Alright, now I don't remember how I managed to get this working before when I made a map. I looked up videos on YouTube on how to make a terrain height map. It is 513x513 and greyscaled, I did it on photoshop. I saved it where I hope I was supposed too, unless things changed since I played last like a year or so ago.
Anyways, when I go to get the height map on Feral Heart it just crashes me every single time. Now the crashing ONLY happens when I am trying to get this height map on.
I saved it on my computer under
FeralHeart>media>terrians
Is that not where I am supposed to put it? I mean it is where my old map was too.
Did anything change since I last played? I am up for a redownload in case updates happened since I last played. Also it can't be my computer cause this is the same computer I made my previous map on that worked. Now every time I try things, it crashes.
I tried looking up other topics on the matter and nothing helped. Everything I try doesn't work, it still just crashes when I try to upload the height map.

Might sound a bit blunt, but I'm very confident it crashes only because you didn't make/save it correctly or at some point modified it.
The game hasn't changed in years, and when map maker/game crashes from loading a heightmap, it's most if not all the times from faulty made heightmap. I'd advice trying to use other heightmap images you know works, whenever you start a map in map maker it loads a picture called "default.png" from the terrains folder, so if map maker loads, so should anything else that's made correctly.
You should most likely re-make your heightmap or watch a video from start to end following what they're doing, like this one:

Your video was really helpful, Red. The only thing I changed that may have helped was keeping the image as background and locked. I didn't do that before when trying to work on the new image.
Also, you earned yourself a subscriber on YouTube. I want to be able to go back to your videos if I mess up again. Thanks for the help!!

No worries, it's those tiny details that make it or break it when getting the heightmap into your map maker.
Locking this thread as solved.
