Updates for January
So here we are, 2012.
It has been quite an interesting year here in our FeralHeart community, 2011 has come with lots of discussions, changes and possibly even learning from each other, and now it's time to look forward at what there might be to come for us. I'm sure I will be able to speak for more than myself when I say, that we are ready to tackle this new year and try our best to make this better than the last one. Continue to spread our FeralHeart lurb over the interwebz!(A.k.a World domination *derp*)
The staff wishes to thank everyone here on the forum for their shown support towards the game and the community since you are in fact what makes the game that we play at the current date, but you will also play a big role in what the game will become in the future. We can just wait and see~
There will be quite a few things in this news post, so make sure you read it all!
Game changes
During the last month here, we've gotten quite a few updates and changes on the game, and it could even be seen as an overdose compared to what we've gotten used to, the patches has been more than welcome non the less, and if you by some chance has missed out on a few things these patches did, let us re-cap since the start of December.
Game Glitches Fixed:
-Bios no longer disappears if a user changes map or edit it after going into another map.
-The map maker no longer add random objects from another map project upon loading several map creations in one session.
-Group chats and party chats no longer leaks into everyone's chat window.
-Friendlist no longer moves over to the "Blocked list" upon map change.
-Tweaks done to the physics engine to prevent users from clipping through platforms
Content and functions added:
-The well known wings has been added into the game along with a "Dash" options for wingless characters.
-Items has been implemented into the game via the character selection screen.
-Mods are now able to write reason of kick/bans to rule breaking users.
-Maps like Ascension Island, Sky rims and south pole has been added.
-New emotes for everyone to enjoy.
There's probably more, but thanks to KovuLKD there has been quite a few changes lately to the game that resolved issues that has been there for quite some time, and hopefully most members in the community will find these changes welcome.
Board changes
This month we have been running low on any particular board changes here on the forum, there's been plenty of things that has been going on around the game and discussion wise here on the forum, not to mention that most have been dealing with Christmas that has now passed us by. But there's still a few important things to bring up so lets get to it.
The staff has had a discussion regarding the matter of MOTM here on the forum. It has been agreed that picking a member of the month doesn't seem like the most effective way right now, and many of the times it's easy to see the same members pushing their ways through the pack. The votes and pick every month seem too much at this moment so there will be some changes.
Even though the complications with the MOTM, the staff still wishes the users to have something at their grasp for showing great activity and interest in the community, so instead of MOTM we will now introduce Member Of The Season(MOTS). This will work similar to the old MOTM, but instead users will be nominated after a longer time of activity, in this case seasons. Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. When the time comes, the staff will let you know how it is going to take place.
I should also mention that if you wish to advertise your own radio station here on the forum, there's now a few spots open for threads in the Radio board and if you are interested feel free to send a PM to me and things can be discussed further.

Banner Contest Results
We gotta throw in a row for the Banner winners as well!
First off we want to thank everyone for participating in our banner contest, and we got many nice banners to view, but in the end, there were a few users who managed to grab our votes.
Deafosho, Viinca, Tearless and Toru Caught the top spot. But you the community voted forward your favorites, so lets represent the rest of the winners that will join on the forum banner.
Congratulations to:
Ringo, Usiku, Simba, WarriorMoo, Zaephyr, Graciegirl23 and Silvy/Sara.
You all represented us with great banners, they should be up in a few days, and once they are we will all be able to see them for the upcoming months here on the forum! I hope everyone enjoyed this contest, and maybe we will throw one together again in the future.
Side note
On this months update I want you guys to be aware of our new MIT. Sameth! They've been around for quite some time now and I do believe most of you know them. They will be helping the staff from now on, so chances are they will most likely be on their tip of their toes in the upcoming weeks keeping an eye on you guys and the boards.
If you guys got any questions feel free to PM the Mods here on the forum.
Thanks~ Redrawr outz

Congrats, Samethhh c; You deserve it. And I love the idea for Member of the Season. Good luck to all future MOTS...s... and hopefully I'll be back soon. ^_^

congrats to teh winners~ and to Sameth~ -randomly plus karma's Sameth-
-
The new updates are welcome for the most part. I'll always have a strong mind that wings do not belong in the more realistic RP's but for dragons and things like that, I suppose they are fine.
-
So many new changes, it's amazing. :] Awesome job mods and KovuLKD.
Also, congratulations Sameth, I've seen you around and I'm positive you'll be an excellent MIT.
-
Congrats Sameth and happy new year to everyone! And happy birthday to FH, if I'm not mistaken!

