Height Map Help?
« on: January 13, 2013, 10:43:10 pm »
Okay, I have made my height map how I want it. I have exported it and put it into the terrain folder. Now when ever I go into map maker, to shuts down my FH. At first it just plain crashed, now it stops responding. I used GIMP, and followed everything that the video tut I watched said. I made sure it was only one layer, all on the background layer. I made sure that it said Add Alpha channel, and when i exported it, I made sure it was .png. Now I have no idea what I did wrong. If anyone can help me, please!

I tried what that said. None of it worked. So now, I'm just going to remake the whole map, double checking everything before I start working on it.

Make it 513x513 instead and try it. Nothing else works for me that I know of.

I set it to 513x513, and tried again, with my new one I made. And it still isn't working. 

Its greyscale.

I've had issues with this before--

Something that helped this, and I dunno why it did, was opening the orginal "Water Mill Height Map", copy-pasting the other height map created by yourself into the "Water Mill", and then just "Saving as" for that-- of course, you didn't "Save as" under "watermillterain.png", but instead you changed the "watermillterrain" to something of your choice--

And no, "terrain" is actually /not/ required at the end of a height map's terrain file title ono.
