Heightmap not working?
« on: May 23, 2012, 08:18:57 pm »
I used to make maps with my computer but since it's not working i decided to make a map with my laptop.

And i always start with the heightmap so i opened gimp drew up my heightmap and saved it as a .png in terrains.

But when i wen into map maker and typed in the file name the game crashed. I haven't made a map in quite some time but i have never experienced this problem and i really want to fix it.

Please help me resolve this issue >.<

If using GIMP follow these guidelines

513x513
PNG
One layer
Greyscale
No Alpha Channel (Can be cleared out in layers option by right clicking your height map layer).

Also go ahead and create your map in FH. For instance, go into map maker and save the name of what you will be calling it.

Then you can save your PNG file into FH>Media>Terrains>(Your Map Name) In its folder. Will generally help along process.
