So the plans right now is to make a smexy city map for the public that anyone can enjoy and spend time in. Our biggest enemy right now would be the lag that will show for the majority of the users visiting a map filled with objects. But trying is something that should be worth doing, and no matter how it will turn out, tries of giving out something will be done.
With some help of friends in the community this project has already gotten a jumpstart and there's a good amount of meshes that can be used for this project. The "city" in this will be rather small, but tries will be done to get it as close as possible to a city feel inside feralheart.
Some things this map will feature or I will try to feature is lots of texture variety, very detailed city environment, custom sounds and other candy as long as FeralHeart allows it. If you want to provide or suggest meshes and what not, feel free to bump this post.

If I make any progress I'd like to share with you lots I will post screens and other fun stuffs in here to let others know of any potential progress or if it's even alive. But as long as the thread exist, the project is alivez.

So the basics of the maps are done now when it comes to the heightmap so I know what I have to work with. Alls the roads are actually a few coordinates below the regular ground, but there's also height differences of the different planes of the town/city, was quite the trick.
(http://i46BannedImageSite/i53tq0.png)
A small step for man a giant leap for lilly the lioness, here taking the first steps on the pavement of Feralcity. This is actually a rough work to do since I need to use regular collboxes for the majority of the pavement to save on performance. Looks good so far though.
(http://i46BannedImageSite/i28qcn.png)
Finally now you can start to see the map representing something more city like. I added on the 5th texture which is the concrete one that will show in the more busy area of the city, added some street marks, but I also took the liberty to change the other road texture since I managed to find a more suiting one. A long way to go though. You can also see where the park will be situated by looking in the top right corner.
(http://i50BannedImageSite/14xnw2v.png)
There's 3 different height levels of the city, and I'm finally done with the top one when it comes to placing sidewalks and collisions for them. They aren't exactly the most fun thing in the world, but since they do so much difference in a map like this it's a must. And since most of the top level is completed, I threw in some more detailz. Like parking lotz?
(http://i47BannedImageSite/qpqqdh.png)
Here's just a quick view of a part of the middle level of the city leading out to the bottom one. Top level(downtown) and middle level is now finished with sidewalks and their collisions. Just the bottom and final level left now until I can start working on the fun stuff.
(http://i46BannedImageSite/359fhua.png)
I know I cheated some on the collisions and roadmarks since the sidewalks and roads are not completely done yet. But it has been a lot of workies and I'll get back to it later. Here's the whole map so far in all it's glory though.
(http://i46BannedImageSite/73195i.png)
First things first, now when red has taking over the city, the city billboard needs a change. Yes.. He did it again.

Here's a sneak peek of what the visitors might see when they first arrive to feralcity.

Hungry while you are paying a visit to the city? No problem! Here's a diner that you can roleplay it all out in.

Here's a screen from one of the main streets in the city.

-
Looking great so far, Reddle. Chu will put real cities to shame with FeralCity's floofiness. xD
-
Lovin it so far! Good Job Red! Can't WAIT to see the finished product!
-
Awesome *^*
-
Thanks guys, chur support be very nice.
-
This really looks awesome. I can't wait :D
-
Looks good so far Red I cant wait to see how it turns out!
-
This looks epic, Red :D And Lilly the lioness xD That's mai main character's name :3
-
Oh wow! This has to be one of the best city maps I've ever seen!
I can't wait till' it's finished BDD
-
It's Lilly, teh lioness! -ding!-
Nice parking lot, Redz. xD Adds a nice detail to the already floofy landscape. I can't wait to explore the finished mappeh. c:
-
Arf, will try to make it so no one would ever want to leave the map. Though we can never know how laggy the map will turn out to be. So far it looks alright though even the mass amount of sidewalks placed.
Will try to finish up the last level as well and give an overview of the map and the roads.
-
Great job reddles ^^
-
I love it already, I can see it now... It will be an awesome map, I know it will be. xD I, like a lot of otherz can't wait till it's finished!
-
Thanks guys, will try to get the base down and sorted tomorrow so all the placing of the buildingz n sturf can happen soon. Posted an overview of the whole map in the first post for those who's interested.
-
That car park Red is awesome! Doing a great job on it :)
-
epic x3
-
Great job red, that's one paw-some city map! I can't wait to step inside this epic map your making.
-
Thank chu peoplez.
Good newz, I finally be done with all the placing of sidewalks and roadmarks. I only need to do some minor touches to the heightmap and mask and then I can start placing the kewl stuff into the map.
-
Its going to be an awesome map Red it looks great so far
-
Lotz of work left, but a sneak peek has been addedz.
-
Uhh any idea where I can get building meshes like those? I need to make an apocalyptic city
-
This looks fantastic! Having attempted cities before, I can only imagine the amount of planning that went into a layout like that. You have my utmost respect!

