Height Map causes a crash? Please help me!

[feliciathewolf]

OK so for a while now I've been trying to make a map but every time I put the name of the height map it crashes! I put the mask in before first just to see if it would work and it did perfectly fine until I put the height map in then it crashed again! I tried every thing I could think of but it just wont work! It does that for other maps I've tried to make lately to! PLEASE HELP ME!!

is it 513x513, grayscale and one layer? and making the heightmap again works too just don't give it the same name as the one your remaking

[feliciathewolf]

Yes it's the right size and renaming it doesn't fix it either and it's also in gray scale

[Silverwing600]

omg, the same thing keeps happening to me!

[feliciathewolf]

I know it's just so annoying I just reinstalled Feral Heart and I'm about to see if that fixed it because I realized that I might have had a problem installing it the first time.

Yes, it has been happening to me as well. I need to get this map done for my history project, trying to make a medieval castle. :S

[feliciathewolf]

Reinstalling didn't help at all. I really hope this gets solved soon!
@Kieva sounds like fun! I hope you get to get it done.

Check these....

Heightmap

-513x513
-Greyscale mode (Very important)
-Saved in the Terrains folder try in your maps folder
-Saved as a .png format (Also very important)
-Try saving as MAPNAMETerrains.png

Mask

-513x513
-RGB mode (Very important)
-Use ONLY pure red, pure green, pure blue
-Saved in same folder as the heightmap
-Saved as .png (Very important)
-Try saving as MAPNAMEMask.png

If you use GIMP and you ever get the message "GIMP can not handle .jpg or .png" (Or something like that) and you get the options "Export" "Ignore" and "Cancel" Choose Export then Load Defaults.

Aha! Found the problem, nevermind. <3 My heightmap was 512 x 512 instead of 513 x 513. Thanks everyone!

OK so I just realized that when I try to put my terrain and mask into it's own folder it will find the mask but not the terrain so I left the mask were it was and put the terrain back into the terrains folder like it was before and then it crashes when I try to get it into the game... Any ideas?
