Title: Height Map Issues
Post by: StarWarsWolf7 on January 28, 2013, 06:05:29 pm

Hello everyone! My friend has been having problems with a heightmap. He tried to load it in the map maker, and every time it would end up crashing his game. It was a 513 by 513 file, grayscale, and everything else a heightmap should be! I tried to load it myself and it ended up making feralheart stop working for me all together, as in I couldn't even get to the loading screen without fh shutting off on me ^^'. What's going on? And are we perhaps missing something that we need to check? Any help would be useful. Thank you!

Was the file PNG? I am not sure if it has to be PNG.....

Indeed it was! That's why we cannot figure out what's going on ^^;. It's not too big of a file either...

Make sure the alpha channel is turned off. Right click the layer and if you see "Turn off Alpha Channel" near the bottom then click it. You must also save the map to the folder with the same name you named the map as EX.) StarclanTerrain.   And yes it MUST end in Terrain.

EDIT: It must also only be one layer, if it is more than that, merge then together.
