Height map driving me up the gosh dang wall

[Kreo45]

here's my height map -- made entirely in SAI, edited to be entirely in grey scale, removed alpha channel, 513x513, made only with the Airbrush, Pen and Select tools! I tried vectorizing it, it was made on one layer, everything! what am i doing wrong? its called LegacyTerrain.png for a map called Legacy, in the Legacy map folder. Man, im on the end of my rope... is there anything I can do?

this is a screenshot, btw, pm me for the actual file?

[Whoa, that's a boss map. You're amazing.]

Last time I checked, SAI isn't compatible with making height maps. You need to have GIMP or Photoshop. It doesn't work any other way, sorry floof. Maybe save it then open the same image in GIMP and save it again?

in the Legacy map folder.

this is one of your problems. you must put it in media>terrains, not your map's folder.

next, you need to make a grayscale in either GIMP or PS. i personally use SAI and it does not have a grayscale option. then just copy/paste your image into the grayscale.

hmm... I did as you said, but its still not working? it was originally made in a higher DPI than usual, would that make a difference? the file itself is 132 kilobytes. Here, you can download the before and after - i remade the map and renamed the terrain, but still no dice. If you can get it to work, you can use it yourself as well :0 alsoniceicongoodchoicebestfreelancer
