Title: Map Making - Game Can't Find Height Map/Terrian Mask
Post by: LightmeetsDark on November 18, 2013, 11:39:29 pm

Hi,

I've been attempting to make my own custom map using video tutorials and according to those videos I've been doing everything correctly; however, when going in-game on the Map Maker tool the game says it cannot find the Height Map or Terrian Mask.  I've been using GIMP; saved it as 513 x 513 pixels as a .png file in the Media >> Terrain file.  It still can't find it.  Is there something I've been doing wrong? 

I have checked my spelling, capitalization and so on and it's all correct.     


Thank you!

Hmm...Did you save the terrain file as [yourmapname]Terrain.png? Also, the HeightMap MUST be in grayscale, otherwise your going to have problems, and when saving as a png in GIMP, say Flatten Image, don't click Merge Visible Layers otherwise FeralHeart will have a hard time with the map. Hope this helped, let me know if it didn't and I'll see if I can further help you on this matter ;)
