Ugh, Failed to Import PNG

[corrado33]

Finished making my map in photoshop, tried to import it into map editor, and it gives me this error.

It was importing them just fine before I finished the map and made it all... semi complicated. I don't know what it is.

I saw ONE thread about this, and there was never a conclusion on why it happened, so is there any new insight?

I can't upload the png because it's too big. Any help?

try compressing it?

Ahhh n/m it's only 15 megs. (Dunno how I missed that).

Here is a link to the picture.

(Don't wait for that site to try to load the pic, just download it)

Here is what I've tried.

• Delete left side of map
• Delete right side of map
• Delete stacked steel beams (extra) up top. I haven't finished the map yet so they were just sitting there waiting to be moved)
• I tried to use the "save for web" in photoshop, but it doesn't work with a file that large
• I also tried making the picture smaller (dimension wise, not resizing the pic, I had extra space on the top and bottom), that didn't help

I honestly don't care if the map editor analyzes the picture, cause I'll do all of the borders myself if I need to. I'm just kinda mad it's not working ;(

It worked when I just had the middle part and the very top left part.

Double post, sorry.

I think it MIGHT be a size problem.

Currently, the pic above is 5500x5500. I deleted almost everything except the stuff that I got to work before, and had the picture at full size, 5500x5500 and it didn't work.

Then I resized the canvas to 4000x5500 and boom, it works.

The question I have is, I've seen maps with 9000x2000 pixels. Is it a total size thing, can't exceed x number of sq pixels or something? What's weird is I had this working before at 5000x5000. That's 25000 sq pixels. Hmmm, this gave me an idea.... (Yes I write stream of consciousness like)

Another question I have is, can I just chop my map up into parts and import it that way? lol

EDIT: Ok I'm almost positive it's a size thing. I resized the canvas to 4000 x 5500 and it imported the entire thing. I'll just have to scratch one part of the map since it's too big.

Yes you can chop your map up in 4 pieces and just import them then. I think you'll have to watch closely for lines between the pieces though.

On a sidenote, awesome to see people still making coop maps

That's the thing, I really just got into coop, and I've pretty much done/figured out most of the popular maps already, so I got bored and decided to make my own. I'll make a thread on it later once I get it finished.

I think I have some fresh ideas on coop. At least ones I haven't seen before. They may or may not work due to lag, but I can sure try.
