i downloadet it, was happy <3 but now its all strange. I cant log in and in the distand world map was water everywhere (where the others stil sit around and i was swimming xD )
But thank you anyways ^^ Long time since i was in feralheart and i was shocked by all the new maps xD

Try removing the 1_13_CapeOfWorlds map. I don't know if that is what was causing it or not, but it is possible, as I had the same issue. Decided to test the idea and didn't removed that, and the now current Cape doesn't have that issue.

Also, to the uploader, dude, thanks. Really glad ya did this. I kinda geeked out when I saw Ascension Island. A buddy of mine and I used to always race each other to the top.

Whoops, I was meant to remove the 1.13 Cape from the pack before I uploaded it since you can't get to it from the old maps anyway. Fixed now.

Due to some of my friends complaining of virus intervention, I made a media-fire download.

Hmm... That shouldn't be happening since everything is being hosted on Google which should be seen as a safe website and it's just a .zip file. I'm guessing some antiviruses such as Norton Mcafee are being far too overly protective. :/

Do the media files include the old platforming rocks from the previous patch? If so, I might just download the media folder to use those old assets in some maps of mine.

It does include the object files however, they are packed into .fho files so you can't use them in the 1.15 editor.

If there was someone with a character that had it's home at skys rim and could possiby be sent there would that help you in your quest?

Absolutely it would, but as far as I know all the characters were reset back to their home in Lonely Cave when 1.15 was released.

So, what you're saying it that if someone had a character that was headed to one of the maps that you're missing, there's information that is created while in the loading screen? Or?

And yeah, Ascension Island and Sky Rim are a plus, if you can get ahold of them too. I believe Ascension has the same height map as Bonfire but from what it sounds like, is that you need more data of the map.

Sorry, I'm terrible at explaining things. XD

I'm pretty sure I've already broken some rule by even making this map pack, so I'll try to keep the process to how I get heightmaps simple.

Basically, as soon as you go into a portal the map is loaded while at the same time (or maybe after) your game tries to tell the game server you've entered said map. However, since the admins have blocked people from going to the old 1.13 maps, after you go through the portal your game will time out and you get an error message saying you've lost connection to the server.

But if you don't click on the reconnect or quit options the map and its information is still loaded in memory and you can extract it with the right tools. For example, here I've gone from lonely cave to Ascension Island and even though I'm not actually on the map I can still browse its contents.



However, unlike community made maps the ones that shipped with 1.13 have some kind of block that prevents you from creating a map in the editor and pointing its destination to one of the maps that aren't connected to Lonely Cave.




So, unless someone knows how to bypass this and make the game load the 1.13 maps through one created in the editor, I don't think it's possible to get the remaining maps unless the admins remove the restriction.
