Title: Map Maker Crash
Post by: Shadowraix on July 31, 2012, 05:30:44 pm

I recently tried making a height map and oddly enough FeralHeart crashed. I never had this problem before. My height map is in greyscale, it is 513x513 and it's a .png file. File size is 77KB. The height map is located in the terrains folder. Any possible things i could have missed that could have caused the crash?

Is is named Ex.)))  "MapnameTerrain".png ? It also has to be the same name as the one you put down in map maker.

Does Terrain have to go at the end? When i used to make maps i never had to do that.

Yes it does, like the example exactly. "MapnameTerrain.png"         The 't' in terrain MUST be capitilized as well.

Nope. I can't find 1 thing i've done wrong. I've even made my map the same method in that tutorial except i'm using Photoshop CS6.

And you overwrote the terrain file with 512x512 instead of 513x513?

Title: Re: Map Maker Crash
Post by: Shadowraix on July 31, 2012, 06:52:14 pm

Yep. Doesn't matter if it's 512x512 or 513x513 it STILL crashes.

I'm sorry D: And you're positive its in greyscale with one layer, and that the name (mapnameTerrain) is the same as the one you put in in mapmaker?

Title: Re: Map Maker Crash
Post by: Shadowraix on July 31, 2012, 06:56:54 pm

Positive. I've checked this multiple times.

Make sure you try what Ouka said. Flattening the image might work as well, people always forget to flatten.
