Ptag memory

# boreal idol Ptag memory

If you encounter java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space error, that means that the game ran out of memory (ram) while processing your request or action.

If you're on mobile, there's not much you can do to alleviate this issue, closing other applications in the background might help. For PC, you can simply increase the maximum heap space as a launch argument. For example -Xmx4G will let the game use up to 4 gigabytes of memory. That is, of course if you have enough memory. Generally, it's not a good idea to allocate more than 50% of your entire system memory. If that doesn't work and you're on PC, please check if you have 64 bit Java installed, because if you don't, game can only use 2 gigabytes of memory.

Would there be a way to just make it smaller? It doesn't have to be hug i just want the lil island and some of the river coming in if not it's ight, just most the lands made with giant are boring and not as cool as gigantic

Ptag heightmaps

You want to make a region that resembles a real place? Use heightmaps!

  1. Go to https://tangrams.github.io/heightmapper/ and find your wanted location.
  2. Make sure that the colors are right. Black will become water and white will be hills.
  3. Take a screenshot and change the name (example.jpg).
  4. Put the image in your TheoTown folder, not in the subfolders.
  5. Go to the region generator and and type in the image name (example.jpg).
  6. Enjoy your new custom region!
