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 !

this was so nice ;w; !!

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.

Very nice job on these. Love the colors on the moonstone!

Thank you !! appreciate it

Wasn't sure if I could claim these completely as my own objects, for only the textures are mine and I simply altered the FH meshes (:

But uh, here you go.  Made some stuff with some simple texture making/blending and object placement in the mesh maker.  I hope at least a few people make use of it! (:  Please feel free to alter them as you wish, I only ask you read the read me, do not reupload as your own, and perhaps give a simple shoutout if used?  Thanks, all!

features a high stone with the thick, hanging moss mesh I made attached to it.


most of the objects can be seen here!  As you can see there's some new rocks for ya, some mossy looking undergrowth, new grasses, a rock pile, a woodland fern and a realistic take on the moonstone as well as a blackberry bush.


Berry bush close up.


A mossy rock and some more grass.



have a good night/day, all!!
