Does anyone know how to get the old maps working in 1.15?

[Kwibjo]

Hey everyone!

I'm trying to port the older Feral Heart maps into the Unity Engine but I need to go on them for reference. I've tried directly copying over the maps from the old version as well as all the objects and other assets but when I try going to any map that isn't Lonely Cave or Cape of Distant Worlds the map loads but I can't get the loading screen to disappear.

See here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqKAqRQWeKs
Don't mind the blinding white, I tried replacing the loading screen images with completely transparent images but they don't render correctly and show up as white.

Has anyone managed to get them to work yet or am I stuck only on the new maps? Any help would be greatly appreciated since I miss the game dearly but the new maps aren't the same...

What has been stated above is true. But, if ye can find the height maps to them, ye can make y'er own Flourite and so forth. I'm not certain ye can get them in the old FH files, but it doesn't hurt to look.

I have the heightmaps for fluorite and bonfire/lonely cave but heightmaps are only half of the problem. I still need to know where everything is placed in the map which right now I can only do by viewing it in game unless someone knows a way to extract the information out of .fhm files. But I don't think that's in the realm of possibility since they are encrypted in some way. D:

Ah, yeah. Sadly, I don't think that's possible.

It may be the long way, but try searching through the "Screenshots" board. Maybe ye can get an idea if where everything went by putting the screenies together like a puzzle.

How did you get the old podium to display properly?

Since the podium map file is still located in the new FH folder, ye can replace it with whatever map file ye want as long as 'tis named the same. That's sort of like taking The Grounds and replacing it with a different map file. Don't do that though, because ye could cause some serious damage to y'er game. ;3

^That sounds like a nightmare to me xD

But anyway, try looking at Videos from early on. Maybe someone created a cinematic of the maps or something that you could look at as a guide for making the objects or something *shrugs*

The rocks don't show.  Neither do most trees.  And old cape portal doesn't seem to go anywhere.
And in the past i've tried swapping map names of files but it doesn't work, they appear to have the true names encrypted inside and the file names externally are simply for handling by humans.  Hence why the old maps can't even be moved to "Exports" and show at the cape.

You need to move over /media/objects/fhObjects.fho to the new version since it uses objects from that file.
