Title: Mapmaker
Post by: Celeyan on July 30, 2011, 11:24:07 pm

Well, I made a map, But when I went to export it Fh started to crash and it said exporting but half the time some of the stuff in the map couldn't be found..And one time I had to delete some particles for it to work. Also when I went to explore the map I crashed :C

Help?

That's very odd...I guess an admin will have to help you with that... You might need to re-install FH and remake the map. Or somthing is up with your hard drive... :<

I could have sworn I just posted here..
Um, I had that problem a while back. Are you using any custom objects? You shouldn't have to delete anything or re-install, hopefully o:

Yeah I used some custom objects

Did you have a separate object group for them? I could be wrong but that may be part of why it did that.
Could you tell me some of the objects you used?

Some caves, Birch, fir, oak, FH fir, different types of rocks and different types of plants


And no I didn't have a seperate object group :C

that -might- be it. I'm not 100% sure, cause I'm not really a map expert xD but even if that's not the case, it's good to have a separate object group for your maps object. (Mine's just called LifeStreamObjects) Cause if you have My Trees, My rocks, etc. then give it to people, they won't be able to keep both objects from other maps that might keep default names for their objects and stuff, unless it's been fixed.
If you need help figuring how to do that, let me know. Can't remember off the top of my head x3

I get "invalid Map Name" when saving a map. What is the format for file names?

Try using only letters, spaces, and underscores. Maybe numbers work? Never tried... but anyway, try that. It should work x_o

Certain custom objects and/or weather files WILL cause your FH to crash after entering a map. Corrupted files can do this as well. Make sure all your files and file paths are legit and that you can find every file you used to make the map, and be sure that they're in the right places. Custom meshes should go into "My Objects". Best of luck fixing your problem.

Ohh... I've never heard of that happening. Maybe you had too many things open and your computer kinda overloaded. Try having everything except FeralHeart closed when making maps and such.

Oh, um. Are you sure your heightmap goes by all the requirements?
Make sure it's 513x513 pixels
It has to be in Greyscale mode. Not RGB colour with just grey colours used.
and it has to be one layer, and I think it had to have been one layer from the start x_o
does it go by that?
