Title: Game Crashes When Loading....
Post by: Soldier76 on May 18, 2016, 06:29:43 am
Alright, I haven't come across this problem before and I've just recently started making my own maps.

So when I decided to go and check out my map terrain to see what it looks like, as soon as I typed it in and hit enter- the game crashes.

So, I went back to check a few things.

1. It wasn't a .psd file that I mistakenly put there
2. I made sure it was saved as .png file

So, I'm stunted.

Can anyone help me figure this out?

It's most likely the hightmap. It can get pretty picky when it's not done right. Make sure it's 513x513 and in grayscale, otherwise they will not work and crash your game. Hope this helps floof! ^^

Adding to what the floofs said above, make sure that the height map image is flattened and that there is only one layer when you are completely done with it.

And if you're using GIMP, make sure there's no alpha channel! You can check for this by right clicking your flattened layer, if it says "Add Alpha Channel" you're fine, however if it says "Remove Alpha Channel", that's what you want to click.

Adding on, make sure its RGB when you do the 'mask' part. If the colour is off by one, it will not work no matter what you do before you change it into greyscale.
