The FH map heightmaps?
« on: June 18, 2017, 08:00:29 pm »
Idk if this should be here, but if it isn't tell me.
Is it possible if I could have a image (no matter how bad quality just don't have a cursor right in the middle of it) of the default FH heightmaps?
I'm going to make a tutorial on what places are great to use as what and I don't know how to crop screenshots or get the cursor  o u t  of the way.

Thank you,
Ashyak

I'll test it, I know how to crop pictures. I'll let you know if it works!

Also, what paint program do you use? I can teach you how to crop a photo to make a heightmap out of it.

EDIT: it works! Open all of the drop-down menus until you see 'Canvas Size', click on it and set both the width and height to 513, then turn the photo to greyscale, and then the photo is a heightmap!

My presets.

Good things take time, so I'll take an eternity and create something so good that the human brain can't handle the sheer goodness of it.

I'm not trying to make them into maps I'm trying to get the photos so I can make a tutorial showing hidden areas or areas good for x kind of roleplay
Sorry if I wasn't clear!
And I use GIMP!

Sorry, I read the main post wrong.

But I made this!


I don't have pictures of the original heightmaps, I'm not sure it's possible to take a picture of a heightmap without the pointer. An alternative would be to press F3 and fly up into the air to get a birds-eye view of the maps, and press Print Screen on the keyboard to screenshot.

Hi there! I believe what you're searching for is the height maps to the public maps, correct? Unfortunately, these are not accessible as images, so screenshoting and cropping them is the only way to get the heightmap images alone. If that is what you wish to do, simply use the PrtScn button on your keyboard to take a screenshot (You can hit tab to hide all GUI and cursors/tab again to unhide).

Then, locate the screenshot in your Feral Heart Folders (Local Disk>>Feral Heart>>Screenshots) and right click on the image. Click the option "Open with" and open it with a paint program to crop. If you're using a PC with Windows on it, you should automatically have the program called "Paint". Open the image with that and use the Select tool (Looks like a dotted box) to drag and select the area in which you would like to crop to. Once selected, hit Ctrl + X and the image should dissapear. Simply open up a new window of paint, and hit Ctrl + V to paste the image, and then save. Since you are cropping a small window from such a large screenshot, the quality might not be too great, but I believe that this is the only possible way to isolate the heightmap.

Hope this helps! If you have any questions, let me know c:

To get the cursor off the screen, you can press tab, which will hide it along all the other GUI. To get them back, just press tab again. c:
