Maps?

[McKenzie]

OK so i have made a few maps before and they have all worked fine... i made this one map for a pack of mine and i wanted to make a winter version. I copied and pasted an image of my old Map terrain and made a new one out of it. I went to use it and every time FH shuts down as soon as i type in the file name. Does this have something to do with me copying and pasting the image to make a map. I no longer have access to the original map terrain so i don't know what to do. I use Gimp i have the newest version does anyone know what i should do to make this work or what the problem is...its not as complicated as some of my other terrains and takes up less space so i know thats not the problem. Anyone have any ideas/suggestions?

As long as the images follows all the standards for a heightmap it should still work even if you copy it and use it someplace else.

It does find the heightmap though it seems, otherwise it would've told you the differ.

If I were you I'd double check so everything is as it should with the actual heightmap.
-Png imag
-one layer only
-513 x 513
-grayscale

Just to see if you missed something or for some reason it were changed. If you see that everything is as it should, open up the image in gimp, make it a Jpeg image, save it, then open up the jpeg you just saved and then turn it back into a png, paste it into the FH folders and try to use that one instead. Still no luck, try to change the name aswell, and then load that one.

If still no luck I wouldn't be sure actually and I'm probably missing out on something that someone else probably knows about.

yes what red said is everything you need to look out for. However also make sure that when your writing in the terrain name on FH that you have spelt it right. It has to be spelt the same way otherwise it will also crash the game.

Lets just say you named your heightmap

you would have to write in FH
