I Need Help: Crashing?! (FIXED, I FIGURED IT OUT!)
« on: August 03, 2014, 06:48:19 am »
Okay, I am having a problem with making a map on FeralHeart. So I know how to make a map and all, and how to save it correctly, but it keeps crashing!

Details:

When I open Map Maker>>World and type in (my maps name).png, I click else where and it crashes instead of loading the map. The message says: Feralheart.exe has stopped working. I have made two separate maps now, and it keeps crashing! I have been following a tutorial, and I do everything right. I am using GIMP, and the steps I do are:

Size map(513x513)>>Switch Mode to Grayscale>>Make Map>>Export>>PNG>>Name Map>>Save.

I save it under:

OS C:>>FeralHeart>>media>>terrain

I am using a Windows 7 PC

I would really appreciate any solutions to this problem!

Check and make sure the heightmap image matches these:

- One layer only.
- Has the Alpha Channel switched off.
- The image name is [mapname]Terrain.png

If that doesn't work try switching the image from Greyscale to RGB and back again to Greyscale.

You say you save the map terrain, at the terrain folder, right?
You need to save it at FeralHeart>>media>>terrains>>WaterMill.
After that, you need to close all the tabs and press FeralHeart.exe
After that, you enter the map maker and stuff and press on the World.
Then, you need to delete the writing of the map terrain, to this~
{YourMapName}Terrain.png
Then click save or open. I cannot say for sure, do to me leaving the game. :P

Anyways. If you need further help, simply post here or Private Message me for further information of the Map Making.
I can help you, because before I left the game, I made loads of maps, so I know what to do. ;)

Good Luck, my friend! ^.^

Did you make sure the image size is even on both sides? (Ex. 513 x 513) If it's not a square then I'm afraid you'll have to remake the map.
