It needs to be:

513x513
.png
one layer the WHOLE time/flattened
greyscale MODE

You need to have a program such as GIMP (free) or Photoshop to be able to use the tools/options Ringo has stated.

I only know sumo paint. I try to flatten the image to see if it works

Nothing is working.  :( ??? :'( T_T Any thing else that's the problem? It's 513x513, .png , one layer the whole time and I flattened it a bunch also, it's in grayscale too, so Idk what's wrong.

I don't think Sumo Paint has that Grayscale option, if that option isn't there then it won't work. Removing the colour with some colour filter will not work. If there is no grayscale option then that's the reason your heightmap is crashing your game.

You mean I can't just use the color picker and only use shades of gray?  :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o ???

No. that will not work. You need an art program like GIMP in which you actually set the picture to "greyscale mode."

In the new Photoshop, where would I find grayscale mode?

Hm... While I'm not very familiar with Photoshop, there should be an "Image" option somewhere in your main toolbar. Click this, and within that you should be looking for a "Mode" option. This should allow you to change your mode to grayscale.

I hope this helps!

Ok, I got my terrain map in grayscale, I got my terrainmask in RPG colors, they're both .png, they're both 513x513, but nothing is working! FH still crashes when I try to put the terrain map in. Maybe i'm not mean't to make maps. -sigh-

Nonsense, floofie. We'll get this figured out for ya. <3

At this rate, I would try making a very simple heightmap as a kind of 'tester' (just have a black heightmap with some basic hills, and not much else).
Do the same with a mask (in RBG mode), as well.
Sometimes if a map is too detailed, the game won't want to render it right away. So, test out these basic images. If they work, then try your current heightmap again.

However, if even the testers don't work, I would suggest uninstalling, then reinstalling FH. There could be some corrupt files hanging around that are causing you to crash. The reinstall should fix the issue.

If not, let us know, and we'll try something else. c:

I'm using Photoshop Elements. Go File>> New or CTRL and N to make a new window.

Make sure your settings match up to mine then you can start making your heightmap :)

I make my own height map Terrains and what you should do it download Gimp, completely free download and program. make sure that the width and height are 513x513. then go to advanced settings and make it a greyscale. don't forget to save the file as .png
