HELP?
« on: April 20, 2013, 12:37:49 am »
I need some help making a map... I go to MS Paint, and I make my map, and then I save it under Desktop> Feral Heart (Custom made folder). So then I go to Map Maker, and I type in the name, and it says "Cannot find Map2.png!" What should I do?

You can't make a height map with MS Paint. Feral Heart just doesn't allow it.
Also, I don't think you should put it where you are putting it.

Just go to your Start button and go to Computer>Compaq(C:)>FeralHeart>Exports and put the height map file there. c:

EDIT: Forgot to mention that Gimp is a free program that Feral Heart is compatible with. Here's the link to the download: http://www.gimp.org/downloads/

Photoshop is also a program I know that can be used to make Feral Heart height maps.

Just so if you didn't know, the height map image needs to be a .png file and needs to be exactly 513x513 pixels.
It also needs to be set to gray scale, or Feral Heart will crash.
Hope this helps you, floof! c:

As BouncyLion said you really should download GIMP - it's a fairly easy program to use and it makes map and preset work so much easier to do - c:

If you're new at making maps check out these links (these tutorials use GIMP and can make it easier for you to get familiar with that program):

Good luck! // Shallow
