Feral Heart

You cant make it work. The patch makes the game crash. There is at the moment no way to make it back to normal.

It wont help reinstalling the game.
It wont help using another computer or operating system.
FH+ wont work also.

The patch is simply not working.
All you can do for now is to stay patient and wait for the fix.

Okay, Another Update of the Game. It fixes the Export Glitches of the Last Patch.

At the Moment Windows only.

Information:

Who should download what?

NEW Player who DONT have the Game already Installed: The Game Setup, Patch not needed!

Player who already play the Game: You JUST need the Patch!

Newings

The Exporter now exports the Presetfiles and Mapfiles -safe-. They were be able to open with a zip Programm earlier, its now not possible anymore.

________________________________________________________


Presets
When you Install the Patch and you have Presetfiles in your "presets"-Folder, delete them. because the Game will crash otherwise. Delete ALL Preset-Files in "presets".
Yes, you will have to export your Presets -again-. But now they cant be opened by others.

________________________________________________________



Maps and Object-Lists

Okay, this is very important now.
For every Map, do your own Object-List. Load the Meshes into the Object Maker and create, for every Map, an own Object-List.

Why is that needet?

Because the Map-Exporter wont see that you use the same Object Lists for many Maps.

Example:

You build 2 maps, using both Objects from "mytrees.object".
Then, when you export the Maps, the Exporter will export those Object-Lists into the Mapfiles.
You upload the Maps and give them out, with the mytrees.object List.
So, you all know, everyone else has this List too, and maybe others has edited the mytrees.object List with own stuff.

So, the game wont rename the Object Lists for you.

mytrees.object from User A has the usuall content
mytrees.object from User B has different stuff inside, maybe another Tree

So, if you download Maps, having the same Named object lists, they will get REPLACED. That means that you can loose Stuff.

So you downloadet a Map from User B, installed. Everything fine. But then you download from User A and he has the same named Objectlist, but not the same content inside like User B, the Game replaces the Object List from User B with the one from User A and then the stuff from User B is GONE.

So, do for every Map an own Object List!


The Best way to test if your Map will work for others is to export the Map, remove the Map from Terrains and all it contents like Meshes/Materials, Weatherfiles, Skyfiles, Object-Lists. Yes.. not the easiest way but the best way. Everything should work from now on anyways.

Make sure to delete all the old Map Files you had bevore the Patch to 1.06! I mean the Exported Files only!

________________________________________________________


Exporting Meshes with a Map:

Do never name a Material the same way as another!
If you want to edit a Mesh with another Texture, edit the New Code into the already existing Material.

Because the Game can trouble up same named Meshes/Materials and then grabbing the wrong Materials. So obviously the Mesh then wont show up right.

By the way, yes, right now the Mesh should be safe from using by others, no guarantee on that since some Hackers always try to destroy things. You should still be carefull.


-------------


Little Problems comming with Materials being double in your files.

Renaming the .Material wont work since the link to the mesh is inside the .Material File.
You would have to rename the Code itself if it collapses with the same name like another mesh.

Example:

tree1.material -> leavemapple1 code
                     -> mapplebark code

mapple.material -> mappleleave code
                       -> mapplebark code


So the mapplebark code will make problems since its apearing to be twice in your Materials (The Game looks through all Folders, taking the First matching materialcode with opening the materials and looking for it).

3 New Markings for Both Canine and Feline

You will need this to unzip the files: http://www.7-zip.org/



Please note they arent animated, so you cant push them inside your Paw and flipp t hem out again. They will be out everytime.

Ok.. so i made those Claws. And guess what? I made all the work to assign them to the Feline Tufts and some of the Manes. For YOU! Please dont ask about the Tufts and Manes without the Claws. I simply couldnt add them because i dont have those Files.

Anyways. Here you go. Download them at the Forum. How to thank you me? Just make an Post and say thank you at the Thread :3

To install ALL of them:
http://www.mediafire.com/?cn8n6k7o9j43ksw (German Installer <3 from Slycan)

http://www.mediafire.com/?ulnm87vfqc1rcyt (English Installer from Slycan)

Downloadlink to Install them MANUALLY, like just single ones, List of the Meshes to replace is at the end of the Thread: http://www.mediafire.com/?ch0c4kwalq1aw9w

You might take in just a single mane to test which one it is you want to use. Make sure to save your old files first so you can replace them when you dont want Claws anymore.


Instructions:

To insert the Meshes into your Game:

Open FeralHeart Folder.
Open Media.
Open Models

Put everything inside. (Well sure UNPACK / UNZIP them first!)

Done.

Your Claws will have the same color as your Mane/Tuft. Wasnt possible to make it another way, sorry ):




To Show you where the Color of the Claws are:

I choosed this ASrea cause its not used for Tufts or Manes.


Information about Replacing.

fmane2 - Spiky
fmane3 - Forward
fmane4 - Side

Canine Claws



Assigned to the Tails.

ctail1 - Wolftail
ctail2 - Thin Tail
ctail3 - Cat tail
ctail4 - Sickle Tail

Where do i have to put the Files?

Instructions:

Download the File. UNZIP / UNPACK the .zip-File (You might need 7zip <- free)
Open the Unzipped Folder.
Take out the Tail you want to use with Claws.
Replace the Mesh in the Models Folder of FH: FeralHeart -> Media -> Models

(If you want to use normal Mesh without Claws again, make a backup/Safety File of the original FH-File you want to replace!)

Here is the Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?i1gvawaxpfgzxqd


Thats the Place on the Tail-UV where your Claws are:

I will start soon a an Archieve with Scripts for your Presets.

But i want YOUR Help on this!

If you have a Code like Transparent-Texture, Moving Texture or what ever exists, write me a PM and i will insert the Code here so everyone can improove their Presets / Meshes with stunning Codes!

The Second Thread will be updated with the Codes, check every now and then.


Do NOT post the Codes in here! But feel free to write any Suggestions or Requests for Codes in here
