Presets & Markings / Wind's Presets (Closed for a short break)
« on: June 15, 2017, 08:28:51 pm »
Hi all, I'm back! I'm getting back into it, since I haven't done these since last summer, but I'm not too rusty anymore. I'm learning a bit of codes so that I can do things like scrolling, translucent, metallic, etc. I'm a beginner as far as preset-related coding goes but I'm generally a fast learner and I've figured out scrolling codes just fine. I haven't tried the other ones yet but they'll probably work just fine, too.

I might not necessarily be able to do ones with certain textures or more complicated/advanced scripts yet, but I'll get there. I might eventually add simple fur textures and nose shine to some of these. The manes will take a bit of time for me to make if y'all want manes that aren't a solid color since I'm still figuring out how to do that.

Honestly I like these the way they are without the fur shader, and other people do too, so I'll be doing all (or most, but so far, all) of these without fur shaders or anything like that. The feathered wings kinda needed the shader, tho, bc otherwise they didn't look so good... If I'm not allowed to use it for a preset tho (or is that just contest ones? idk) just tell me and I'll take it off the wings, or make my own, simpler, one.

Anyway here's the examples:

Rain (canine)
https://ibb.co/eb3BYQ
https://ibb.co/eTJvtQ
https://ibb.co/iEkEnk
https://ibb.co/mVDjnk

Download: Will add a new one after I fix him. I noticed a small spot where I didn't fully color his fur in, and it looks weird. It'll be an easy fix, tho.

Ember (winged canine)

Siku (winged canine)
His name means 'ice'. He's literally an inverted version of Ember but he looks amazing and he's still my favorite preset.

Winged canine with monarch butterfly markings and colors

Rainbow Scrolling Canine #1 (WIP; almost done)
Basically Rain but with rainbow scrolling markings. Undecided on his hair color, and it's glitching (showing up textureless for no apparent reason) anyway so I can't even choose yet. But I'll either leave it white, make it grey like Rain's hair, or make it rainbow like the second rainbow canine's is.

Rainbow Scrolling Canine #2 (winged - WIP; almost done)
Basically Ember but with rainbow scrolling markings, rainbow hair, and rainbow wings. All I gotta do is fix his back legs and he'll be good to go.
With grey mane:

With rainbow mane:
https://ibb.co/hc3bv8

Possible ideas
- Green, grey, black, and white color scheme
- Feline versions of Ember and Siku
- Brown wolf with glowy amber markings
- White wolf with aurora markings, probably with scrolling and maybe with translucency, too
- Gold-tan lion with royal purple markings, maybe gradient going into pink
- Sunset color schemes
- Seawing-inspired creature with glowing markings
- Icewing-inspired creature with mane that looks like ice spikes
- Semi-translucent, scrolling, water creature, possibly winged
- Semi-translucent ice creature, possibly winged (possibly with very slowly scrolling ice bubble markings, or something, and he'll hopefully have a shiny glassy texture if I can figure out how to code it...maybe a similar technique to the one used to code a metallic texture, with a translucent code layered over it, and a scrolling code sandwiched between the two? I'll have to see how it turns out and make it up as I go; I'm fairly new to coding but I can learn more as I go)
- Earth element creature, with a mixture of rocky greys and browns, glowing markings...like cracks in the rock?, a crystal mane and tufts, and glowing and/or crystal eyes. I'll probably make this in all kinds of colors, and I'll make all of these public for people to use
- Sky-themed creatures...for various times of day and night; they'll include things like translucence, glowing stars, slowly scrolling clouds, very slowly scrolling moon phases, etc
- Creatures inspired by deep-sea creatures; the variety and glowing markings will make for some really cool stuff
- Creatures inspired by different types of birds
- Biome/region/climate themed creatures; desert, coast, boreal forest, mountain, etc. For example, the desert one could have a cactus or tumbleweed mane, the coast one could have scrolling wave markings on a sandy background with little shells and stuff on it, the boreal forest one could look like a hybrid of creatures that live in a boreal forest and it may or may not have a snowy pine-needle mane, and the mountain one will be a bit like a combination of a mountain lion and an eagle with pale blue eyes like the sky you see when you're high up on a mountain peak
- Creatures inspired by different types of plants (trees, cacti, succulents, flowers, you name it)
- Creatures inspired by different types of minerals
- Creatures inspired by different kinds of clouds or weather...as weird as this one sounds, it could be fun, and it's definitely something unique (cumulus one could be white and fluffy looking, stratus one might have scrolling rain markings or lightning wings, cirrus one could be all wispy and translucent in most places)
- Constellation-inspired creatures, or star- or space-themed creatures in general
- Solar and lunar creatures
- Metal creatures
- Gemstone creatures
- Bat (canine model with bat wings) and bat-like creatures

