Map Maker Problems

[ShadowFang01]

When I go into Map Maker, I keep having trouble loading a terrain. I don't know why this is happening, I do what you're suppost do. (Used gimp to make a grayscale terrain.png and a RGB Mask.png; put them in feral heart/media/terrains; then go to map maker) When I go to map maker, I can load Water Mill fine, but when I try to load a new terrain I've made, the game freezes and shuts down. It doesn't do this when I load a new mask or old terrains/masks.

What do I do to fix this? Or is it the game itself since others are having similar problems?

Make sure ur heightmap is

png image
grayscale
513x513
NO ALPHA CHANNEL


Mask is a seperate file btw, make sure u dont save over top ur Heightmap, also try not to load it over top of watermill, no need to load it, u can just type in ur heightmap and itll adjust the terrain for you.

I don't know what an alpha channel is. I do make them, 1 layer, png images and i do make them separate. What's happening is when I go to map maker and type in the mask map, it's fine. But when I type in the terrain/height map, the game freezes and shuts off.

Thats because theres a issue with the heightmap, if you right click on the image layer (if ur using gimp not sure where it is or same procedure perhaps for photoshop) remove alpha channel. On gimp itll say that exactly, then save it and test it again

How do I turn the alpha channel off? I don't even know what it is or how it was turned on.

Ouuka told you how to do it if you have GIMP. I am not sure you can do it with Photoshop unless you have full version.

Okay, found it.
