Can't use Height Map/ Mask!
« on: October 06, 2011, 10:45:58 pm »
I just made a height map and a mask to go with it in GIMP but the game says that it can't find it! The height map is 513x513, in greyscale, .png, in my terrains file. The mask is 513x513, in red yellow green, .png, and also saved to terrains.
HHHEEELLLPPP MMMEEE!!! :'(

For one your mask colors need to be red green blue.

I usually put my terrainmask and heightmap images inside the actual map folder. So if I made a map called "Derrplands", I put the images in the Derrplands folder inside terrains.

If that doesn't help, make sure you write the name correctly and that when you write the name inside the map maker fields. Don't forget to add .png afterwards.

Example:

If you did that I'm actually out of ideas right now.

It shouldn't be anything with the image itself cept the name if it says that it can't be found.

(On a side note: Though a terrainmask should be Red Green Blue and not yellow)

Maybe someone else know this one, cause I'm unsure. Have you made maps before that worked?
