I've tried it a few times now. All that happens is it says: 'FeralHeart has gone derp' or something like that....
Could you provide me any more help, please?

When you save it in gimp, save it as 'themapnameterrain.png' then it will save as a png and try again opening it in FH. If this dose not work then I'm sorry, but your going to have to write on the forums about this. I don't play much FH anymore, so I can't help you

Okay. But thanks anyway.
I appreciate what you could do to help though. Thank you!

i had the same problem as you, and this is how i got my map to work:
1. do *not* save your height and mask maps into any folder other than FeralHeart>Media>Terrains. dont save it into it's own folder in the terrains folder or the game wont recognize it.
2. save it as a PNG file and save it *without* saving it through Paint. If GIMP is making it a .xcf file, click 'file', then 'Export', then save it as a .png in your 'terrains' folder

Do you know how to get more than just 3 terrains on a mask? I saw a tutorial somewhere.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep, I know how to. Want an explanation?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
First off, go ahead and create your second mask file, and change it how ever you want. Shove it in the same folder your first mask was in. (You'll have to experiment, I'm not sure how the colours work on the 2nd mask)
Next, you go to your map folder (FH>media>terrains>your-map-name-here). and open the Material with note pad, for example HAGDmaterial.cfg. Should be something like this:
AlphaMap1=HAGDM.png
AlphaMap2=
Splat1=bluestone.jpg
Splat2=green_grass.jpg
Splat3=greystone.jpg
Splat4=
Splat5=
Splat6=
The AlphaMap2= is where you have to type in your second mask name.
So, if mine was HAGDM2.png:
AlphaMap1=HAGDM.png
AlphaMap2=HAGDM2.png
Splat1=bluestone.jpg
Splat2=green_grass.jpg
Splat3=greystone.jpg
Splat4=
Splat5=
Splat6=
Simple. Once your done, go to map maker and test if it works.
I hope that works.

I've a problem; whenever I load my height map, the game crashes. It's 513x513, grey scale and saved in Terrains, so I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Can you help me? I'd be very grateful if you did!

You have a bit of transparency on your image.
To fix it..
1.Open gimp, grey scale 513x513
2.Open your heigh map in paint, copy it
3.Paste it in gimp, then right click on the pasted layer in the layer tab (on the side) and Anchor layer. (This is important)
4.Save it as a new name and try it in game.

Either you typed the name wrong of you forgot/put the file in the wrong folder, or didin't restart the game after putting the files in the folder, just try again

i have a question when im done in greyscale i go to feral heart and i open it but it crushes plz help DX
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You probably have some transparency on your image, this is what you have to do: Open it in paint, copy, then open gimp scale 513x513 and greyscale and paste it there. Next in the layers tab of gimp right click the map and anchor layer. Then save it with a bit diffrent name and type that into FH and it should work

lol i tryed but it did not work :/

If it crashed, it probably means it's too intensive for your computer. I see you've posted this at the end of July, so you've probably got an answer by now, or just gave up, but that's my theory on it.

You probably can. It's pretty straight-forward.

Well, lemme ask this first: why can't you?

and another quest.. how do you make rivers once you've imported the map terrian and such?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
To make rivers you draw them with black onto the terrain, then add ocean to the heigh of your river. (Add ocean is under the world tab in map maker) Hope I helpd

I need help, how do you add the music in the map? D:
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You either add music to objects, or do this:
add your sound file into the sounds and music folder in FH>media, then type the file name with the .mp3 or what ever format you got into the 'Add music' box under the Map tab in the map maker.

I'm confused with making the terrain n mask XD How do you colour the terrain/mask?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm not shure how to help you, But you just set your image size to 315x315, set the image to grey scale and draw something in black and white and test it. You have to do it in gimp, or photoshop, make shure that you don't have any transparency on the image (draw on the background layer) and save as a png. Hope that helps

Umm well I use photoshop, and I have no clue what anchor layer means??
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, I din't think 'anchor layer' is in photoshop. But you must just merge the pasted layer on the other one.

You have to export it, (in map maker near save) then go to Cape of distant worlds and it should be there
