Well, checking "has portal" does not seem to do anything noticable at all really. Maybe it is changing the location at the Cape of Distant Worlds, I didn't notice. Reaching my place isn't a problem so far, it is just getting back to CoDW that is the problem. Also, I tried to make a portal using "New Gate" under "objects". However, what format does the gate destination need to be in? File name only? File location? If I need the file location, then how do I get around the problem of not having enough characters?
Also, from this comment, you seem to be implying that there is no way to get around photoshop or gimp? I have the default "paint" program, is that good enough, or are there necessary options in photoshop and gimp that make anything else out of the question?
Does the old Paint Program allow grayscale?
The reason why people suggest using Gimp or Photoshop is the fact that it allows grayscale images as well as transparent ones.
For a basic heightmap it'd have to be in grayscale. Thats why the colors are all blacks, grays and whites ect. FH will crash if its not a grayscale.
If Paint can change its color mode from RGB to Grayscale then you can use it. If it can't then FH won't load it.
I will look into it. Thank you very much for this information. However, as I mentioned before, I still need to practice with other aspects of map making first, so I will get to this much later.
