Title: Map not showing up in Cape of Distant Worlds [SOLVED!]
Post by: Shenzai on August 26, 2011, 02:32:06 am

I have exported my map and was going to test if it works. I placed everything on by brother's PC and logged in to try out.
But when I got on Cape of Distant Worlds, there was no portal!
Then I tested in my own PC and it's there!
I know the 'Has Portal' option is checked. And I've typed in the coordinates to the arrival point.

Also, I placed the exports into exports, the sound into sound and the my_objects into my_objects!

What happened?
lol Read my last post -__-'


And another question:
What's it when players say a map 'eats' a character?
If I get stuck into a map because it has no portal, I can always go back to my Home, right?
Or it's about a glich or a crash?

Herm.... I don't know D:

But, when a map "Eats" someones character, it's when you are on a character, you log into a map, and FH crashes. You go to get back on your character, and FH crashes, b/c you're still in the character-eating map D: The only way to fix that is to delete the .fhm file that your character is in, and then go on the character again, and "go home".

Yes, just go home if there is no portal.

Don't understand the last one...?

XD not a question exactly. I was asking if the 'eater-map' was just getting stuck without a portal or if it was a glich or crash, which it actually is, as you said!

So, I don't need to create a test character to test my maps, since it's easy to fix. Or I should create one?

Thank you!

I'd create a tester anyway. So, if you go into a downloaded map for the first time, and you crash, ya know :3

(Yea, I made one. Tested my map on my PC and it works)

I even tried to move .fho to objects, .fhs to sound and .fhm to terrains but it didn't work!

When packing everything into a zip, do I need to add the heightmap, the masks and textures or that's inclided on the .fhm?
This might be my problem...

No. All you need to put in the zip file is: .fhm, .fho, .fhs, and .fhw.

(Oh, yea, you're right XD I was distracted)

OhMyDog OMD OMD! I can't believe how stupid I am! *facepalm*
I renamed 'valleyofdarkness.fhm' to 'valleyofdarknessShenzai.fhm' and didn't realize this could be a bad idea.
No, seriously, I'm very stupid...
That's the cause of all this problem!
Now it worked on my brother's PC.

Just like the two other problems I posted here, it was caused by my stupidness...

But thank you so much for trying to help! C:
