Heightmaps causing the game to crash? (SOLVED)
« on: March 19, 2016, 03:44:29 pm »
Hello, everyone! It's been a long while since I've posted on here, hehe.

I've been trying to create a map pack recently, but FeralHeart ends up crashing whenever I enter the terrain name in Map Creator (-name-Terrain.png, etc.). Could anyone possibly know why this is happening?

Here are a few things you may want to make sure of when creating the heightmap:

-Keep the size to 513x513 (At the least, be sure that the sizes are the same)

-Set it to Grayscale (not just the color)

-Make sure you only have one layer- if you're using more than two, be sure to flatten them into one.

-Remove the Alpha Channel lock

If you define yourself by the power to take life, the desire to dominate, to possess… then you have nothing.

I believe what warriorstrike meant was 513x513 for the size~

Also, if your map name is titled for example "forest warriorsTerrain" there can't be spaces, so either lose the space or replace it with an underscore, "forest_warriorsTerrain".

You are amazing <3

I'll go ahead and lock this up for you then. Good luck with your map!