Creatures means it could be anything...canine, feline, something else, whatever. I'll try to make both a canine and feline version of every one of these ideas, and I'll make most, or all, of them public for anyone to use. Please feel free to vote/suggest which ones yall would like to see first! I'd love to get working on them. And if you guys have other idea, feel free to suggest them! I'll try my best to make whatever people want to see. :3

Ideas To-Do
Requests have first priority but I'll list the ideas people most want to see here.
- Sunset: 1 vote

The only time I won't be able to work on these is when I go on vacation but that's not until the end of July and the beginning of August. Otherwise I'll hopefully be able to work on plenty of these during most of the summer.

Game Help / irrklang.dll missing?
« on: June 15, 2017, 03:00:06 pm »
I tried installing the preset sync and for some reason this happened. Is there any solution without having to uninstall and reinstall?

Edit: Says it is 'missing' but it shows up in the folder. Wat

Presets & Markings / Rain Preset (my first preset!)
« on: June 15, 2017, 08:09:33 am »
Ok so I really shouldn't have stayed up till 4 am again but once I start something I'm obsessed till I finish it. xD
This preset is based off one of my Impressive World wolf characters.

So here it is, simple but nice (might add simple-style fur, nose shine, etc in the future):

https://ibb.co/eb3BYQ
https://ibb.co/eTJvtQ
https://ibb.co/iEkEnk
https://ibb.co/mVDjnk

Shown without mane and with two different manes. This is not a Wolf's Rain OC and it wasn't what I was really going for but I guess the style looks a bit like it. I've seen the art for that but I've never watched it yet. -shrug-

Game Help / Preset problem
« on: June 15, 2017, 02:12:20 am »
I tried looking through tutorials and didn't find anything on this issue. How do I color without coloring over the uv layer? I've never had to use layers and all that fancy stuff before lol. Also speaking of gimp, why does the brush lag (brush is a bit behind the cursor) while I'm doing this but not with map files? I'm trying the whole color-over-existing-preset thing, which I've seen tons of people do, and none of them appear to have these problems.

Finished Maps / Sea and Sky V1
« on: June 14, 2017, 06:34:09 am »
Has a coral reef, tons of rock formations, some hidden stuff, some mini kelp forests, and an above-water part with platforms. The weird thing at the foot of one of the seamounts (cough seahill more like? xD) could be a shrine or donation pile; there's stuff like shells and pebbles in it.

I purposely left out some parts so y'all have to find some of the stuff. Trust me, this map won't disappoint!
Tho if y'all want more screenshots just say so and I'll post the of the 'spoiler' ones

Title says it all. I don't think there's already a topic like this, or at least not a recent one.

Since this isn't a roleplay group I assume the only place for this is here, but I understand if this post gets locked/moved/taken down. I had no idea where else to put this so if anyone points out a board I missed, thanks. ^^

So basically I made a group where people can just chat, have fun, do stupid stuff, and meet new friends. It's called Ohana and while I'm pretty awful with schedules (so there's no set times or days as of now, maybe ever xD) whenever I'm online go ahead and send a joining request if I'm on my main char (named Zhenya, a black wolf with teal stripes and wings, hard to miss lol). Otherwise just pm me or add me as a friend and I'll come back on my main character.

Rules are no bigotry/discrimination/rudeness. People definitely should have opinions and not be a bunch of bandwagon sheep but please don't be rude or go overboard since that defeats the whole purpose of this group. Since, unless I get a job, I'll be free basically the entire summer, I'll be popping in and out of here quite a bit. There's a few times I know I won't be on here this summer (my uncle's wedding in a few weeks and the vacation/holiday in late July) so when those come up I'll let y'all know. On some Saturday mornings I'll probably be at the animal shelter since I volunteer sometimes.

