Title: Map maker crashes
Post by: Chunky_Squirrel on June 03, 2018, 07:04:30 am: Okay so, I made the terrain in grayscale 513 x 513, made the mask as well, RGB color 513 x 513, when I type it in, everything works lovely, but when I try to correct the Height from 300 (original) to 11300 or 1300 and try to turn around, the game instantly crashes! WTF?!

P.S. I made the width 115000 and it crashed too....

No, I remember how to make maps and I even watched a video just in case, but it still crashes.. So Idk.. :/

I'm unsure if I am correct but I try to avoid making large maps because they require a lot of time for the game to load it up and can just crash because too many assets. This could be why the game is crashing, at least that is what I think.

Alrighty, I'll keep that in mind, thank you!

I completely forgot about the alpha channel, heh, thanks for the reminder! But the thing is, it didn't crash UNTIL I typed in the Width and Height and then tried to look around, then it crashed, so I don't think it's that problem. I'll see if that happens with much smaller numbers of Width and Height!

I'll try that, thanks.

I'll return if I have any other problems!

Post by: Chunky_Squirrel on June 04, 2018, 06:07:37 pm: The map is working only with the new design, the previous design that I liked better sadly doesn't, even after the alphachannel is turned off and everything is in their right order... :/
