height map crashing...

[SunsetWildWolf]

My height maps have not been loading into map marker.

Whenever I put the name of the map into the world tab my laptop will freeze and tells me that feral heart has stopped working.

It all started when I had to uninstall and reinstall feral heart because it would not open. 

Can anyone help me?

Thank you for reading!

Hmmm... That's seems rather unusuall, o maybe familiar, idk.
Anyways, try maybe re-installing FH? Maybe It'll help?
If not, try checking you're practical folder, for any _0, _1 ending on or so... Maybe it will help, In any way? :/

Anyways, I wish you luck! ^.^

Sorry, for my bad explanation. :c

From the manual section here on the site explaining heightmaps

(~Note~)

If you were to create a heightmap on your own there's a few preferences it must follow and it has the very same as the heightmap used above and below. When your create/save a heightmap it must/should follow these rules.

1. It must be saved into a PNG format

2. It can only consist of 1 layer!(If you use more the game will crash upon importing it) Make sure you flatten/merge the layers on the image before saving it.

3. The image must be saved/edited in grayscale mode and cannot consist of or use colours(If not the game will crash)

4. The Image size should be even on both size, the standard size is 513 x 513 pixels.

5. The use of "Alpha Channel" should be left unmarked/turned off.

If something is not followed in that list it could very well crash your game until you sort it out.

Here it's explained in video.

Hopefully something there will help. ^^ You can also try changing your rendering system.

I have followed all of those rules there.

And I just got FH again. So all of the settings are up to date.

What image program do you use?
For me, I use GIMP, but a little trick I've found is that if you have the whole image selected and it's 513x513 and greyscale, and press Ctrl + C  to copy it, and then press Ctrl + Shift + V (or whatever it is for other image programs, it just pastes into a new window) and then press Flatten Image, and then save over the old one, it usually works for me.

I use gimp as well.

 I will try this out on my map. Thanks

[SunsetWildWolf]

I just checked Gimp again and I found out the alpha channel was on. I tuned it off and my map went away.... How can I make a height map without it going away?

[Ruby1234]

This is just after I flattened my image.
Flattening the image already makes the alpha channel go away, so you shouldn't have to worry about that.

It worked! Thank you!
