When you make a Height map you must save it into the C:/FeralHeart/media/terrains

The HeightMap must be:

-513x513
-Png File
-GrayScale
-If using Gimp Make sure on the layer that there is no Alpha Channel on it


Type it in exactly as u saved it, and make sure that if u didnt do one of the steps and u edit the heightmap that u restart FeralHeart so it reads it properly

Yeah it's all right. It's 513x513 and all the things I need. The game knows it's there and tries to get it but crashes while doing so. But maybe it's not in grayscale...since I used SAI painter to draw it, it didn't give me the option to do grayscale so I just drew in gray...hmm.

It needs to be used/have:
-Paint or Pencil
-GIMP or Photoshop
-513X513 or some square formula.
-Greyscale (Set to. NOT just in grey)
- .png
- 1 layer

Mine does that too, and I've tried over and over. Everything's right (I've checked and double-checked). It's greyscale, saved as .png, and single-layer. And yet it still crashes....
Could it have anything to do with the version of FH I have? I have the normal, not the plus or the Torrent or anything.

Having this issue too. Theres a obvious issues with the map maker and I was wondering if there was a way to fix them.

Common errors I've had:

*After exporting a map, Feral Heart fails to even reach the KovuWorks image before crashing (fixed by re-installing but annoying)
*Missing .cfg files on old maps (Not sure how to fix this)
*Height map failures when heightmap image is set up correctly (i.e. It's 513x513, png, made with Gimp, one layer, is greyscale)(Sometimes redrawing doesn't fix this and neither does lowering the white shades to slightly darker shades)

(Example of my heightmap image that doesn't work:)
