how to access custom maps?
« on: May 26, 2018, 06:42:16 pm »
Hello everyone, I've been inactive on FH for a really long time, but I'd thought of the idea of finding the old FH maps and exploring...

I downloaded them, put them into the exports and media folders, and went to Cape of Distant Worlds, but I can't find the portals?

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thank you!

Some look invisible, make sure you go to the narrow strip to find them, this may not be too helpful. Otherwise maybe you put them in wrong. Again, probably not the most helpful person here ^^

Depending on which one you got, one has the portal to old lonelycave at the cape, the other has the portal in new lonelycave itself, apparently.

The Japanese concept of wabisabi:
The closest concept in english would be 'rustic'
They might have an old thing, one example is a favourite bowl or dish, it's broken, pieces are missing, why fix it?  With gold and pieces from other dishes?

I looked within Lonely Cave (the new one), I couldn't find any portals either. Nor are they in the Cape.

Bawfle improved the custom/private map portals in order to see them much more clearly.

Hmm, Did you check the steps? You Might want to check your FH folder in objects you dont need. The object one might not help, but check if you pasted the .fhm file in exports. You could have forgotten some files, but Im not sure.

Did other people have the same problem? Here is a guide to the file types:

fhs- Sky
fho- Objects
mp3- Sounds
fhm- Exports/Terrains

I hope this can help you.
