I'm using Advanced Terrain and have just been issued with the incredibly helpful 'Error 6'.
Anyone know what it means?

I think that means no valid height map.

Not sure about that. I get the equally helpful "Memory failure" error if the heightmap is missing from the folder - or do you mean the heightmap is there but invalid in some other way?

It means its unable to load the heightmap for some reason.

1. The command was not executed to load the heightmap.

2. The path to the heightmap is incorrect.

3. The heightmap is not a power of 2.

It was a few years back when i was messing with AT but i'm
90% sure it's a heightmap problem.

Since then i lost everything, including a list of all the AT errors so i havn't been updating DBP for a long time.
Been thinking of getting back into it when i have some time.
I am past the denial and have entered the acceptance stage.

Running on my memories for now.

p.s
Always allow yourself 10% for humility sake.

The strange thing about the heightmap issue is that I thought Lee changed things in one of the updates so that a more helpful error message was given. But that doesn't seem to be the case. Perhaps it was just a suggestion?
