Feral Heart

I've been informed that the map runs fine, though two or three people have told me it can crash quite a bit.  It's a hit or miss with this one.  For this reason, I'll be making a second version of the map that is more lag/crash friendly-- it'll just take away some of the extra giant rocks and sound effects.  Thank you!

"And while I am not sure how the little island came to be, it is undoubtedly bursting with life.  It's green grass, brambles and trees overgrow even the oldest of ruins and rocks.  And the waves around it crash against it's rocky shores...  Treigthe, a miracle."

I've been meaning to put out a new public map for quite some time now.  I created Rovaniik and Amorwind and Konkiraan long ago, and frankly I don't even think their boards are up and around anymore.  I wanted to bring something newer around.

Treigthe here is a little map that consists of only default meshes and retextures of them- which you are free to use, with credit.
I ASK THAT BEFORE COMMENTING YOU READ THE READ ME.  It addresses everything from texture bugs, to how to install, to the weird DS_store file bug thing, the maps rules/terms, and things of the like.  If you genuinely don't understand the read me or it doesn't address your question, please don't hesitate to PM me or comment below, I don't bite.

THE READ ME (in case it doesn't come in the download for some reason? ? ? ?  ) IS LISTED BELOW THE PREVIEWS.  They will take a moment to load up, big image.



READ ME -- ALSO SHOULD BE FOUND IN THE DOWNLOAD.

***** INSTRUCTIONS AND LAG HELP BELOW. ******

YES, YOU CAN….**
- Own an RP in here and RP anywhere in the map.
- Hold private or exclusive RPs.
- Or just download to hang out and look around.
- Use my textures if you credit user leda on feral heart, rookfox on deviant art.  I do make most of the textures used, so credit is appreciated.
- call Treigthe whatever you’d like in your RP, or keep it’s name.  You wanna call it Big Green Hill place in your character’s world? Go for it.  You wanna base an entire RP off the name Treigthe? Also go for it.

NO, YOU CAN’T…**
- RP in general with other people in the map.
- act as though the map was designated for you and your RP/friends
- be generally inconsiderate
- try to kick people out or force them to RP with your group just cause they’re in your way.


IF  YOU RUN INTO A SITUATION WHERE TWO GROUPS WANT THE SAME CAMP…**
The first come first serve rule will come into play.  Or you can come to an agreement, check out the other camp if it’s open, etc.  It’s however the leaders would like to compromise, but if one is not reached then I’d like to maintain first come first serve.
I’ve had past RPs simply block the other while they were RPing, or have a schedule, it really is up to you IF it even comes down to that.

NORMAL FH RULES SHOULD BE FOLLOWED.**

NOW FOR THE INSTRUCTIONS !! YAY!!**
- Open up the download folder.  The .jpg and .png files should go under MEDIA > TERRAINS > TEXTURES*, MEDIA > TEXTURES*, AND MEDIA > MATERIALS*.
- .material files should go under MEDIA > MATERIALS
- All remaining files like .fho and .fhm go under FERALHEART > EXPORTS*
- IF YOU FIND A FILE CALLED DS_STORE OR MACOSX, JUST DELETE IT.  They’re harmless files, I promise.  They’re just extra files my mac gives off when sharing something with a windows computer.  They do not belong in the FH folders and are just a log file that can be swiftly removed.


LAG/CRASHING HELP***
Crashing or lagging?  Keep reading.
- To try and reduce lag, log in and go in game.  Press the esc button, then options.  Then press video.  Click on view distance, turn it all the way down.  Next, click on reflections (still under the video menu) and turn them off.
- Also from the video menu, you can click on “Rendering System” and try a different system.  From my personal experience, OpenGL crashes more but lags less and Direct3D9 crashes less but lags more.

WHITE OBJECTS, MISSING TEXTURES***
This can happen when files aren’t placed correctly or if you have recently gotten a new map and that map interfered with this one.
Your best bet would be to redownload this map and place ALL material files and image files under MEDIA > OBJECTS > MY_OBJECTS* then MEDIA > TEXTURES* and finally MEDIA > MATERIALS*.
If the ground seems to be white or black and yellow, make sure that the following files are placed under MEDIA > TERRAINS > TEXTURES* : Gravels.jpg, DirtRock.jpg, and MediumGrass.jpg


Lastly, please give credit if used for an RP.  Again my in game user is leda and my dA (where I also take map and texture commissions, wink wonk) is Rookfox.
Enjoy !

hey, Grave here.

