Title: Height Map problem |D
Post by: _nightingale_ on March 08, 2014, 07:41:06 pm
Yeah I did just post another problem earlier but it doesn't have to do with this so...

Anyway, my issue is that whenever I am trying to load in my new height map I made, Fh crashes :c , the file size is 58kb, which is smaller than the other maps I've loaded before so I have no idea why this won't work... the color map loads in fine, it is only the height map that is the issue.

If anyone could help that would be awesome, thank you. <3

Make sure the file is in grayscale, aswell as being 513x513. If you ever used layer while making the map, try flattening the image.

What program are you using for the height map? Programs like SAI and Paint don't have a greyscale option, therefor it may not work.
Also, make sure the map is 513 x 513 and saved as a .png file! If it's not the game will crash.
Lastly, the layers (if you used them) must be merged.

Also, make sure you followed everything here: Click me (http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=6&Itemid=11)

Mocha, you beat me! |D

Ah yus, programs like SAI don't have the 'greyscale' and 'RBG' color options needed for maps. I use Photoshop for maps of FH because of that. You could set the file to greyscale on PS and save it as the photoshop file and then open it with SAI because SAI can open Photoshop's files. I do that a lot.

Good luck with your map! <3
