I can't make maps

Is this a glitch. This isn't fair. I can't see the palm trees or the wood in the background. Even though I put it all there. What's the point in making maps if you have no meshes to do it with.

I'm not experienced with map making, but here's some quotes I've found related to the issue:

Do they have their own object groups? Besides Default, MyRocks, MyTrees, etc?
They must be in their own object group that you create for them to work right in-game.
In object maker, you can load a mesh, and save it to a non-existing group, and it will create that group for you. c:


Perhaps they didn't export correctly. Try going into map maker and exporting again. Sometimes when it's going through all the object files it says "Example has not been found". Keep track of the object files that don't export correctly and manually go into your FH folder>objects and drag the object files that didn't export into your exports folder>whatever your map is.

Hope these help somewhat.

No everything you just said doesn't even make sense because I am not getting errors that say it's not found.

Try deleting any default object group files you have in your exports folder. It's possible a map that you installed is conflicting with the newer default object groups or that your map failed to export properly. And for the first test, don't export your map. So delete your map's .fhm file in exports as well. As long as the map is in the terrains folder, you will see it in Cape without needing to export it.

Default object groups include the files (in exports folder):
Backdrop.fho
Collisions.fho
Default.fho
Miscellaneous.fho
MyGrass.fho
MyMountains.fho
MyParticles.fho
MyPlants.fho
MyRocks.fho
MyShapes.fho
MySounds.fho
MyStructures.fho
MyTrees.fho
MyWater.fho


If deleting the files works (don't forget to also delete the .fhm file, then you're going to want to re-export your map.

I'll go ahead and lock this now. c:
