Feral Heart

.//claps

Back at it again with the Mac tutorials eh, Shay? Good for you. Surely this will help a new generation of newbies and their Macs.

Perhaps there is an issue in the material coding of the default canine manes. Not entirely sure how it could have changed as you said you hadn't tinkered with the files at all, but just to be safe.

Go into FeralHeart>media>materials and find the cmain.material file. Here you'll find code. Make your life easier with Ctrl+F to find the word mane. This will direct you to what makes the mane work...it should look like this, if it doesn't, copy and paste it in!
material CmaneMat
{
transparency_casts_shadows off
receive_shadows off
technique 1
{
pass
{
cull_hardware none
cull_software none
alpha_rejection greater_equal 128

fragment_program_ref Mane_PS
{

}
texture_unit
{

}

{

}

}
}

}
}

texture_unit
{

}
}
}
}Now, there are two separate instances here, CmaneMat and CmaneMat2. Paste and replace over both of those, if appropriate.

One more thing to check, go to your masks folder (FeralHeart>media>textures>masks) and look for your mane textures. They are labeled as fmaneMask.png and fmaneMask2.png. Make sure these files are .png and not .jpg. Seems like the blockiness can be caused by lack of transparency.

If this doesn't work, then... install these back-up default FeralHeart files, for your material file here.

Hope I could have helped!

I don't play any other servers but I was interested in Primitive Call for a while. I played a little bit of Cereal Soup as well. I am not sure if PC is still active or not but giving them a look up might be an option! As for any others, I have never played.

Primitive Call is still in development. ^w^

Other things that are in development, still are of course Cereal Soup (released on Steam) and Impressive World. Not to be confused with the IT server, of course, which is no longer running.

You said it better than I ever could. Even though I am a veteran myself, I never thought bad of the new maps. I was only upset that they removed the old ones lol.

Thank you for providing your words in the matter. Nice to see fellow veterans crawl out of the woodwork.
