Height Map Issue [SOLVED]
« on: September 04, 2012, 04:35:12 pm »
Hello. :3

I was working on a map for my RP- I've made 3 beautiful height maps. However, when I load them into the game, it says the game can't find them, but I've made sure that I spelled the name right. Anybody know how to fix this? The problem only occurs when I make a new height map- the old ones work properly.

Where did you save it? What file type is it? Was it 513x513 pixels? If you did the map in Photoshop, sometimes that can be the reason. Try restarting your computer.

I think they might not have been 513 by 513, as I was making a template for a different website. They were all .png files, and were saved in Feralheart > Media > Terrains. I'd also used GIMP- however, since I turned my comp off for night/school, it may work now that it has restarted. <3 I hope it does, as one of the height maps I love.

EDIT: I looked in my Terrains folder, the pictures went poofie o3o but the game's working now, at least. Thanks for trying to help! ;3

Height maps should be

513x513
one layer
greyscale
png file
no alpha channel (can be changed in layer menu of gimp)

xD I had everything correct, my comp just bugged and showed them being their, though they actually weren't. Either way, thanks, both of you, for trying to help! <3
