Title: Update 1. Post // New Game.exe and new Patch
Post by: Tigg on May 14, 2011, 07:14:47 pm
http://feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=23&Itemid=40 (http://feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=23&Itemid=40)

At the moment WINDOWS only!

Please Download and install Game-setup (if you are new to the game! if not you just need the patch!). So far, this is just Bugfixes, nothing really new.

You will have to export all your Preset Files and Map Files again in case to use/see them Ingame.

If there are Problems with Installing/Running the Game after updating: Make sure FH was NOT running whilst you installed the Updates!
Restart your Computer after Installing!
Stll not working, deinstall everything, download new and install again!
STILL Problems? Use the Help Section please!

Yes, i know.. this is bleh, but the old fhz werent save anymore, they got hacked, so they got changed.

Update Text:

[April 14] Major Preset and Map Maker change! All ".fhz" files now no longer work, please export your files to share again. Apologies for the inconvenience. MapMaker now also exports Object, Sky and Weather files. To share maps, just put everything into the "exports" folder for them to work! -Kov



You can overwrite the Files, the Installer will not delete your Custom Maps, Presets, Objects, Skys, Weathers and so on.


All FHZ Files wont work after you updated the Game. You will need to Re-Export your Maps and Presets all again and update the Downloadlinks of your Presets and Maps with the New Files.
You will need the update after a while anyways, the Game and Server arent synchron atm, but after they are, the game will say "Download latest Patch". So without the Patch, you wont be able to play. At the moment the Game runs without updating too, but not for long.


Map exporting:

The Exporter INCLUDES all your Meshes too, thats what Kovu says. Apparently theres a little error in the Exporter! If you Use Particles for your exported Map, the Exporter will do all the Particles in a Single File for every Particle used in this Map. You have to send them to your Friends too, BUT (!!) delete them after you sendet the exported Map. Otherwise you will get the Error: [Ogre Exception Error, Particle XYZ already exists..]. Kov will fix it as soon as possible!

That means your Meshes will be exported too, then you dont have to send the Meshes as extra Files. And no, others can -not- use your Meshes, they can only see them in your Map as long as they dont use your Files. Your Meshes are -still- not safe from being used by others. Mapmaker only puts everything comfortingly together so you dont have to send every File extra.


((Eh yeah, by the way, he never planned to protect anything else than the Map.-File itself, which is still .fhz and not openable. Read the first Post correctly and you see that the Maps are only not editable in Mapmaker, like bevore too.))

You need to download both, first Install the maingame (FH cant run while installing) then the Patch. Maybe download it later.

Backups are something I do out of reflex for this stuff. (Ah, playing The Sims has taught me well.) XD

But what of all the .fhz from/in the backups? What will happen to those when re-introduced into the updated game?

Thanks, Tigg. That answered my questions. XD

New question - (sorry if I'm being a bother) - If we have a map with custom stuff, does the new updated exporter include the custom meshes/materials/particles in the new format, or do we still need to send those, too?

I -think- you still have to send those. I am not sure about this! I will ask Kov tomorrow and update the first Post then.

Okay then, starting fresh.
-gulps- I don't think our normal character will be erased but its just such a pain that our presets will be since I've done bios for all of them.
I think I'll just keep them off the game then.
Gah.

I did all this, and I knew something had to go wrong because something always does for me whenever I install things. My game is missing irrKlang.dll or something? I searched it on here and it says to reinstall, but I don't see how it'll magically make the file again if I do that. Could someone put the file on mediafire or something?

@angelbeliever, you should run it.

@Freyja, just try reinstalling. Sometimes it will give you back a file you were missing, it just didn't include it in your first download.

@Carol, if you don't have it ingame anymore, try downloading it again.

@Chalk, you've asked for it already. No need to ask another time.

Random question...
How come the game and the patch are two separate downloads? They can't be merged into one file?

I created a thread (http://feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=2926.0) for things like this. Just go on ahead and click thread to go there. xD
Draak, the FeralHeart installation is for downloading the game itself. Then, when the game updates, you can download the patch instead of having to uninstall, backup all custom made files, and re-install and put the files back in for the first installation. :)

Yeah.

Though I was wondering because wouldn't it be easier if there was just one file to download ready to go? None of this download the game, updating whatsits and then download the patch etc.
XD; I was thinking it'd be more convinient with one single patched game file.

Not sure of something like this was answered in here but if it was maybe I didn't understand it.... Before you download the patch... Do you have to move all those meshes and materials and such out of the folders and put them back in after you downloasd the patch? Sorry for being a bother D8.

Hey all i just downloaded the new patch and i want to know if there is a way i can switch my maps over from the .fhz format the the new one if you can give me in detail how to do this.
Title: Re: New Game.exe and new Patch
Post by: IceDarki on May 15, 2011, 06:20:30 am
Hmmm....
Alright, seems like one of the maps I got from an RP Group only contains the .fhz file. What do I do now? :/
Title: Re: New Game.exe and new Patch
Post by: Twiliac on May 15, 2011, 07:34:19 am
Okay, so I did what you all have said to do in the post. But, when I move the fhz map files into exports and reboot the game completely. The portal doesn't show up.

