a material file.  For all of my maps, the ones that work and the ones that don't.

Yes, I do have terrain-masks for all my maps.  Those need to be in the "Terrain" folder, right?

Yes the masks need to be in the terrain folder also make sure it has the same name as the cfg file.

Wait.. Make sure what has the same name, the terrain-mask?

Make sure it's (name).cfg and (name).mask make sure they're the same name

Make sure it's (name).cfg and (name).mask make sure they're the same name

So then if my mask is named,
DFmask.png
and my .cfg file is named
Terrain.cfg
it won't work?

Sorry. >_< I'm a little slow.
Its just a little confusing because the maps that work don't have the same names between the terrain-mask and the terrain file.

Yes they must be the same like DF.cfg and DF.png, then it should work.

Does anyone have a solution?

I have a solution. Edit your terrain and make sure that the color mode you used was greyscale not color.

You mean my height mask?

Post by: Bloo. on July 29, 2012, 06:22:26 pm
Yes
The height map you made is the one in all greyscale colors. Your terrain mask is the one you made with colors. The height map should be in image mode greyscale

It is.

Did you save your terrain as (Terrainame).cfg? It sounded like the person from before was suggesting that.
If you did, save it as jpg or png, see which one of those works.
Title: Re: Unable to load Terrain.cfg file! [Please help me! q-q]
Post by: Bloo. on July 29, 2012, 07:13:03 pm
Should look like this. Say your map name is Starfall. You would save your height map as StarfallTerrain.png
Mask would be StarfallMask.png. Whatever you named your map in mapmaker should be the name you saved your terrain as.

I already changed the .cfg file to the name of this height map, it didn't work. :/
One of my maps fixed itself but the other one is still having this problem.

Also, I uploaded and update of one of my maps but I can't get into it without it saying "Feralheart.exe has stopped working!"
What am I doing so wrong? e.e  The first version of this map worked but Iv'e run into nothing but problems with the update.

Check for double particles. I trust you know where that is. Double particles should look like this (ex.) water_0  or water_1 If you have particles that look like that delete them. This will probably fix your updated map. As for the other one, what do you mean you changed the .cgf file. What cgf file?

I don't have any duplicates anywhere. >-<

I changed the terrain.cfg file to the heightmask name.  That's what I was told to do. owo

I never said you didn't know what you are talking about, I asked you to explain it to me so I can fix my problem.  I didn't ask for candy,  I asked for help.

Guys, calm down. There shouldn't be an argument over this. Since i think no one can help you (not meaning that you're unhelpable) try PMing a mod and they should be able to help you out.
