Title: Downloaded items disappear in-game
Post by: Hydraulis on October 02, 2011, 07:41:26 pm

Yeah, I know this is my third help thread over the course of two days ^^' but this map is giving me the most trouble I've ever had...
So. In my map, there are items from other users like a bonfire and some logs. They appear in mapmaker and to everyone in game except me. What's going on and how can I fix this?

Make sure you put the objects in your own list. Do not put them in "Default," "MyRocks," "MyTrees," etc.

Have you downloaded any other maps that include the same file names?
Sometimes even when you keep both of the same named files, FeralHeart might overwrite one or the other causing some objects in that category to be missing.

My only fix for this is to rename your object groups. ^^

Yeah, they're in their own group :\
I called it custom.
And, Defosho... same files names? Can you explain further? xD Like, what files..?

Object groups that are exported get exported into .fho files named after their group.

Say you export the 'MyRocks' category, it gets exported as MyRocks.fho.

Being a category that everybody has default in their map/object maker, MyRocks.fho would typically be a file name that you see more than once in the folder 'Exports'.

However, if you rename your categories in the object maker and export, FeralHeart doesn't have the albility to overwite one file over the other.
If you were to rename the MyRocks category to DeafoshoRocks, it would be put into exports as a file name that can't be overwritten.

Hopefully I'm making the slightest bit of sense to ya' 8D

I understand. But that didn't work. I have custom names for all the categories that have custom objects, so... ^^'
I also read a thread where the solution to this problem was to clear out the files in exports after you exported them, btu when I did that and it doesn't work Dx Anything else that might fix it?

Hrm, cleaning out the .fho files in exports should work. Once your exports folder is empty of .fho files, that's when you re-export your map.

& if that doesn't work, maybe you should contact an administrator for some extra help.
I'm kinda out of ideas. ;3;
