Title: Height map issues
Post by: blackdagger on November 21, 2012, 06:31:46 pm

Hello,

I made I height map but whenever I try to use it my game crashes... The map is grey scale, 513x513 and a png file. When I was making it I used more than one layer but I merged them so that shouldn't be the problem, right? Please help!

Merging might not be enough, make sure you actually flatten the layer as well and check so you aren't using alpha channels if you are using gimp.

Should say "Background" on the layer itself in PS, and if using Gimp it should say "Background" with bold text.
