Some height map problems...

[nubeees]

So, I'm sorry if this is in the wrong thread, but I made a height map, can't find anything wrong with it... But whenever I try to load it up in-game, feralheart stops working...

Here is the height map, all help is appreciated.

Please make sure that the map file name is something like mapnameTerrain.png. I used to have this issue a lot, and make sure you used only 1 layer when making the height map. If you used multiple of them you can easily flatten the image. Also, make sure you saved it in the correct area. (FeralHeart >> Media >> Terrain)

Hope this helped.

See if this'll shed some light:

If you keep trying to type the heightmap into the mapmaker, it may crash if certain things weren't done correctly such as:
~513x513
~grayscale
~no alpha channel
~only one layer
~named "mapnameTerrain"

Sometimes if the greyscale is complex enough, it'll cause yer game to act up. Thus maybe if ye' make the scale a bit more simple, it'll be a bit more cooperative.

i've never had the ___Terrain.png issue. i've named it things like asdf.png and it hasn't done a thing.

anyway, try copying it and pasting it onto a new greyscale canvas? thats what i do

OK! So adding Terrain to the name did nothing to help... NEXT!

Vespian, what do you mean by making the grayscale simpler?

He means try not to use fancy brushes when making the hight map. Sometimes the game cannot render certain types, meaning the game will simply crash. See that large black area to the right on your map? That could be the problem. I'd try editing that a bit. ^^

This is not the place to post this... Create a new topic in "game help." You'll get more answers, and look here:

Hey! So, I've noticed lots of help threads about this. Look here instead! It's usually just little things that are easy to fix.


1. Make sure your caps lock is not on. The login is caps sensitive! Make sure you're typing everything correctly.

2. Do not use the numpad! Use the numbers above the alphabet on your keyboard.

3. Does your username or password have any unusual symbols such as ?$!@*-_ ect.? This can mess things up for some people. Make a new account if you're having trouble with symbols. If you make a new one, please try to stick with a-z letters, nothing capitalized.

4. Make sure that your keyboard language is in English! It won't log you in unless you have a US keyboard setting.

5. If you're trying to log on ingame, make sure the server is up and running. You can do this by looking at the top of the banner of this forum.

6. Make sure you are logging in with your username, not forum nickname. My actual username is JazzForLife, and I log in with that. I do not use Jazzz, because that is my forum nickname.

7. Even if you change your password on the forum, your password for the game will always be the same you signed up with.

Hope this helped. If anyone has any more tips to add, tell me and I'll add them.

Also make sure your username and password don't exceed over 16 characters, otherwise you'll need to create a new account. Registration opens randomly for about two hours. Good luck on catching the registration if needed!
