    I'm stumped, i can't seem to get this map to function, nothing appears at all and i just spawn in the middle/top of the map and fall to my death, repeatedly.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    About the map -
    It's a blood gulch-esque map i called TwinCastles.
    It contains tents of both teams.
    Uses Doors & Bridges (Both Red and Blue)
    Sky, Stone, Wall, Gold, Thick Rock and Bedrock. (Names derived from the wiki)
    Created in Photoshop, saved as a PNG file. Used the TDMTEST.png map for the base size.

    That was easy to fix.
    Here you go this one should work:

    The issue was that you didn't save it in 24-bit depth. If you don't do that, the map won't load correctly.

    Try this version out. Should work.

    Edit: Ninja'd Melan, Melan is too slow.

    Nice map, however, I think this should be in the Modding -> Maps Section, even though you have a problem.
    I think your problem is that you need to save it in the PNG-16/24 format, I had this problem when I started out too, freaked me out too.
    As I make maps with photoshop as well, you're in luck. :)
    When you press the Save for Web Devices, check the top-right corner for Preset: PNG-24, and under that, it should be set at PNG-24 as well.
    Hope this helped :thumbs_up:
    EDIT: Ninja'd by Kouji. :QQ:

    Melan gave you that answer for photoshop:

    It depends on the program you use though.

    Oh right, derp.
    I'll try and save a tweak version like it, but i've never gotten that option.

    EDIT: Found it, failed to realise there was an entirely new 'Save' for that. Herp de derp.

    Problem solved, thanks guys :P
