Map Crash

[Okami-Shiranui]

I made a height map. It was 513 by 513, greyscale, and saved in PNG and terrains.

I tried to open it, but it crashed. I re-made the map and followed a tutorial.

It still crashed.

Am I doing something wrong?

That seems IMPOSSIBLE Did you do it in GIMP? Because Photoshop isn't always the best....

[Okami-Shiranui]

I did it in Photoshop. I don't have GIMP.

Also, I followed the "How to fix ingame crashes" tutorial and it STILL crashes.

Sometimes it depends on what software you use. Personally, for map making, I use GIMP and everything works fine. I originally used another program, but like you, it would always crash. But now that I have GIMP, things seem to be working fine.

I do all my maps in Photoshop and it works perfectly fine.  find Gimp confusing personally.

However with Photoshop you have to flatten all the layers in order for it to work sometimes. It's at the bottom of the Layer tabs c: Atleast for CS5 anyways.

I use one layer for maps. :3  I tried just a very simple terrain with literally one mountain and it's still crashing. GIMP doesn't want to work on my computer either.

[ZombieKitteh]

Yes even if you only use one layer, you still need to flatten it sometimes. One layer or not, that's just the way it is. x3

Oh? Hm... I will try flattening it.
