Mapping help?

[Acarmica]

Not sure if this belongs here >.>

I am having trouble with mapping. You see, the "media" file won't open for me. Is it meant to be a folder? if it is, it's showing up as a file...

I need to save something in it but I can't. So i have a height map for the map maker, but i can't save in into Media > Terrains. What do I do?

If I understand correctly, this is the media folder:


Drag your mouse over the file/folder and tell us what type of file it is. It shouldn't be showing up as just a file. Also, try right clicking on it and go to properties if just dragging doesn't work.
Also, what does the file look like? Is it a blank piece of paper or something else? Are you the administrator of your PC? Maybe try opening the file with notepad. It could be corrupted.

It's a blank piece of paper, and it says it's a file, not a file folder. And i'm not sure if i am the admin or not, but i certainly use it the most. And why do i have to open it with notepad?

Just to see what kind of file it is. But if it's just a "file," it's most likely to just come up as gibberish in notepad. c: I'd recommend reinstalling FH. Save all presets, maps, etc somewhere other then FH (if you can get to them). I'm pretty sure that media folder is corrupted some how. Do you know if any other folders show up like that on your PC?

No other folders show up like that apart from the other FH files/folders. And i can't reinstall it, because it took my dad a hella lot of work to install it and get it working on this computer. If it helps, i have the latest Asus laptop with a touchscreen.