I was using my mac as any other day and turned it off as I was leaving for a while.  It showed no signs of having any troubles or needing a back up.  Came back to work on it again, it shut down every time at the login menu.  Luckily, it would open recovery mode, which basically told me the only option was to wipe it clean, no back up options.
Let this be a lesson, BACK UP YOUR COMPUTER! Even if it seems totally fine right now.  If it's got something important on it, at least compress that stuff and upload it somewhere!
Five years of stuff, gone!

SIGHS, well anyways, that's not really what I'm here to say obviously.

I had probably three thousand mesh files that well, are ALL gone now.  I don't really want to break my back looking for them all by myself again.
I was just wondering if anyone could suggest meshes that they find useful/pretty to me here.  I want to map make again, but I don't think I could gather the motivation to try and hunt everything I was using down again.  I know, this is likely rather lazy of me, I'm just totally bummed out.

Primarily nature meshes, but I'll likely download any suggestions.  Please help me out if you have a hot second to spare!  It would be enormously appreciated.

hello hello!  Welcome to Sparrow's Nest!
This is a primarily default map with only four additional objects and a default grass edit.  That said, for any of you who are prone to lag and or crashing, this might be a neat little map to have. (:
Sparrows Nest contains one add on map called Hawkwater, and a few different realistic den sites and plenty of places to hang out and role play.
heres some previews for ya!






My only requests are...
- Read the Help.txt, mesh credits are there and it tells ya how to install!
- If used for an RP, which you are welcome to do, please credit me!
- Normal feralheart rules apply, so please respect everyone you come across and do not claim my map or a part of my map!

Questions, concerns, or comments?  Private message me here, or comment below.
Keep in mind this is only my side/forum account.  My main in game account is now (only) penelee!

IM SO EMBARASSED RIGHT NOW THE PAGE TIMED OUT (as it always does) AND I POSTED THIS THREE TIMES RIP ME.

STAFF PLEASE DELETE THE OTHER TWO THREADS IM SO SORRY

hey there, I actually made the Amorwind and Rovaniik map packs on my Vivacious account.  I've since stopped using that account.
I wanted to try and share something again, and I had this map pack laying around.

I made an extensive, about 11 map mapped pack for an RP that fell through.  It is a shame for all of that hard work to lay to waste, so here I am uploading it to the public.  I hope you all enjoy.
please be sure to read and respect the rules.  Instructions on how to install as well as a "lag guide" can be found in the read me txt file.
If further problems occur, my PM here is open at any time.

KRASNOVAAR'S REACHES....
"The higher mountains are covered in both ash and snow, with thick forest all around.  They consume much of the moisture that the lower lands would need to survive, which has resulted in a dead expanse of desert known as Sendaar.  Others simply call it the dead lands.  All we know is to not venture too far from Krasnovaar's mainlands, where the prey runs just fine, where it is almost always winter."



















[/i]
- There are four camps in the entire map pack and they are first come first serve.  If you see no activity from a group in the camp for at least 4 days, it means they're too inactive to claim it and they can take it for themselves.
- You cannot claim the map.  People want to explore.  The polite thing to do is just ask if they can not interrupt your role play.  Please respect peoples RP sessions, do not try to take an already claimed camp.
- You do not have to use the plot I've written out for the lands, but yes, you are free to.  If you wanna say Krasnovaar is actually some lost kingdom or something I don't really care, it's up to your imagination what Kras is to you.
- I have the right to close this thread and the download if claiming occurs.  Please don't ruin the fun for everyone else.
- Please do not ask me for assistance until you've looked over the read me.



This is because "the map" is actually a pack of about 11 maps?? or so. Do you really want to download 11 maps, along with their objects, textures and sounds at once? No.
So the "main" download, the FIRST HALF only includes the mainland and an add on cave called Brinefall. It also includes the objects, sounds and textures for those maps. So first half= essentials.
The SECOND HALF of the download includes the rest of the maps and THEIR objects. YOU CAN GET THE SECOND HALF WHENEVER YOU WANT OR NEED IT. It is only in two halves to save you the time and effort on installing maps that you don't even need.

SO IN SHORT, ONLY DOWNLOAD THE FIRST HALF.
WHEN YOU ARE READY FOR THE ADD ON MAPS, DOWNLOAD THE SECOND HALF.


First Half: www.mediafire.com/download/bnwm8zn5vbytmcq/Krasnovaar+P1.zip


Second Half: www.mediafire.com/download/2jayhapz5s9paha/Krasnovaar+P2.zip


Instructions and lag help can be found in the read me of the download.  Please be sure to read it, or you're going to end up with bumble bee grounds, missing objects, or even crashing.
