Stops Working During Map-Making
« on: August 07, 2011, 05:17:22 am »
So, I was playing around with making a map, so I went and made a height and terrain map and was going to see how they looked in the map maker.  I went ahead, made a nice little folder for it using the game, and put the height and terrain maps in it.  All fine and dandy, but, when I went to change the terrain map from the default to the new one nothing happened.  When I just clicked on the bar to change the height map, it freaked and said "Feral Heart has stopped working."  So I went and tried it all again, this time typing in the height map first.  It let me do that, but after I typed in the terrain map and clicked to do something else, the same error message popped up.  T.T Yesterday, I had to uninstall, delete, and reinstall because it was doing this but at a different point {after the credits}, so I pretty know how to fix it.  I'm not really worried about fixing it; I have already uninstalled and deleted and am about to reinstall it.  What I'm worried about is why this is happening.  Am I doing something wrong?  And I was. xD

~~~~~~~~~
Solved: It was completely a user error.  No need to have taken such measures as uninstalling and deleting. xD

Try making the map again cause sometimes if u click or use the wrong tool or option the whole thing can mess up.

Just remember
Height and width 513x513
Grayscale
resolution 72.000 X and Y

Save it as the exact name of the map, with Terrain at the end, then .png

e.g. WatermillTerrain.png

Hope this helps

T.T  Totally just realized exactly how dumb I can be:  I accidentally put the wrong filenames in the wrong spots. T.T  And I went into all that trouble because I can't seem to read. xD