You never know with Kovu. x3

...I'm a banner contest winner? OWO wow ;D thanks~

Thanks for the update!

Thank you for the update, much appreciated. You have out done yourself staff, everyone is very pleased. Hope there is more to come in the near future... now..
I have a question(s), and hope it has not been asked. (I cannot see the previous pages ever since the new forum update unfortunately. I can only see the first and last pages of a topic.) Anyways, on with the question(s):
Since items have been added, will more be added in the near future? Can users create their own items?
*If more is to come concerning items, on holidays/events can certain items be obtainable?* <---(*An idea just throwing that one out there.) Ex: Halloween Mask is obtainable as an item only if a person has logged on during Halloween day..etc.
Onwards to a couple more questions:
Since wings have been added, will more be added soon? Will new markings be added soon? (since a marking update hasn't appeared in a long time.) I saw earlier last year that new actions (Like howling, roaring, stretching.. etc) were going to be added in a future update, any news on if it's going to be added sometime this year possibly?... since many users were looking forward to new actions to pull off.
That's all I can think of for now, I'll post more when more questions arise. ^^ I'm just tired after a long day of school and forgot most of the questions I had planned asking.
-
More items will be added, and yes, users can create items.
I would expect more wings to be added, or if not, the current ones to be updated.
Howling Roaring and stretching were added a looooong time ago.

I know that, I just used those as an example. There was a whole forum on new actions that users wanted to be implanted in the game. I don't know if it exist today, but there was nearly a page of ideas. Like yawning.. etc.
Thank you for answering my question.
I have found the forum:

Firespirit: E
ok, thx :) I'll try when I get in-game (soon as bro gets off the computer.....)
-
Heh, Congrats, Sameth, and Happy New Year All.
*Suddenly notices her banner on the forum*
WHOA. I guess I made it. Congrats, winners!
Remember, it's the journey and effort we put into the work, not whether it won or not!

Question:
My friend says there is a Skys Rim portal at the top of Ascension Island. Waaay at the top by the crystal. Red says there is also that map added, but many of the people I was talking with do not have that map. My friend says the upadate was on the 29th, and he can go into the portal easily. When I click 'find' the computer says he is in 'fhskysrim.' How come no one else (besides one other person that takled about it) can go in it? And the official downloads say the last update was on the 24th?
We'd appreciate any help, thanks ^^~
-
Skys rim was added in the latest patch = you must have it installed correctly otherwise it will not be in your game.
The map is placed on top of ascension island = you must climb to the top in order to get inside that map
And even though it's nothing severe, please try to keep questions to the help section if possible guiseee.
-
Oh my gosh! Wings are finally added!!! :D I cant wait! :P too bad I cant download the patch on MY computer because it doesnt have internet and my mom wont let me download it on her computer :P
-
Wait do you have to get the game and the patch or just the patch?
-
Just the patch if you already have teh game installed, and just the game if you do not have teh game already installed.
-
how do u get to sky rim?
-
how do u get to sky rim?
Sky's Rim is at the top of Ascension island.
-
is happy to have the new stuff but umms we need more landmarks in south pole peopel keep getting lost put few rocks there or something.
-
congrats to the winners and thanks for the update
-
yes and congrats to the winners

Hey first I would like to say the new degsins are awesome ;D But my birthday is coming feberuray 18th and I would like to ask for a gift for everone here. I would like to supgest some more things just to add ;) Thats if your not busy o..or don't want to do the work i don't ant to bother you. One, you can carry others and if they don't want to be carried they can press the tab key. And the 1 key to carry others ::) Second to acully hunt rabbits, mice, fish, elks, zebras, bufflo. deer, and birds. Thrid to hunt for fun and eat the food by pressing the e key. But you don't just die of hungry like on wolfquest. You now i mean like no hungry gage or health gage just hunt for fun and to eat to be like a real pack and others don't even have to hunt :-* Frouth, to be able to carry food to places ad share food with others :D Last is you can press the g key and type in cry, broken leg,or etc and it will happen ;D like broken leg you run slower. and if you want to this is just a idea you can press the f key to bite people :D and they have a health gage its only for fights though you get three marks and ever time you get hit you you lose a mark if you lose all of them you fall and die then you have five seconds untill you you are alive again. if you have the strengh below the middle you are a pup and have one life. if you are in middle in size or higher then that then you get three lives but if you are a leader of a pack you get five lives. But if not leader and in a pack you still only have three lives. Thanks for reading please make my wish come ture I've been to nerves to ask untill now thank you. All I want is to make others happy on my birthday :D Don't make me cry I just want these things like something good to happen on my birthday :'( T..Th...Thank you so much if you are even reading this I hope you will choose at least three of my wishes happen Thanks bye ::)