I even moved the export folder into the Terrains.

So, what's the deal here?

Edit;; Would of been nice to known about this.

Place your friends' maps here!
Maps must be exported from the Map Maker.

Files types included are:
.fhm
.fho
.fhs
.fhw

Most skip the 'Read me file.'

Seems like, they can't be Fhz files any more. :/.


Okay, figured it out. You have to download Fh completely, that means deleting the old one and getting the new one plus the patch.

Only then, can you export your maps and get them to work again. That was the problem we were having.
Title: Re: New Game.exe and new Patch
Post by: chalketh on May 15, 2011, 09:16:54 am
Sorry about that, I'm just really eager for it to come out for Macs. I recently joined a group, and I couldn't get in  the map because it was a .fhm file. I'd also like to continue making maps and giving them to my friends, but I'll have to wait, apparently.

Hi um, it says that the map exports with the objects now or something -cant remember exactly what it said- so um for Example. if you had a object that no one else had, you know like a custom made one, if you put that in a new map and then exported it, when other people download the map will the object also be downloaded with it? so they can actuarlly see it? (because in the old version i knew that if you didnt have the object you couldnt see it.) please reply? thanks.

Yes, Kov says the Meshes will be exported too. And no, others -cant- use the Mesh, they can only see it in the Map. I havent tested that yet, but he says it works this way. Read the first Post, its updated.

I haven't downloaded the patch, I've just downloaded the setup, and many things have been edited. But, my maps that I have downloaded from the forum are not there anymore, and I have moved everything from a particular map into the "exports" file, I think.

What's wrong?
Title: Re: New Game.exe and new Patch
Post by: Ruby1234 on May 15, 2011, 04:46:52 pm
Okay people, if you're getting the new FH installer, forget the patch! The patch is not for the new installer!

@Zarago: I'd try putting them in terrains, like the old one.

Yeah no, .fhz files won't work until the creator re-exports them from the new version.

You actually don't NEED to uninstall FH to run the new .exe installer.

But you do NEED to download the new .exe - just download it and run it, it writes over the files it needs to. THEN download and run the patch.

Calm down, maxey. FH will now screw up your laptop, no matter what you do. If you want to be sure, and if you're really confused, why don't you just download the game AND the patch? It won't delete anything and it won't cause any harm. And all caps will NOT get you an answer any faster.

Well, when you export a map, everything goes into the exports folder. And you put your friend's maps in the exports folder. And you still put presets in the presets folder. Simple.

Anyone have any idea on how to fix the many error boxes that come up when I try to run the FHSetup.exe file under Downloads in the Torrent Window? Cause at the moment I have no idea what to do using Torrent. ;_;
I'd rather not just download it; I got virus from doing so once. D:

Thanks for the update, does this mean we'll have to re download all our maps again? After i got the new patch and everything was working, I ended up with only one of my old maps, so how do I get them all back? This might sound like a n00b question because I only recently discovered how to get and use maps.

Edit: Also, what if I had a character in a map I no longer have?

Yes i tried putting all the files in the export folder, but the portal did not show up.

I noticed there were some things from Feralistic in there. Should I install it again?

If the map is black when you log in, hit the home position and reset it to bonfire island. You just have to run all the way back to the cape. I'm still able to remove some of my characters from deleted maps.

And you might as well delete the new maps you create. This update is not that epic-eqyption-encryption snizzle kov said he'd do. Anyone can open the .fhm files using 7zip and extract 90% of the original content

The new exports thing is a much better way to keep everything organized! I'm really excited about this update!

Eh yeah, by the way, he never planned to protect anything else than the Map.-File itself, which is still .fhz and not openable. Read the first Post correctly and you see that the Maps are only not editable in Mapmaker, like bevore too.

Question: It exports mytrees.fho and stuff...however what happens when you download a map with mytrees.fho? Does it overwrite all the files you stored on there, or do they merge?

Before you didn't need to send all the 'project' files either?

I dont understand the Question xD The Mainmapfiles, which are ment to be protected, still are, the Rest is just to put everything Comfortingly together in Files.

@Mary

Fix? You just need to re-export your map.

... *clueless*
Do we have to download it? My game was working fine even though I didn't download the patch. And, my friend only downloaded the patch and it worked fine.
So, I'm also confused: What about our maps..? What do we have to do, again, to get them running okay in the new version? I read some of the posts-- so we have to take them out and put them back in the re-installed FH?
And, do we have to delete FH and THEN reinstall it?
I'm sorry for being so confused.

In Mapmaker you have to hit "Has Portal" again to make an Portal.

Okay so I am having a couple issues, I am pretty new to the game so it may just be me. Here we go...

When I make skies, and try to put them in the map, it constantly says that it's not found.
In object maker, I cant add new material to meshes, for instance turning a regular waterfall into blood, and then when I try to export it, it tells me that it can't be exported.

Another issue is that a friend tried to make a map, and it only exported the map and no items in it, I thought the patch exported the items with the map?
 
Anyway, I heard that the patch itself is going to be patched? Is this true? And if so, what is that going to do?

Thanks.
