Map Problem!!
« on: August 15, 2012, 03:29:07 am »
Hi!! I really need help. Ok so I'm making a new map, and when I try to put in the height map it says "FeralHeart.exe has stopped working." I tried it 2 times. I also want to know if anyone else has this problem. If so, please tell! I think it might be my computer. It has alot of crap. o3o I want to show you a list of exactly what I did.

-I opened GIMP 2 to make the height map. I did a 513x513 grayscale.
-I made the map.
-I made a new folder and a new map to put it in.
-I put it in the folder and opened up FeralHeart.
-I went to Map Maker and went to World then I put in the picture name. (I had it on .png too)
-A pop up showed and it said "FeralHeart.exe has stopped working. Windows is looking for a solution for this problem." So I closed it and tried again. It said the same thing.
Please help!

Make sure your map has nu Alpha Channel or any transparancy of that sort.
Also, did you remember to put your map into the FeralHeart folder, rather than just a new folder at a random place?

And usually when I make a map on my own, it 'stops working'', so I simply open my map back up in GIMP, all while having the Watermill terrain open- and then I just copy-paste it over.
Afterwards, I just simply 'save as' (and Flatten the layers) another terrain, like 'larryTerrain.png' into the 'terrains' folder.

Well, I was follow a tutorial. I did delete the Alpha channel and I saved it in the "Terrains" Folder. Also I will try what you do after school :3 Thanks!