OMG i would have wrote that myself if i had the brains.....xD
anyways my point is:your paragraph is exactly what FH needs.Kovu,u promised us hunting,u did not(not to be mean :*( ) anyways,FH needs this or it will plum-it and crash. because in my 2yrs of gaming lots of people have been asking for all those things Alpha demon said. Because in RP u have u pretend(yes i have heard of imagination and i do it all the time)and it sucks.In the chat bar your just standing there when your pretending to do that action,or what-ever you are doing.And in RP u are asked to hunt and all u bring back is "air".-sigh- alright enough complaining.Red read this a couple times or like i said earlier (i know you and the team of FH trying your best)"FH will plum-it and crash" into the the forgotten games of the internet.
-
i lvoe the new changes to the site. amkes it easier to find things
-
Lilly, Kovu is not a mircale worker, he has a life of his own. I'm prety sure he'll be planning something for the next update, but I don't think its a good idea if the Staff release a download you must get to play the game every month (or earlier),
Just be patient. Making movable figures which you are able to hunt will take a lot of time, becuase if it were to be added FH would need quite a lot of programming.
-
@Zaroge,yes i understand that but Fh is becoming boring
-
@Zaroge,yes i understand that but Fh is becoming boring
KovuLKD doesn't have to change his schedule just because YOU are getting bored.
-
that true even if you are bored go roleplay and be patient lilly fluffy butt.
@Zaroge,yes i understand that but Fh is becoming boring
KovuLKD doesn't have to change his schedule just because YOU are getting bored.
-
:( well im sorry -sniffle-,my bad :*(
-
D'aww. - pat pat-.
Somehow everyone seems to be spelling Zaroque with a g... cx
Also, if you find FH boring, why not learn how to make maps, presets or markings?
-
because i would be too hard for me to build a map...im at a young age
-
Its really not 'dat hard, with KovuLKD's very good programming, making maps is super easy!
If I'm 12 and I can make maps no problem, then I think you'll be okay. :3
I would look at the tutorial section to get yourself up and going.
-
welll....im 11 O_O

Dear Red, I was talking with my friends last night and we were having a little chat about what would be awesome to have on FH. Those things were Prey (as in Prey running around and you could eat it) and also Shake (if your afraid of something or you are wet), those were a couple of ideas. And also if we could like, make a few of our chars log on and you controlled one of them then you could do the full RP, you could write down what its meant to do so nothing that isn't meant to happen happens.
-
red i'd like to suggest a idea that u may like :),When you log in you haft to click allot to find a character,so what i am suggesting is a search engine to find your character
-
Red is not the game creator XD he can't add that stuff for you. The creator is KovuLKD.
-
oops O_O

Great ideas, but I believe prey is already to be added. c:

How do you get to Sky Rims? I've looked endlessly all over the place but cannot seem to find it...
-
@Zarrow Amaterasu:sorry about this,but this topic is not the place to ask.Anyways:Sky's rim is in ansecion island,witch u haft 2 climb the curcils/squares/and donuts rings in order to get to the top.You might want wings when you get to sky's rim.I hope that answers your question.
-
Any idea when you guys are going to fix the tailless-not-being-tailless on felines glitch/bug/something you're not going to fix ever?

Oh, I am sorry, I am new to this forum, and thanks
-
its ok ;)
-
All the updates going on are fantastic! I'm new to FH, and I'm glad to see that it's something that is still growing. :D
I do have one question. Are there plans yet / an estimated date for updating the Mac editions to the latest version? I've been sad that I couldn't try out some of the latest map additions yet....
-
how about an african and rain forest map that would be cool make an real big cat and dog like environments inst
-
thats a good idea but making maps can take time depending n the size of the map.... Like me it took me a while just to get a map finished that had custom made items, objects, Terrian. Making terrian maps can take a slow time when it comes up to the idea how should the terrian be do i want it completly flat or wavy? Do i want it intriguing r do i want a death hole in it xD justhad to say death hole lol.... Well time for meh to read on other topic XD
-
KEWL!!!! :OOOOOOOOOO
-

Users have the ability to make maps, you can order ones like that and download them, or make one yourself. :3
-
But when is the update finish?
