I made a height map, but it does not show up in the map
« on: June 26, 2011, 06:06:17 am »
Ok, i got GIMP finally, and i tried making a map. i got the height map half done, and i decided to try it out ingame to see if it would work, its in greyscale and everything, but it does not show up ingame in my maps, i named it correctly, and went over to directions in the documentation a few times. what am i doing wrong?
I am not who I was when I last left here, from the years '11 through '13. I sincerely apologize for how rude and disrespectful I had been, and hope whoever I have wronged before can forgive my previous bad behavior.

Well, what do you mean by "it does not show up?"
Does it crash?

That didn't answer my question, but okay. xD

Have you tried switching from .png to .jpg, and/or the like?

The World tab, and the place where you type in your heightmap.

So, you typed in the image's name there, right?
