Your height map is an incorrect size.

To get the correct height map image size, multiply your map dimensions by 64 and then add 1. For example, if your map size was 8 x 8 then your height map size should be 513 x 513:

8 * 64 + 1 = 513

possible to near the edge of map, or in a compleatly unsutible position, remeber some of the images are upside down. Or it may jsut have been because it could not find the Geo pic, an error it normaly gets past, but I think its crashed me befor.

You've probably renamed your .smf. (or .smt, whichever one it is)

Umm... No. I just 7zip-ed up the files (with my .smd) and it has a texture problem. I'll post the current file on UF.

well, you can always reclaim it...

Find an old version that had your stuff, then click edit, then save it as the current one and boom :mrgreen:
