Map issues after exporting and in the maker

[ZombieKitteh]

This is my first map ever so I've been asking alot of help from friends. Took me awhile and lots of downloads later I finished my map. Even figured out how linking two maps works. but afterwards I see a problem and I've tried everything I can think of to fix it. Even google or searching the forums has gotten me no where.

Everything in my map works perfectly fine, the meshes and textures I used, etc.. everything but the default rocks. It looks fine in Map Maker but after I export it and go try and test it out myself it changes/moves the rocks. I think it changes them to one of the other rock formats, but I dunno..

After I exported it said it made all the right item files and groups for the meshes.. and I haven't moved anything for testing, and it wont work D: I can't for the life of me figure out what's wrong. If it was a problem with not exporting the items shouldn't they still appear as they do on map maker for me since I have the meshes?

For example it turned this,


Into this,


Any help for this map newbie would be muchly appreciated ;-;

I also had a problem that when I wanted to make a new map from scratch I'd go to test it and after I was done objects from my other map would pop up and stay there.. so I had to manually delete them. It's annoying- is there any way to fix that?


Edit: I had a friend test it out, it's not jsut my computer.. so it has to do with the map and files :c. The rocks also once exported have no collision when the ones I originally used did.

There is a glitch with Mapmaker that causes thing like this.  Don't know if this will help you or not. but here are some things to try.

1. Go into C:\feralheart\media\terrains\temp and remove the file tempObjects.cfg.  This has to do with the test feature and these files put objects from one map into the one that was being worked one.  Note you can remove any files here that you think might be causing the problem (like for water tempWater.cfg)

2.  BEFORE testing, save your map.  That way if it glitches you should be able to just load the map again.


These are things that helped me.  Hope this helps

Thankyou for replying. I'll go test what you mentioned and see if it works :3

Edit: No it didn't work- x-x well for my one issue anyways- now I just crash when I open the map maker.. better restore the file x'3

[barrettm82]

Did you get an Ogre Exception error or did it just crash?

[ZombieKitteh]

Both x: It came up and said so and so file was missing, then crashed.

Ok, putting the files back, Should get MapMaker working again.

[ZombieKitteh]

Yes, it did.

Unfortunately those are the only suggestions that I have.  Sorry it wasn't any help.  That stupid glitch trolls people all the time.  Hope they fix it.
