Description I decided to make a tutorial for making maps. I know, there are MANY tutorials about that, but I'm going to explain you all things in terrain files, images, codes etc.

Just please read EVERYTHING, especially the text under title.

There is a great tutorial for drawing heightmaps, done by Genesis199 link

Part 1 "Heightmap"

    Part 2.1 "Advance mask"
    Part 2.2 "Advance mask 2"
Part 3 "Map codes"
Part 4 "Object Maker"
Part 5 "Sky Maker"

You have to create a new folder for your map, in FeralHeart>media>terrains, and it has to have the same name as .map file of your map (e.g. you're creating a map named 'Forest Evening', so both folder and .map file have to be named 'ForestEvening')

Dammit I knew I was right. ;D; I was doing that for a map of mine and I totally though FH didn't support 16 bit maps.

Hah yes, I used 8 bit for a long time, until I discovered 16 bit and it's so much nicer

So your saying that the height terrain doesn't have to be 513x513? 'Cause that's the only way I can get it to work for me.

Yes, you can use different size as I said.

BUT there is something else you need to do: in terrain.cfg file you MUST CHANGE the PageSize number, e.g. your heightmap image has 1025x1025, so you must fill in PageSize=1025
I think that's the problem why everyone say "it's not working!"

And I will explain that in other parts of the tutorial. Just wait patiently
