Title: Hi again!
Post by: iico on August 04, 2019, 08:56:10 pm
Hello all!

Returning member from 2014, though I vaguely remember playing this game when I was a wee stupid youngchild. I was a bit active in 2017 when I was still mostly a wee stupid youngchild, but now I've been? Thrown? Into The Horrible Hands of Adulsthood and Everything Is On Fire. I'm still a wee stupid youngchild rlly idk how to do anything.
I dropped the game mid February 2017, when I was deep into making an expansive map pack that ... unfortunately corrupted itself when I tried to export it to submit it to the mapmaking contribution/"calling all talented creators" threads :( Made my 17 year old self very very mad, I had lost dozens of hours of work, so I let the Feralheart root folder sit on my harddrive for a few months before completely deleting it.
Recently this game has been hounding my thoughts, it was a very good creative outlet for me! I've been exhausted via working retail (do it for the experience but prepare for the mental anguish) for a few months now and I'm pondering withdrawing from or atleast taking an extended hiatus from University as I have no desire to study at all, I just want to create. Map and preset-making were almost therapeutic. I'd figured I would pop back in again and see how things were going.
Ecstatic to see that we finally have the source code!!

I'm always open for any roleplays, be it in Feralheart, another game, or in the forums. I also play The Endless Forest quite a bit under the username Shey, and you can find a lot of them under my blog entries, or on my Toyhouse (https://toyhou.se/snarpo) @snarpo.

Currently trying to figure out how to map the controls to a PS4 controller/DPAD so if you see my characters freaking out in the Grounds thats probably why lol. I might? Post a tutorial sometime soon on how to play with one? Perhapeth?

Also! I will probably not be very active on the forums, I like to lurk, so you are free to add me on steam (snarpo), or follow me on twitter and tumblr @SVTURNVL ! My twitter and tumblr are both my art accounts so maybe take a peek there too..

Welcome back to FeralHeart iico! Y'know, that's actually really interesting, mapping the controls to a PS4 controller... I like the way you think xD So sorry to hear about that map pack fail, that really hurts. I do ask, were the files themselves corrupted, or some other means of an exportation glitch? Anywho, excited to see you around!

Ahh thank you all for the warm welcomes back!!

Ame88, I believe it was a mixture of incorrectly packing objects into their own groups while simultaneously using the groups that came with them, as most of the objects I used were modded in, simply having too many objects in one map (I wanted it to have about the same visual detail as Skyrim) and trying to export it overloaded the game's memory or some other factor. I did try to go in and reexport it several times, but it had the same error and eventually the map wouldn't load at all, so the files themselves had become corrupted and were useless.

Morqque, Likuu: I accomplished it last night!! Unfortunately it makes use of a program called Antimicro that isn't very user-friendly as it's still in development. Plus, I'm trying to map it so all buttons have functions. Of course, you would only be able to move, use your character's power (flight/dash), swim/fly up and down, move the camera, etc. You wouldn't be able to type or anything like that without a keyboard. I wish you could use the d-pad to select and highlight buttons and then use X like a mouseclick, but sadly I do not think that Feralheart supports that in this version of OGRE currently. I think I'll post the tutorial with screenshots in the Miscellaneous Tutorials section tonight or sometime tomorrow.
