Okay, Another Update of the Game. It fixes the Export Glitches of the Last Patch.
At the Moment Windows only.
Information:
Who should download what?
NEW Player who DONT have the Game already Installed: The Game Setup, Patch not needed!
Player who already play the Game: You JUST need the Patch!
________________________________________________________
Newings
The Exporter now exports the Presetfiles and Mapfiles -safe-. They were be able to open with a zip Programm earlier, its now not possible anymore.
________________________________________________________
Presets
When you Install the Patch and you have Presetfiles in your "presets"-Folder, delete them. because the Game will crash otherwise. Delete ALL Preset-Files in "presets".
Yes, you will have to export your Presets -again-. But now they cant be opened by others.
________________________________________________________
Maps and Object-Lists
Okay, this is very important now.
For every Map, do your own Object-List. Load the Meshes into the Object Maker and create, for every Map, an own Object-List.
Why is that needet?
Because the Map-Exporter wont see that you use the same Object Lists for many Maps.
Example:
You build 2 maps, using both Objects from "mytrees.object".
Then, when you export the Maps, the Exporter will export those Object-Lists into the Mapfiles.
You upload the Maps and give them out, with the mytrees.object List.
So, you all know, everyone else has this List too, and maybe others has edited the mytrees.object List with own stuff.
So, the game wont rename the Object Lists for you.
mytrees.object from User A has the usuall content
mytrees.object from User B has different stuff inside, maybe another Tree
So, if you download Maps, having the same Named object lists, they will get REPLACED. That means that you can loose Stuff.
So you downloadet a Map from User B, installed. Everything fine. But then you download from User A and he has the same named Objectlist, but not the same content inside like User B, the Game replaces the Object List from User B with the one from User A and then the stuff from User B is GONE.
So, do for every Map an own Object List!
The Best way to test if your Map will work for others is to export the Map, remove the Map from Terrains and all it contents like Meshes/Materials, Weatherfiles, Skyfiles, Object-Lists. Yes.. not the easiest way but the best way. Everything should work from now on anyways.
Make sure to delete all the old Map Files you had bevore the Patch to 1.06! I mean the Exported Files only!
________________________________________________________
Exporting Meshes with a Map:
Do never name a Material the same way as another!
If you want to edit a Mesh with another Texture, edit the New Code into the already existing Material.
Because the Game can trouble up same named Meshes/Materials and then grabbing the wrong Materials. So obviously the Mesh then wont show up right.
By the way, yes, right now the Mesh should be safe from using by others, no guarantee on that since some Hackers always try to destroy things. You should still be carefull.
-------------
Little Problems comming with Materials being double in your files.
Renaming the .Material wont work since the link to the mesh is inside the .Material File.
You would have to rename the Code itself if it collapses with the same name like another mesh.
Example:
tree1.material -> leavemapple1 code
-> mapplebark code
mapple.material -> mappleleave code
-> mapplebark code
So the mapplebark code will make problems since its apearing to be twice in your Materials (The Game looks through all Folders, taking the First matching materialcode with opening the materials and looking for it).
________________________________________________________
Lipsync!
You can now enable Lipsync in the Actions Menu, Tab Emote.
Lipsync is just working in the Local Chat!

3 New Markings for Both Canine and Feline
-
Hooray! Lipsinc! I was never able to play on IT, found out too late, but appearently it was very useful in making movies... something I like doing when bored. Thanks Tigg and Team!
-
so if you already downloaded the game and the patch, you dont download this? o.O
-
YAY! but now i got another error DX
-
Wewt! Thanks Tigg. I'm most excited about lipsync in local now C:
And I'm glad the presets and map files are now safe <3
-
Interesting update.
But don't you mean May 17th / 17th of May, it's not June. o3o
-
Question, tigg, I know we have to re export our presets, but must we also re export our maps? I'm thinking yes?
-
It also appears that the 1.05 to 1.06 patch torrent hasn't been updated. Would it be possible for someone to do that? :)
-
Gah, i downloaded it and now i get an error when i try and log on. The title screen opens fine but it's once i've clicked to sign in i get it.
http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd88/mysterious_dragon_11/error.png (http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd88/mysterious_dragon_11/error.png) This is what i got.
-
@ The post above: Did you read everything and delete ALL your map files?
And lipsync. <33333 Thankies Tiggy. c:

and wait.. whenever i log in... ill click log in to the game and stuff.. and the game closes and brings up an error... its workign for my other friends though ;-;
-
No, you don't have to delete all your map files. Just the ones your friends may have sent you.
-
k its also not letting me load maps in the map maker. HELP o.o
and i only have map files that belong to me >.>...
-
Oi,Axler,what Ringo meant by that is going into your 'exports' folder in the Local Disk (C:) FeralHeart folder,well my laptop uses Local Disk (C:) but it may be different from yours but anyways back to what i'm trying to explain: Go into exports and delete all your files in it and if you want the ReadMe file. (I take it you deleted your Preset exports right?)
-
yeah i deleted the stuff in the terrains folder... ill try to do the other stuff >.>
-
June?
-
June?
Corrected that, atm i am in personal feelings trouble, actually not really able to stress myself with updates :/

2. Either Ogre3D9 or OpenGL Rendering system
3. I have mine on Video mode: 1366 x 768 @ 32-bit colour
And if ya game crashed like it has for many people, uninstal the game completely and reinstal.
-
so where can i download the patch? o.O
-
On the downloads page.

