Feral Heart

I found FH right when it came out! My friends and I had played IT for years and were bummed to see it go out, but signed up for FH asap. Haven't really PLAYED in years though, I should get back to that. D:

Hello!
I decided to try mapmaking again, and I'm meeting a lot of frustrations!
I've opened up the default mapmaking file, and I'm trying to upload a very basic heightmap. It's 513x513, made on firealpaca, with saturation cranked all the way down to 0. However, every time I type it's file name into the map maker, it crashes! Are there any settings I could have wrong? Also, where am I meant to be putting the height map? I'm afraid the map making guide on the feral heart website seems to be a little out of date- I've gone to the folders it references, and they don't have the images it makes reference too.

Any assistance is appreciated!

Downloaded them, and it's working just fine! I'm gonna download the item pack too.

So today I redownloaded and played FH for the first time in years- so while I have an account, it may as well be my first boot up. I also got the preset sync addon. However, I've found that other player characters aren't loading correctly for me. Sometimes, they work, but more often than not they appear blank white, with only their manes/tufts colored in correctly, with the occasional regular character or preset loading correctly. Here's some examples:

Does anyone have an explanation for this? Could it be that my FH game could just still be catching up to the preset sync program? Any assistance would be lovely, as I'd love to see everyone's character designs!

Hello!
I've been a member of FH since the Impressive Title days, but have taken a very, very large break. I came back to visit today, and was thrilled to see that the community is still booming!

As a 'hey I'm back' gift, I thought I'd offer this to you guys. It could easily be used with relation to the game, though I wasn't sure where to post it. I hope here is fine!

It should be noted, first of all, that I am a HUGE nerd for genetics. I'm literally trying to get my degree in it. As a result, I tend to utilize my knowledge in...weird ways. In 2017, I made a cat genetics generator- you simply load the page, scroll down, and compare to the tables above to get a completely random cat, complete with genetics! It takes into account dominant and recessive genes, the general frequency they appear at, etc.

Cat Generator

I include guides as to what each term means in the generator, but here's a quick rundown for those who don't want to read too much:

Most of the time, a cat has 2 copies of a gene, called an allele. Each kitten gets one allele from each of it's parents. The probabilities of what alleles the kitten will get can be found through Punnet Squares. The interaction between the alleles in a cat are determined by dominance.

Dominant genes: Completely overwrite the other gene. For example, Peterbald cats (a type of hairless cats) are completely dominant in their hairlessness. If you have a kitten with one Peterbald hairless allele, it doesn't matter what the other one is- that cat will have no hair.

Recessive genes: Genes that are 'hidden' by the other gene. An example of this is the dilution of coat colors- if a black cat has a diluted coat, it will appear brown. However, dilution is a recessive gene- the cat will appear black, not brown, if it has even one non-dilution allele.

Incomplete dominance: A combination of both genes. For example, if a female cat has a coat color gene for orange and a coat color gene for black, it will come out as a tortoiseshell or calico- a mix of both alleles.

Anyone is allowed to edit this document- you can use it to insert cat genes from the original generator to produce theoretical kittens of a pairing! However, PLEASE do not edit the programming of this and only edit the fields where the cat genes go. I have a copy of the functioning generator, but I'd rather not reset the whole thing.

-------------------------------------

Obviously, use these as you will. However, I was thinking these would probably be best used in roleplaying groups that are multi-generational in nature, such as in warrior cats RPs or other such games. If you do use it though, let me know! :3 I'd love to see what you come up with!
