Help with maps !
« on: November 23, 2012, 12:50:32 pm »
Alright so,

I looked up on youtube how to make heightmaps and such.
I did everything right and also made a terrain mask.
I can open up the mask in FH without any problems,
but when I try to open up the height, FH crashes.

Please help !

The images for the terrain mask and height map are probably a bit off. Make sure that they're both 513x513 in size, that they're both only one layer, and that the height map is set to grayscale, and the terrain mask is set to RGB colour.
It might also be a good idea to look at this thread: http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=1391.0

If the resolution above ^ Does not help, then your best bet is to re-do the HM and TM. Ensure both are 513x513 as DoctorFlob said, and also ensure you dont accidently click layers for the Height Map. Make sure the HM is .PNG as well as the TM, and both are saved in; C: > FeralHeart > Media > Terrains. A folder for your map will be automatically created once you first save it in the map maker. That should about do it.
