Title: How do I let other people into my map?
Post by: Esperanta on February 21, 2012, 02:57:56 am

I made a map, but it's kinda lonely without people in it :'(  How do I let people into my map?

Random question:  What's the difference between local and general chat, besides the colour?

I'll see what I can do to help you:
1. Go to your desktop and right click, there will be many options to choose from, go to New-> Compressed folder and rename it.
2. Now, go to OS (C:)-> Feral Heart-> Media-> Terrains. You'll see a folder with the name of your map, go into it and select all the files in it, or go back and select the folder. (Whichever works)
3. Go back to your desktop and find your compressed folder, paste all the files, or the folder, into it.
4. You should have a mediafire account, if not quickly register. Once logged on, go to 'My Files', unless your already there. On the left side of the screen there will be a Upload button, click it then find your compressed folder in the desktop section.

As for the difference between general and local chat, when your using general chat, everyone in the map can see what your saying, when you use local only the people around you can see what your saying.

There is another way actually.

1. Load your map in Map Maker and click the "Export" button
2. Go to your Feralheart folder then your exports folder
3. Your exported files will be there such as .fhm (The map), .fho (The object groups), .fhs (The sky you used), .fhw (The weather cycle you used)

From there do what Jeanette said and put those files into a compressed folder and upload it.

When you download the files, put them all into OS (C:)-> Feral Heart-> Exports.

Thank you for adding on, Ingredient. :)

I did that.  Here's exactly what I did:

1. Made a new zipped folder on my desktop.
2. Went to My Computer-> (C:)-> FeralHeart folder-> exports
3. Put all the files from the exports folder (all except the ReadMe) into the zipped folder
4. Made an account at Mediafire and downloaded the zipped file
5. What do I do now???

Ok you got the files uploaded to Mediafire now all you do is give your friends the download link so they can download. Once downloaded they put it into their Exports folder then find the portal at Cape.

Yep thats it, your done.

Its always good if you get your map tested by someone before sharing the link with your friends so that you know everything is working.
