Title: Feral Heart Mask Issues
Post by: Basevi on May 16, 2015, 07:27:23 pm
EDIT: Whenever I go to the cape, and enter the map with a character, the mask doesn't even work then! ???!!!

So, I have been making map terrains for a while and map masks that go with them, and I have NEVER had a problem until now!...

When I load it into the map, the mask works fine, except...

That happens! Like, what the heck? The right colors are Red, Blue and Green, and I did them.

If you look at the map editing gui to the side, you'll see that I have a specific texture set for it, but it stays black anyways ..
No matter what texture I use for it, it seems that it will not work.

Here is what my mask looks like. Ignore the signature, it is not part of the mask.
I used Paint Tool Sai to draw it, and it worked fine. Is there any issues with the mask?

Here is another picture of the blackness.

The first two are Blue and Green, yeah? Unless it is in the order of Red Green Blue [RGB]

Does anyone know what is happening with my feral heart? With my mask? I really do not understand.

The name of your mask may have something to do with it? Sometimes when you set it a certain name it may glitch up. I had one called Ice and it didn't have any other textures besides the terrain of ice. It may also be the size and whatnot. You say you've made maps for a long time so you probably already know to set the image to RBG, 513x513, etc. I can't think of much else though...hope this helped!

This happened to me once! If you've saved that map, I think you'll have to delete it and restart. I don't know what causes that, but it happened to me and that's what I ended up doing... restarting the map. If restarting it as a new map doesn't fix it, I have no further suggestions.

Ah, you have used spaces in naming the mask! That is always a tricky situation if you named it with a space. Feral Heart will not accept it if you do that. If you rename it and restart your Feral Heart window that should fix it.  :D

Also, make sure you compress it. It can only be one layer. Even if you've exported it Feral Heart reads it with multiple layers. This will also give it the glitches.

Good luck with the map making floof!
