My height map won't work :I
« on: January 24, 2013, 11:03:40 am »
It crashed at first, so I flattened it and now it just keeps saying that FH isn't responding. Help?

-grayscale
-no alpha layer
-only one layer
-spelled like "MapNameTerrain"

Make sure it's saved (or if you use GIMP, export it) in your map's folder located in your Terrains folder also :)

Apparently after typing in the map name in the World tab, pressing enter will make you crash...

That will only happen if the terrain you created was made incorrectly.


Make sure it is:

-513x513
-grayscale
-no alpha layer
-only one layer
-spelled like "MapNameTerrain"



Make sure it's saved (or if you use GIMP, export it) in your map's folder located in your Terrains folder also :)


^ Follow those little helpful hints and it shouldn't crash ;)

You right click the layer and if it says remove alpha channel at the bottom then click it.
