Title: Exe. file & Preset Uploading
Post by: Aleixity101 on March 29, 2020, 05:13:51 pm

I have a Chromebook, and I know how to download and play feral heart on this but I need to know if there is a way for me to open the exe. file. I need to upload my preset that I made but I don't see how to if I can't open the file. If there is another way for me to upload my preset please let me know.

The way presets are uploaded is through the internet (sites such as mediafire, dropbox, or google drive), not the game itself. You go to one of those sites and upload your .fhp file to an account there, then you can get the link for the download of that file and put that link somewhere others can find it.

When I was downloading Feral Heart, I didn't know about presets. Mabye download some of it from MediaFire. I did it and now everything is ok.

If you're referring to exporting and using the preset, here's some steps for you:

1. Create your preset, make sure all files are named correctly and placed in their ideal folder in Feralheart / my_presets / whatever number preset you're using.
2. Once that's done, head in-game and click on Creative Den on the main title screen, and then Preset Maker.
3. Here, you click on the top bar of the character creator where you'd adjust the colours of the character, and you'll see the presets tab as you do in the main character creation screen.
4. Click on the preset number your preset is under, and if all is well with it, click Export.
5. Once that's done, it'll let you know that it's been exported into Feralheart / presets as a .fhp file.
6. Head in game, click on the preset you want to use, and enjoy.

But I also see you're mentioning the .exe file, which I'm assuming you're talking about FH itself. What kind of troubles are you having when you attempt to open the game? I'm inexperienced with the workings of Chromebook, but I'll try to help best I can with the limited knowledge I've accumulated over the years.

Chromebook doesn't run any exe files but it does have add one that does help with running it so that's why I can play feral heart. Since it can't run exe files, it can't open them either. I know how to put my preset in the game. I just don't know how to get it in there if I can't open the file and put it in the game. Is there any other way for me to get it in there?

Unfortunately, when it comes to Linux/Chromium based operating systems, running applications like Feral Heart isn't possible without the use of WINE or a similar application. That being said, using WINE or a similar application will allow you to actually open the game. Specifically for ChromeOS, I did some digging and found this post on the forum that might help you further: https://feral-heart.com/smf/index.php?topic=65543.0

From there, once you've got that setup and working, should be able to load up the preset under Tools on the main menu, and export it.

Good luck :D

Thank you, I have been playing for a while now with this, despite some loading problems. I just have to keep playing I guess. It works fine I just need to figure out how to open the feral heart file, place the images in preset_3 and then I can go into tools and do that. The feral heart file is an exe file so that's why I'm having trouble with it. Can you find a way for me to open or read an exe file.

I feel like you have it a little confused. If you're just trying to access the Feral Heart FOLDER, then go under where you installed Feral Heart to. From there, you can access your preset folder by:

(where ever you installed it) > FeralHeart > my_presets > preset_3 (in this case)

If you can open the game, then an executable extension isn't what you're looking for. You're looking for the GAME FOLDER.

Another thing to look out for, while making presets or adding preset image files to the game, is the little ".material" file that's in the preset_x folder. In that, you may have to make edits to the image file extensions within that .material file, so it'll actually see the image files and overlay them onto the character model. For example:

Say you have a .png but your .material only reads .jpg ---> Open the .material file in notepad and change the file extension so it reads to .png, it'll read the image files now.

I also misspoke about it being under 'Tools'. It'll actually be under a tab called "Creative Den" on the main menu, and once you click that, it'll show you a few editors. "Preset Maker" is the one you want.

Hope that helps :)

I don't see the folder, I installed it on downloads and I just see a zip folder and when I click it the exe file shows up.It's three of the same folders like that. Do I need to delete feral heart and redo everything? It's failing to connect the front server anyways.

Hi! Could you possibly screenshot what you're seeing so we're able to have a better understanding of the issue?? I'm a bit confused so bear with me here, but have you tried right clicking the FeralHeart icon on your desktop and clicking "Open file location"?

That's the thing. I don't have a desktop. I use Chromebook, and I found a way to play feral heart on here. I wanted to put my preset for my personal use on the game but I can't find the folder to put it in since the file downloaded is an exe file and Chromebooks don't run exe files. The feral heart folder is the thing I don't see, but I do see this zip folder that appears 3 times.Anyways, is there another way I can put my preset on the game for my personal use?
(sorry I was just testing out the codes, lol. Also even when I played back then I never posted on the form and I don't know how to upload images)