Ehh... and all my maps can go to recycle bin... Only Terrain files and Mask files would be useful, because I have to make new lists of objects per each map... and all those bugs... I'll hold on with playing until next patch is ready ehh...
-
Oh maaan, this is a nightmare... All presets have to delete and export again? Then ppl can't see it and everyone have to download it again? man, one of my preset have been downloaded about 150 times and i have downloaded over 200 presets .__.
I'm not going to download this before it 's going to be problem to me
But that Lip sync and new markings!!! *droooool* ?______________?
-
So i just uninstall the game then reinstall it?
-
Tigg, perhaps if you're having personal problems, take hiatus and let one of your other trusted staff members handle the updates? (: xo
-
The problem I have is that the game works fine without this new update, but as soon as I download the patch my game crashes when I try and get onto a character. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game many times, I think it must be about 5 times now. Nothing happens, it just keeps crashing.
-
ok i got the game to work ;D and i happy but when i turn on Lipsync and talk in local it wont work >:(
-
Tigg, perhaps if you're having personal problems, take hiatus and let one of your other trusted staff members handle the updates? (: xo
Yah i would, but even if i need a break, i feel too much boundet and responsible for important things. I guess thats one of my problems x,x
Anyways, i feel better now, but i would be happy if the next update comes in a looong time ^^"
-
Thanks for updating the torrent, whoever did it. <3 -will update the game later- And then we will see if I get any problems. ;-;
-

Holy cow, lip sync!

(Thanks guys for the update)

There are no new markings ... There isn't any mention of new markings in anything I've read thus far. This patch was simply created to close the hacking loopholes (I stand corrected about the markings, though I never saw them in 1.06)
I'm actually rather disappointed because it feels to me as if this patch was half arsed to quickly solve a hacking issue and not completely planned out. There shouldn't be a need to backtrack and scramble to find fixes for the ENTIRE game .... Perhaps it's just me but shouldn't patches fix problems and not create twice as many problems as they were intended to solve?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a coder or a programmer, and I'm POSITIVE this stuff takes a lot of know how and work so I hate sounding ungrateful, but I come to Feral Heart to destress and all of a sudden I've got a ton of work and research to do just to help my wife play the game and custom map files.
-
Sorry if your some of the few 50+ people having issues out of the thousands who actually followed instructions and got it right the first time.
I can only suggest uninstalling the game completely and reinstalling it again, as this has been said 50+ times aswell.
And there are new markings as of 1.05 ( but 1.06 was only 2 days apart from it..).
Not only did this patch fix hacking issues, but now make-making is %500 easier as you don't have to send ever single seperate file for sky, meshes and etc.
This game is still a Work in Progress so expect changes for the better. We are lucky to even have updates after such a long period of time since release.
so good day.
-
I've, personally, never made a map, so I'm glad that things are easier for those who do. And perhaps my post sounded more ungrateful/rude than I originally intended it to be. I've seen dozens of posts from people experiencing problems that are still experiencing problems even after following those steps. My laptop won't even handle the game with the new patch update anymore where as before it worked 'mostly' well (still not great but it's a crappy computer).
I had to completely fix all my windows start-up last night after FH crashed the computer for the third time. It almost feels like it's corrupting my files but that shouldn't even be possible :P Forgive me for being a bit upset about the shortcoming of the new patch .... I'll applaud the strengths instead.
The Lipsynch feature is absoulutely amazing. It's very entertaining to type up something in local and watch your creature speak it after you hit enter. If map exporting is as easy as you say it is then Kudo's! Everyone likes things to be more simple and I'm sure there are many many people out there that are very grateful to be able to do things in less steps. I can 100% honestly say I have seen NO new markings, perhaps I'm just blind?? I even went looking for them ....... I'm glad you guys were able to close the gap about the hacking. I know when I spend hours and days and weeks making something wonderful and somebody piggy backs off my work without permission I'm extremely upset. Hopefully you're able to stay ahead of the hacking, wish you good luck on that note.

How do you download it?
"Official Downloads"
-have you been looking around?
-
Though the Map Maker exporter is terribly moody for me, I really appreciate the Exporter additions for the Map Maker. Especially now that I don't have to send every little thing - very much a relief.
And all the bugs it fixes, thank you so much!
It would be nice if there could be more markings in the future, but I hope for more manes, really. The ones added this time are two body markings, and a few head markings - so... I'm somewhat happy, and am using one of the new head and body markings on a new character. XD

actually i figured out what was wrong with mine and how to fix it! if it doesnt work just in case make a backup file OUT of the FH folder
1. go to C:/FeralHeart/Exports
2.Make a backup file somewhere in the D drive somewhere AWAY from the FH folder
3.Delete all the contents of the original Exports file NOT the copied one
hope this works ^_^

Oh, yes, I'd like some more manes too. Preferrably a "horse's mane" that could be on both sides of the head and neck. Might help out those who use full manes as head hair for female characters xD
-
Do you have to keep the last patches and THEN download this new one? Because I deleted the last patch from Version 1.02 to 1.03, and then downloaded this 1.06 one. But I don't see anything new! What's wrong??? D:

To see the newest markings I have made for the game, scroll all the way to the bottom of the head and body marking sections. There should be at least two or three new markings for you to choose from.
