Make sure your terrain is:

- 513x513
- In .png format
- Greyscale mode
- Saved in your map's folder, located in your Terrains folder
- One layer only
- No alpha channel

[Ingredient]

What program are you using to make the terrain? Is this your first time making one?

[sonicTH1554]

Try using Gimp, that may help a bit more. And once you get on there I can explain in detail or even Livestream an example for you!

[Ingredient]

Paint will not work since it only uses RGB mode, you need Greyscale to make terrains. No idea how you've managed to make terrains with Paint before.

I would strongly recommend using a program such as GIMP, don't worry it's free www.gimp.org

When you've finished downloading that program and installed it, try following these tutorials

If you downloaded the newest version of GIMP you have to Export the image as .png. "Save as" will not make the format .png with the newest GIMP version.
