Title: Heightmap wont work!
Post by: Wolflover224 on January 17, 2016, 09:05:41 pm

I created a heightmap on Paint Tool SAI, and I converted it to grayscale in gimp. I saved it as a .png, and the width and height are both 513. However, when I type in the name, it crashed Feral Heart. I need to make a map for a group, but I can't because it won't work.
Help?

Make sure there was no alpha channel. If there was remove it.

I recommend using GIMP.

Make sure that when you convert to greyscale, it actually says that it's in a greyscale format at the top of the image. Simply making everything grey won't work

I did actually convert it to grayscale, and I do not know what an alpha channel is.
I just used SAI for some small details since GIMP's zoom tool is hard to control. Everything is now in GIMP, but it still crashes.

To remove alpha channel, you go to layers > transparency > remove alpha channel. Hope it works!
