Title: Crashing on every Custom-made Maps.
Post by: Colors on May 28, 2012, 03:08:31 am
So, I've been in FH since it's release last year, and I never had any problem like the one I'm having now.
So, I crash on most of Custom made maps I download. Only a few doesn't make me crash.
I simply put everything on their correct folders, and when I get through the portal, I crash. After that, I can't get back on, unless I delete the Map files. This is what I tried to do:

1) Redownloading the Map.
2) Redownloading FH.
3) Reinstalling FH.
4) Changing from OpenGL to Direct3D

The change from OpenGL to Direct3D worked, but with the Direct, every floor is made of savannah grass, even though they're not supposed to be like that.

So, is there any other way to fic this that wouldn't mess up FH for me? :<

generally if it bad tokens when u enter a map dont close FH down, just click ok, relog back in on same char and it should spawn u in the map. If it is simply crashing everytime u enter the map, it could be the map itself or your computer being unable to handle it. Another thing that tends to come alot is the weather files used in some maps if they are custome ones~ Ask the map maker if they have used any

Hello! And no, it itsn't bad tokens, it's really crashing. It's not the map, since all of my friends were able to get in it but me. My computer is able to handle it, since I've never have problems with FH but now. There aren't any sort of custom weather or sky in the map. :x Any other way to solve it..?

Strange problem.
Have you tried to deleted completly the FeralHeart Folder after uninstalling? Because can remain some files that may cause the problem.

Indeed, it is. And yes I did, I deleted all FH folder after uninstalling.

Get clean of any custom map. install them one by one, and tell me what map is crashing.

It's not a single map that is making me crash. All the ones that I downloaded recently made me crash. :x

Exactly. And yes I did, on the other computer is alright, but the other computer I tested on it's not mine, it belongs to my mother and I can't use it. I was just allowed to use it because I begged her.

I see, but your problem is different from mine.

I'm finking something isn't installing or moving right when moving these maps, make sure are replacing files when placing into exports. If you are using primarially exports, maybe switching it up to the terrains folder for fhm. files and my objects for fho. files may work for you. May work vice versa.

Maybe you have FH installed in a compressed drive? is not common but can be a reason.

I got out of ideas really. Put more details about like:
-what maps have you downloaded?
-what operating system are you using?
-it crashes even if you install only one custom map? or have you put a lot in fh at same time?

Maybe a reason are maps who are using objects groups like MyPlants.fho, MyRocks.fho, etc. they get replaced frequently by another map download and can cause problems.

I tried to paste the .fhm files on terrains and .fho on my_objects, but I crashed as usual anyway. :x

Actually no, I didn't install FH into a compressed drive. :/
Alrighty, adding more details.

1) I currently have two maps: DaburiPridelands and Jirakeebeach.
2) I use OpenGL. As I said on the first post, the maps work when I switch to Direct3D, but all the floor turns into savannah grass, even maps such as fluorite and ficho tunnes.
3) It doesn't work even when there is only one map on the Exports folder.

I hope I made things a bit better now. ^^

just a theory, maybe your rendering system got damaged.

You can do a directx test to check if there are any problems with directx
click start button, then execute and a box will appear. write dxdiag. A windows with information and options will appear, you can dig around searching for any error message and you can click the test buttons to verify if all test are OK.

Im not sure about this, i believe OpenGL is installed with directX in Windows (but they are 2 completly diferent things), maybe you should try to install again Directx. Directx is automatically installed when you install FH in your computer (with FHsetup.exe). Or maybe you want to download it directly from Microsoft site.

If it's any case, she downloaded one of my maps yesterday and it didn't crash her, perhaps maybe it is something wrong with those map files themselves?

Hm, I tried oding the test, but when I opened the file that I found, it simply opens a window with a ton of options, such as system, display, sound 1, sound 2 and input, I didn't find any test buttons. :x

[EDIT] I see a small box saying 'notes' and they state that no problems were found.

But I downloaded a lot of private maps to test, so, they all have something going on with the files? Plus, a lot of friends of mine tested too, and they all were able to get in every map. ;/

Are you sure you put them in the right files? If you're sure, please try to tell me where you put them.
