Title: Mapmaker Help, please?
Post by: VengeFox on December 09, 2012, 05:39:06 pm

Hello! Thank you for reading, and I would really appreciate it if you could help!  :D

There is a problem with Map Maker for me. For some reason, the game crashes every time I enter a height map into the box.

I don't know why... I think I saved it in the right spot.
Is this it?: Local Disk (C:) > FeralHeart > Media > Terrains

Please help!  :-[

Make sure it's 513x513 and that it's greyscaled.
I think people have mentioned the name having to end with "Terrain" but I'm not sure of this.

I've experienced that if you do not follow the tutorial fully, as in, if you don't copy the existing terrain file and re-name it.. You'll have issues.

another thing if you have gimp like ressy said to me before i think to flatten the image and make sure all access layers are deleted, and of course grayscale and 513x513 pixels. you can also size it down to 512x512 i dont work with photoshop much so im not sure what you would do there.

I use Photoshop. Make sure it's saved as a PNG file, and 513x513 pixels grayscale. Image must be flattened.

Try restarting your computer, if you haven't in a while.

Map must be:

-grayscale
-513x512
-no alpha channel
-only one layer (if there's more than one then just merge them)
-saved as .png
-name must end in Terrain EX) WillowclanTerrain.png
