Mitovo Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Hello,Just trying to export the heightmap for my map, as I've made changes to it since importing it originally. I'm using the File > 'Export Terrain Heightmap' option, but it's not doing anything. There's also no options for export format... Is this function broken or disabled currently?

Johxz Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 @MitovoWhat you mean "it's not doing anything"?I did a quick export and is working. This is a exported terrain from "Empty Terrain" or the sand level.http://i.imgur.com/Ehw99kI.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the image you posted looks more like a lightmap than a heightmap.. or is that one of the images exported with it?Step 1) http://i.imgur.com/xGZAIkY.jpgStep 2) http://i.imgur.com/snnJ8lY.jpgStep 3) http://i.imgur.com/HvNXkmS.jpgNothing is saved to the destination folder after I click the Export button Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here just need to select the folder. The heightmap will have the name of the terrain "theTerrain_heightmap.png" and "theTerrain_layerMap_0_sand.png" Also, the image you posted looks more like a lightmap than a heightmap.. or is that one of the images exported with it?YesThe true I almost no use terrain, so not sure the cons. I remember @Duion did some terrains with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, if I just type in the path I want to export it to, rather than using the File Open dialog, it works fine. So.. .got that to work at least lol.Thanks!

Duion Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 That function works all correctly, the only issue is with the dialog, that can be confusing, since you need to know that you have to select the terrain block first and make sure a valid path is entered below, I always export them into the game directory, so I don't have to bother with picking a folder.
