Did you type the name right as in capital letters and lack thereof?
Also did you flatten image or layers? I don't know much about the flatten thing, but apparently if you don't, it can sometimes cause errors

[swiftkill0317]

yeah i did flatten it and all... and cpitalized it....and its 513 by 513

[Raphilion]

Hmm ok.. then I'm afraid I don't know what to say anymore XD Sorry I couldn't help you. Hopefully somebody else can

[swiftkill0317]

>.< thx anyway... i still wonder if i flattened it the right way... dont ask how ive forgoten cuz i made this map like 2 months ago...

Heightmaps have to be 513 x 513, .png, grayscale, only one layer and always one layer so flattening images won't work and no alpha channel.

[swiftkill0317]

alpha channel?

[SoulRevenge]

Make sure that when you earse it theres nothing transparent underneath it, also make sure there is no transparency right now.

[kaylaserket]

alpha channel?

In gimp, go to Layers then Transparency Then Remove Alpha Channel.

Right click on the layer (should be the only layer you have) and look towards the bottom. If you have the option to "remove alpha layer" then do it.
