Height map won't load! PLZ HELP!
« on: April 20, 2012, 10:27:09 pm »
So I used GIMP, made sure I had everything right (513x513, grayscale, ect.) and made a map. When I saved, I saved it as a PNG file, and the name DID say ___.png

BUT, when I went to download the height map, it said '___.png not found!' For the past day, I've been making millions of Height maps but NONE of them will load! Please help!

Also, if the problem still isn't solved, could one of the admins tak the file and make it a map and then give me the code?

For your height map to work, make sure it's all of the below;

PNG. (Sometimes JPEG., depending on your computer).
513x513
Greyscale
Onelayer
No Alpha Channel

When you save it, save it as MapnameTerrain.png

And when you enter it into the height map dialog box; write exactly the way it's saved.

Also be sure that the height map is saved into the map folder.

For instance, go into Mapmaker first. Save the map as whatever you're wanting to call it, (FranceMap) for example.

Then when you're saving the PNG. file, save it into FH>Media>Terrains>Mapname (For me, it'd be FranceMap).
