--- Basic Map Installation ---
> Close your game. (Seriously, CLOSE IT FIRST!)
> Download any map.
> Put the export files (.fho, .fhm, .fhs, etc) of the map (NO FOLDERS) into "FeralHeart > exports".
Note: If the download has folders in it, it might have further instructions that you will need to follow!
> Open the Game.
> Go to Cape of Distant Worlds.
> Find the new portal.
> Enter the portal if/when you find it.
> DONE!



For those of you like me that want an easier way (Yet harder to set things up, can't be helped. >_<) to insert and remove maps without causing problems with other ones you installed...

--- Advanced Map Installation ---
> Close your game. (Seriously, CLOSE IT FIRST!)
> Download any map.
> Make a folder in "FeralHeart > exports" and give it a recognizable name. (Likely the name of the map!)
> Place all the export files (NO FOLDERS) into this new folder.
Note: You may still need to follow further instructions if the map has more than just exported files for it!
> Go to the main FeralHeart folder.
> Open the resources .cfg.
> Add this line in the [UnofficialTerrains] section:
Code: [Select]
FileSystem=exports/mapfoldername> Open the game.
> Go to Cape of Distant Worlds.
> Find the new portal.
> Enter the portal if/when you find it.
> DONE!

Note: The Advanced method prevents maps from overwriting files from other maps and causing many problems, like missing objects! It also makes it so that you don't have to guess which files go with which map when you no longer want a certain map in your files. :D

Warning about default portals for FH v1.15: The default portals that come with the game are very hard to see, many users have reported that maps would not show up but they simply couldn't see the portals because they are clear in coloring! If you are having trouble finding the maps you downloaded, you may want to find a mod that changes the portal colors!

For the sake of my own health and interests, I've left FH and I won't be looking back.

Once again, another helpful tutorial friend ^^
- Pandeer Sticker to le Snout -
Excellent job c:

If it's not yet known by some newer floofs out there ( or some forgetful ones ) you might want to add the portals can be a tad bit hard to see unless they downloaded something to deal with that. I know a user sent some portal downloads ( or a file ) that can help clear up that situation,
 before I went on my 'leave' but I could getting my memory mixed c':

Great tutorial! This'll help many users!

--- Basic Map Installation ---
> Close your game. (Seriously, CLOSE IT FIRST!)
What happens if the game is not closed before installing the map?

My presets.

Good things take time, so I'll take an eternity and create something so good that the human brain can't handle the sheer goodness of it.

The map might not show up in game unless you close it.

*Nuzzles.*

Wonderfully made, Vortex. It'll bring helpful guidance to many users whom comes across this. Not too detailed, either so the simplicity of it makes the instructions clear and easy to follow.
