Custom Map Crashes

[Haruki]

Hello again. Same person, many crashes and errors. My bad. ^^

So in light of the server revamp, all of my custom maps close out on me upon entering or start up with the "feral heart.exe has stopped working" error and then craps out. This is happening on all custom maps across the board, old and new, yet the public maps are strong and healthy.

Any help? Am I the only one with this issue?

This has been happening to me to.

The only way I know how to fix it, is to wait for a server restart.
I dunno when the next one may be though, probaly not too long~.

I see. Has your problem gone away yet? Mine is still alive and well.

And, as it turns out, the problem extends to map maker as well. Getting into my maps in map maker is rare, but exporting is a certain punishment by "feralheart.exe" error. I would like to uninstall feralheart and reinstall to see if that could help or at least retrieve stuck characters, but I fear losing over two years' work. Is there any help?

It can happen & are you sure you don't have particle copies & that your aren't missing any files?

This happened to me some days ago, I re-exported and it all worked just fine. But, if the problem persists a server restart may be the answer.

It could be the terrain files, you need to make sure it doesn't have the alpha mask thing on

Glad to know it wasn't just my map causing you problems.

You're afraid of losing your things; back.them.up.

Create copies of ALL the files you want to keep, that way you can place them back in. This includes the map making files in the terrain folder, presets, and customobject/mesh groups.

Otherwise; reinstalling will solve your problem.

I looked through my files, all were present and none were copied. That's not the issue, I don't think.

Alpha Mask is turned off for the terrain file. Regardless, I only have control over two of the map's terrain images because I made them, all the other custom maps I couldn't change. That doesn't seem to be it.

Looks like I'm uninstalling and reinstalling. Thank you, Cloudfish (and no, its YOUR MAPS FAULT D< ) I'll back everything up. I just have this lingering fear since I had tried to transfer a lot of my files from my old computer to my new laptop and things just wouldn't work no matter how perfect I got them and preserved them. But there's no use fussing over something I might lose forever if I can't even use them now. I'll update if it works for all others trying to solve this issue too.

[Haruki]

No bueno. Same issue, persistant lil' bugger.

Solution: Your new laptop is inept. Return to the olde and faithful.

But really; have you changed rendering systems maybe? Tried the other... I think I told you to do that the other night, so that may not work or be of any help.

Sounds like the problem users get when they've placed a file wrong, like the fhm. file, but we tried placing the custom everywhere too. Do all the other maps you've tried have custom sky files?
