Meshes / Animal Madness!
« on: June 12, 2016, 03:06:28 pm »
I have neglected to place my Animal meshes here for a very long time, and I think it right to give you these meshes to use on maps. I've worked hard on each pack, so I hope you enjoy them.
somebody want to know where you got these meshes from? Link here or to the DeviantArt page provided, DO NOT link directly to mediafire, even in Credits.
ELK
Link: ELK on Deviant Art
Elk is the first in the animal series and contains 12 elk meshes each with unique poses.
WABBIT WABBIT WABBIT
Link: WABBIT WABBIT WABBIT on deviant Art
Wabbit Wabbit Wabbit is the second in the series and contains hare/rabbit meshes for people to use and came shortly after Elk. It contains seven unique models to be used. There are some glitches and imperfections with the model, and I don't recommend using 'alert' as it has been known to crash games, however, I am unable to fix these issues.
SEEING STRIPES
Link: Seeing Stripes on Deviant Art
Seeing Stripes is the third in the series and the first to use I.T animals. It contains 16 unique models to be used. Extra work was put in by me to make sure the models were posed accurately, this included extra bones in the hooves to be posed.
WAR OF THE RAPTORS
Link: War of the Raptors on Deviant Art
War of the Raptors is the fourth in the series and contains 6 unique models with the ability to choose the skin of either an Osprey or Red Tailed Hawk from I.T. Some modling work and extra rigging went into making these poses, making them slightly different to IT models. the Perched models are unrealistic and i was able to pose the bird's wings in such a way that would seem realistic.
WILDEBEEST
Link: Wildebeest on Deviant Art
Wildebeest is the fifth in the series and contains 13 unique models. some glitches are in the models themselves with warping and stretching of textures and the model, I cannot fix this currently.
GAZELLES GALORE
Link: Gazelles Galore on Deviant Art
Gazelles Galore is the Sixth and currently last in the series, containing 12 unique models. some warping in the meshes, especially the legs may be seen, however this is not something I can fix currently.
Q&A:
Can I use these in my map?
Yes- that's what I made them for
Can I re-skin these?
Only the IT ones, which are easy to re-skin, I'm not sure if the rabbit and Elk textures can be re-skinned all that easily
Can you do x animal?
probably not at the moment
Can you do x animal from IT?
I only have three available animals that I can pose left, the Elephant, Giraffe and Penguin chick, I have no access to any others.
Can I include these in a pack?
Not without my permission, ALWAYS ASK FIRST.
Why can't I link directly to mediafire? it's easier
It may be easier for consumers of the meshes, but it wipes out the creator's name and it gets lost and uncredited and then no one cares who made them or what rules they enforced so they treat them as their own creations.

Game Help / Feral Heart won't let me change rendering subsystem
« on: February 25, 2016, 02:28:01 am »
I recently changed computer and packed all my FH stuff into a Memory stick.
I downloaded and installed Feral Hearts and proceeded to move everything (Shaders/EMBs, objects, items, markings, presets, maps, exports, animations etc) to the new Feral Heart folder.
I booted Feral Heart up, and turned my subsystem to Direct3D9 and restarted. Only the little text-box befoe FH starts came up, flashed and went with Feral Heart not open, when I opened Feral Hearts, the subsystem was back to OpenGL and won't change without not running Feral Hearts. Is there a fix to this? or have I installed Feral Hearts incorrectly?
the log in the FeralHearts folder says:
"full path: C:\FeralHeart\
redirecting CreateDevice
initialising shader environment
unable to create depthStencilSurface (hr=-2005530516)
D3DXCreateEffectFromFile failed
C:\FeralHeart\d3d9.fx(72,10): error X1507: failed to open source file: 'SweetFX\Shaders\SMAA.h'"
I've never had this problem before- even with the countless mods I've downloaded and made.

Character & Roleplay Tutorials / How To Be A... (Added How to be a Horse)
« on: February 16, 2016, 02:47:35 am »
A series I have started on my tumblr: GoldchocoboFH.tumblr.com
In my series, I give rundowns on how each species acts, looks and any notable behaviors.
So far I have covered 8 groups:
- Dinosaurs (5 genus covered: Velociraptors, Utahraptor, Deinonychus, Microraptor and Tyrannosaurus rex, as well as a few short note on 'misc' species.)
- Dogs (with some wolf behaviors and knowledge).
- 'Panthers' covering Leopards and Jaguars and how they may look with Melanism.
- Birds- three family groups covered, a few specific species.
- Crocodiles and Alligators.
- Lions
- Hyenas
- Red Foxes
- Horses and Zebra
Each How to be A is researched by me, I try to put in interesting true facts in each post, so you know that every animal can be as exciting as a wolf or a lion. I try to link as many videos and pictures in, but tumblr has a limit on how many videos I can post- which I found out on the bird episode. However- use this series as a springboard into your own research; if you're serious about making a character that's an animal you don't know about- research that animal! it's not hard, and it can be fun to learn things instead of making your hyena character dominantly male and then being shouted at and told your wrong.
Here are the specific links:
How to Be A Dinosaur (needs some information updating but is overall correct, I may re-do this one as it was my first)
How to Be A Dog
How to Be A Panther
How to Be A Bird
How to Be A Crocodylia
How to Be A Lion
How to be A Hyena
How to be A Fox
How to be A Horse
I have a very loose schedule and I know what I'm doing. Any suggestions are welcome.
This post will be updated once a new 'How to be A' is made, check back regularly for updates!

Game Help / Small Preset Trouble
« on: January 30, 2016, 12:47:02 am »
It's not too big, but I recently made and exported a preset and gave the link out to the group I'm in. someone downloaded it, and put it in the right place, but they can't see my preset. they've logged in and out and restarted the game entirely. This wouldn't be too odd, but I'm the exact same, I downloaded their preset last night, but even today when I've closed down FH, and turned off my computer, I still can't see their preset.
I don't know why this is happening or if anyone else is experience the same thing.
Does anyone know if it's to do with the new server log-in style?
