Title: Wasting My Maps?
Post by: Soupy on August 18, 2012, 09:21:26 pm

I make my own maps and everything, I hate asking for help on them. My one issue, My only issue. The maps I create don't want to work. I tested by taking a free map off the internet and posted it and it accepted it, but for some reason when I try to post a map from my own paint, it'll sit there and then it crashes. I'm getting sick of this happening because I don't like asking others to make maps for me. I'm finally getting better at it and I finally understand.

Someone, help me!

Well, you may want to download Gimp. Paint isn't the best for making maps. The image needs to be 513x513 and grayscaled.

Your problem is that you use ms paint. Your image must be in greyscale mode, and ms paint does not support this option. Uae GIMP.

Use GIMP and heightmaps have to be 513 x 513, grayscale, .png, ONE layer (and always one layer, flattening/merging layers won't work), no alpha channel. If you still can't get it to work and you have a heightmap already made, you can send it to me by email and I can get it to work and send it back to you.
