Spring RTS Engine

Hey there,

I've got some trouble while using MapConv. I created a texture map, a Metal map and a Heightmap, all with the right scale. But the MapConv throws this: I'm unable to translate 'errenous', but he seems to ne unable to deal with the heightmap scale. But it haves the right scale, its 1665x2049. The texturemap is 13312x16384.
13312 / 8 + 1 = 1665.
16384 / 8 + 1 = 2049.
Also, the Converter throws "Image file conversion error" for the texture file. So, is he completely unable to read it?

Sorry, my first try of Map creating was loooong time ago.

are your images in correct file format?

unless you really want to use mapconv you can use springmapeditor:

import the heightmap, texturemap etc and click save without having to deal with commandline.

Whoops, thats a typo in mapconv. Should be erroneous. What image format are you using? What version of mapconv? An image of that size may only be viable if converted to jpg (max quality).

A standard JPEG file. Excessive compression is not recommended since it will reduce quality, but much smaller than BMP

24-bit (16.7 million colors)
Lossy (compression)

What? JPG? haha

PNG, TGA or DDS those are good

DDS is way worse than jpeg at high settings. TGA is uncompressed (unless you set it to LZMA or run length encoding, in which case its not better than PNG).
PNG is worth a shot.
