Title: Map Maker doesn't like my new heightmap. :B (solved)
Post by: wolfgirl2 on October 21, 2012, 01:31:33 pm

Welp, I just finished making my 2nd heightmap in Photoshop, put the .png picture in the Terrains folder, opened up mapmaker and typed the name of the heightmap (DiamondValley.png) into the heightmap thingy in Map Maker, and when I press 'enter', My feralheart crashes. Help?

Is it 513 by 513? Plus are you on Grayscale, and are all your colors gray?

For your terrain [Greyscale map] you need to name it DiamondValleyTerrain.png. Hope this helps. ~

Sometimes if you make the Heightmap 'yourself', it refuses to work.

Usually, I take the watermill heightmap, edit it, and save it as another file. However, if I make my own or edit a heightmap that was not orginally Watermill, it doesn't work!


Try copy-pasting your image into 'watermillterrain.jpg', then saving it as another file.

Of course, make sure it's the usual 'Grayscale, 513x513, etc. .'
