Title: Map maker help ||SOLVED||
Post by: Necropossum on August 12, 2014, 08:37:05 pm

Soooo me and my friend were trying to make a map and since I never have made one she was helping me and we got the texture and the grayscale height map part things done and I went to put them into the map maker and I typed in the name of the terrain/ height map and Feral-heart crashed so My friend was like "Maybe it wasn't actually grayscale." so we went back and copied it and pasted it into an actual grayscale image and recolored it with the grays and saved it as forestterrain.png like we had before and put it into the terrain folder. Then we tried again in the map make and the Texture worked just fine but the terrain  crashed the game. We did make the grayscale height map 513x513 like it says to so i have no clue what's wrong with it XD We even renamed it three times from ForestTerrain.png to forestTerrain.png and then to forestterrain.png XD I don't know what's wrong with it unless it has something to do with the similar names of the texture 'cause the texture is named ForestTex.png ... so can anyone help XD

Also make sure that it has NO transparency and only has one layer, since if it has transparency or two+ layers it will crash the game as well. Hope this helps!

I don't think it had any transparency or  double layers as we colored it on a white layer and when we copied it we merged it with the white layer on that. But I dunno it might I'm not a computer whiz XD

Ah, that's what I use, so I suggest going to the layer tab at the top of it, clicking/hovering over it, then go to transparency and if you can click "Remove Alpha Channel", click that and save it again. Otherwise sometimes I go and copy and paste it into Paint and save it there.
