It is a crash to desktop, a real crash. I do not think that it be a problem from from bmp format. Is there logs from the map editor?

Status: offline 		Hi everyone!
the problem is mine, first I read my texture correctly in the editor, you can see a few maps that I have in process, I perform the save of an empty height to know the correct size, I always put the same measurement for my 4096x4096 maps so the empty height is always 257x257, my height has previously been extracted with 5CC so I modify it with the correct size in Photoshop and save it in 32-bit .BMP but when loading it in the editor it explodes, no error message appears. When I reopen the editor I get a message that I attach ...
Thanks for your time.

Status: offline 		The height map needs to be (256 * mapWidth) + 1 by (256 * mapHeight) + 1 (where mapWidth and Height can be 1 or 2). A BMP should work fine, so that is very odd - perhaps check it is not compressed in case that causes issues with the DX loading code. Our debug logging system is down for maintenance at the moment and so there is a delay in my getting the logs, so if you wish to post an error log to the forum that will likely speed up fixing the issue.

Cheers

Pip

Status: offline 		Strange Pip, I cant load any type of HM in the editor without it exiting immediately. - It also quits on saving a HM. The hm is saved, but the editor exits.

Status: offline 		I will keep looking guys. None of the editor crash logs I am getting have any stack trace, which makes it less helpful. If any of your error logs have the string "starting debugger" in them, that would be very helpful. Not sure why it is working for some but not others.

Cheers

Pip

Status: offline 		If you are having issues, please try out this debug EXE and let me have the error logs if you see a crash. If you don't see a crash, but don't get the results you expect, then please post the logs as well as it will tell me where it is failing.

Status: offline 		Thanks a lot. It was an object which got changed and was being released incorrectly, but for some reason wasn't causing any issues on our machines. Thanks for you help. The debug EXE is fine to use until a new drop can be done.

Cheers
