Limited resolution in Fractal Terrains Export
Hi,
I have bought FTPro just yesterday, because I wanted to export my world I made before in the Demoversion in highres.
Well, I want to export this map in bmp with a resolution of 10,000px width or higher, but everytime I am trying to do so FT crashes completely. I've tried both, the sphericalmap export and the simple "Save as..." option. Exporting multible files would also be great, but there an bmp export doesn't seems to be possible, just jpeg.
Can you help me?

I know PNG isn't bad, but it is still compressed. Does noboby else has this problem?
However, if it still doesn't work, you could export the world using the "Multiple Files" option. You can set it up to export in high-resolution tiles and then stitch the tiles back together in another program. You might only be able to do jpeg that way but if each tile is small enough and with high enough resolution it'll probably be good enough.
If PNG works well, it would be great. see you in few hours
Hmm. 4063 pngs on my site... some are people from Character Artist. Some are files I am hosting for others, half the map pngs are thumbnails. So, 1,800 for the maps, both surface and dungeon, is probably close.

Site went up in 1999. I have added a bit to it since then. Note there are Google ads on there, no popups though. My surface maps are a hodgepoge of styles, hopefully I will get them all converted over to one style some day. Also, some surface maps, while beng converted, I ofund errors and so some mountain ranges don't match from map to map. Hopefully that wont ruin the web site experience for you.
at first, the Website is pretty cool JimP. I hope i will get enough time soon to take a deeper look.
To my problem: I tried to expor in PNG but the program still crashs. If I am triying to export the map in multiple JPGs I can turn resolution really high but the quality is still pretty bad. It seems like the colorpallette gets compressed to much, so converting the whole files to JPG doesn't have much sense, I'm afraid
FT wants 33 bytes of workspace for every image pixel generated. For a 10000x5000 image FT would require a bit more than 1.65GB of memory to generate the 50Mpixels of image data. This memory requirement is on top of any memory already in use by the program. Windows32 programs have roughly 2GB of virtual memory space to work with so it's unlikely that this memory could be allocated.