I'm back y'all! I'm gonna put each individual map's info and screenshots in a spoiler code so nobody has to scroll through a ridiculously long post. During the school year I'll probably not be on here much, and school will take priority over requests. During the summer however, unless I get a job or something comes up, this will be my priority!

6/14/17: Requests are now open!

I figured I'd put this in this section since 'general' probably suits one big thread more. I was tempted to put this in the Finished Maps section but this thread has a big mix of stuff in it. I decided it's better for me to make one big thread for all my stuff instead of making a ton of individual threads for all my projects and only make the individual threads for 'masterpiece' maps.

Sea Kingdom V1
So here's the first version. It started off as a test map but then I found the new underwater stuff and decided to make a full-blown map. Anyone who's read the Wings of Fire books knows what this is based off of (spoiler: it's basically a combination of the Deep Palace and Summer Palace, with my own twists). The main parts are the pavilion+vacation dens and the reef. There's no heightmap or mask since, again, this started as just a test map). Anyway, I think it's already pretty great the way it is for now, and I hope you guys like it too! The second version will most likely have the Deep Palace and reef and the Summer Palace as separate areas, unless the map gets too huge and laggy with all the detail. Without further yammering, here's the link and screenshots (only the ones of the mostly-done stage and end result to save space)! In the ingame parts you'll see my character looking different a bunch of times; I was doing a color test with that. Anyway.

Selfie in front of my masterpiece! (My character has wings now tho)

Sea and Sky V1

Forest (somewhat WolfQuest-based)

~COMING SOON: My next maps; suggestions welcome!~Post your ideas and I'll add them to my requests list. The 'my ideas' part is one giant (or not-so-giant when I narrow it down for the moment) list of things I added on as I thought of them; they aren't in any particular order and I probably won't do them in a specific order. The request list will have the first request at the top, and the others added on as people request.
- Park
- Ice Kingdom
- Canyon
- Forest and plains
- Warriors first arc map
- Wolves of The Beyond map
- Far North/tundra and ice theme (will include jumpable ice floes etc)
- Parkour
- Cave full of glowing crystal features, get ready for more retextured trees and stuff xD

Upcoming: First priority
Two main projects at a time. Either one from my ideas list that you want to see or a request is welcome!
- [Forest V1]
- [open]

Requests/Pending List
When one in the above list is done I will move the first, or maybe the least time-consuming (so that person can get their map sooner instead of taking forever on a huge project and putting everyone 'on hold' for ages) of these up to the priority list.
[open]

I *might* also remake some of my old maps, but I'm probably going to do them completely from scratch. I don't even have most of my old files anyway.

Leaving / Hiatus (busy with school)
« on: September 27, 2015, 05:28:17 pm »
Well high school's going great, and I actually like it, which is a first. Most of my previous school years were either awful or just meh; hs has a different atmosphere and it's way better! But since I'm taking AP classes, I'll be a bit busy with homework and projects. So please don't take it personally if you send me a pm and I don't answer it for a while; I just don't always have time to get on here. For anyone who knows about my maps, I can't take requests right now since my game isn't even working atm. When I get it fixed, I'm going to start making aquarium-themed maps. If you watch the show Tanked you'll see where I'm getting my ideas. Anyway, that's about it. Just letting people know I'm actually still alive. xD

Game Help / Map Maker issue
« on: May 22, 2015, 08:24:46 pm »
Ok, I think I've identified what's causing my issue, but I have no idea why it's doing this. I made a height map and terrain mask in GIMP, but when I put them into the Terrains folder, FH crashed when I clicked map maker, even though they're both in png format! I've never had this issue before, considering I've probably got about 10 or more other map things that work just fine. O.o

Another edit: Ugh. It was apparently a mistake putting them in the folder again (at least I know that those files are definitely causing problems for some reason), because even after removing them again, the game itself won't even open without crashing. Same error message keeps coming up again: 'FeralHeart.exe has stopped working'
