so um everytime i try to use my own map terrain my entire game just kinda stops working.
like almost instantly.
it only does this for the ones i make, not the ones i have downloaded.
its getting irritating because i cant test out my terrains and whatnot. please help?

What program are you using to make the terrains? You need a program that has a "Greyscale" option, such as GIMP (http://gimp.org) or Photoshop. Simply using greys, blacks and whites won't work.
Make sure:
- Your map is either 513x513 or 512x512
- Only one layer
- There's no transparency
- It's saved in .png format
- Saved as NAMETerrain.png and is located in your Terrains folder, preferably the map folder
- No alpha channel
- In Greyscale
There's a GIMP tutorial here (http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=18937.0) for making heightmaps, which you may find helpful.
Hope you find this helpful, if not just let me know :)

im currently using gimp.
i tried moving it all to one layer and adding Terrain to the end of it - everything else was fine - but it still didnt work.
ill make sure to check out that tutorial, though!

In the Advanced Options of when you create a new image, does the "Fill With:" box have "Background colour"selected? I know it tends to crash Feralheart if it's on Transparency.
Anyway, check out the tutorial. Hopefully you should be able to solve the issue soon!
