How to make maps in FH map-maker

(1/5) > >>

Emberflame:
I decided to make an easy-to-follow map-making tutorial. Its not done yet, but I have a decent amount up. Post any questions here, and here you go! sad news, guys. My FH has crashed dad's computer for the second time, and now he won't let me play it. maybe I can get him to give it a third chance, but its not likely... Well have to see how the wind blows. ;(

questions already asked:

How you make the objects and why my height map doesn't work?

I dont know how to make them, but you can download tem from others on the "meshes" section of the forum (FH Creations>FH Addons&Mods>Meshes)

You need to save it in C:FH>Media>Terrains


For the meshes, and new objects, how do you get them to work in your objects section? I put them in the folder "My_Objects". And it doesn't show up.

Thats becuase you need to load the in-game. When you put it in My_Objects, open the game, click on Tools>Object Maker. Then put the EXACT name of the object.mesh if you don't do it exact, it will not load. Just save it in any folder you want, and if you want to be able to stand and walk on it, click the checkbox in the upper right corner.


is there a way to invite multiple people to your map? and how?

Yes, there is. I havent made the tutorial yet, and I know little about it myself, but I'm going to learn and then I will put up the tutorial


Since I load it to my friends, blah blah, the new meshes don't show up. How do I make a new group for these objects?

you need to save it in object-maker on the front tab.


how do I make new groups, beyond MyTrees, MyPlants, etc? Like, I wanna make a group named "Downloads". But how?

Simple  all you do is type in a name in the group box that hasn't been used yet, put in the object as well, and wa-la! you have a new group with one object already in it


I am having trouble figuring out how to unpack and use my downloaded items. Where do they go?

all files go in Feralhear>media>objects>My Objects


I can't seem to access the objects in mapmaker?

you need to save them in object-maker.