All the meshes used can be found in the addons & mods board. Took them from our fellow meshers in the community.

I thank you for dis Tearless. Lotsies of timez indeed, and lotsies of time left, but this project has gotten far already. Hoping to put funz stuff and detail in the map that can keep the creative mind entertained for hours. Public maps are the way to go.
-
Looks epicz so far, floof. Those flags add a nice touch xD Not sure how you have the patience for all dis, it makes me jealous. My attention span is like this |---|
-
Looks awesome red.. nice workies.
-
I luv it, i wish download it!
-
nice i like your map its really cool
-
*Stairs at flag*
ALL HAIL RE- Wait what? >=U
-
Aweshome...... I shall download if it becomes public.... *bows down to red* Yesh.... new map soon!
-
All I can say now that it will be quite a massive download if you want to play it. But so far it works out alright and lag-wise it should be playable. Though there's lots and lots of things that haven't been placed in the map yet so we will see.
-
XD I cant wait to derp about and be a hobo ^^
-
I will so download!
-
Will it be a new public map ? because like Red sid up it will have many meshes ! it's a very cool map but i still think that will have many problems in that :|
-
Can I start up a street dog rp in it?
-
Three words, EPIC AND RANDOM :o
-
If it hadn't have been for me, this map wouldn't be made. I suggested a Feralheart City map while in the FH Cinema. Red than said, "Maybe sometime in the future." Whaddya know, here it is. XD
-
Look's great Red. ^.^ Cant wait.
-
Only one word that can describe it. Epic.
-
Only one word that can describe it. Epic.
I think that about sums it up.
The playground is great. c: I'm so excited to explore dis thing.
-
Well, after some testing with an early alpha state of the map there's one bigger issue.
It's not really something that prevents user from playing or anything. But due to how the physics in FeralHeart work, and some of the meshes inside of this map, there's many places and spaces that you appear ontop of the building instead of inside of it when you jump inside of it. The game just doesn't follow the characters position well.
At the moment there's not really much I can do to sort this unless I completely skip having collisions. One thing that sorts this temporarily is that you disconnect and rejoin the game, that way others characters appear where they should be, but that's not really the most easy thing for everyone.
-
This looks so.. I don't have words to describe this. It's just too epic!
I wish I had your map making skills. ;-;
-
Another way to help that glitch, Reddle, is for users to f3 out into the sky and then zoom back in. My experience in custom roleplay maps taught me that. xD It fixes the glitch for most. Though it is a bit of a hassle, it might helpz. Otherwise I hope things are coming along well. It really looks great su far.
-
Glitchs happen XD as long as map is playable im sure most wont mind~
-
This is quite impressive
-
This is quite impressive
Yush, very!
-
This is excellent Red brilliant job on your behalf. Cant wait to visit feral city!
-
Thanks guys, your support is very welcomes.
Will try to upload new screens soon of the project so you can see how it looks so far. Gotten to the state where it's time to put tiny details around the map.
-
Red, this is totally epic so far. Keep it up! Really love how it's looking, and I can't wait to see the final version.
-
That map will be great! Keep doing the good work :)
-
Thankies.
Just a lil update. Due to the lag that we all knew would arrive at some point and now is starting to show it's colors, I need to start finishing up most parts if I want it to be even playable for the majority. I'm hoping for a release of the map the upcoming days and will try my best to get it done before Friday if not earlier.
Regarding the questions of hosting roleplays in the map-
ANYONE will be free to use the map whether it's for roleplaying or just talking with their friends, running around exploring or what not. But if you'd actually want to host a roleplay in the map and use it as your roleplay home, then I'd kindly ask you to show respect to ALL players and NEVER territory claim or force users to out of the map, force to another part of the map, or worst of all.. Claim the map as yours.
If you keep that note in mind, but also follow all the official game rules, then you are very welcome to host your roleplays in FeralCity if you can stand the lag that is.
-
will this be a public map for download?
-
Feralcity
So the plans right now is to make a smexy city map for the public that anyone can enjoy
Please make sure to read closely as red already stated a few times that this is a public map and will be for download when finished~
-
looks pretty red! Keepz up the good workz!
-
RYRIWITWII: Red you rock, I want it the way it is.
-
I like the way this is looking so far and I will definitely hang out in this map once it is completed. A lot of work goes into making a map like this. Great job so far! ^^
-
Alright floofs.
The map is now finished. There's some parts of the map that will not quite have the nice floofy areas with objects that I prefer having in the maps, but it was really about time to stop, I'm sure many players will have quite the annoyance with the lag that already exists but it should be playable still.
I will do some testing n sturf and try to file it all down into a working .exe to make it easy for those on windows pooterz, but also make a zip for those on a mac computer.
I will bump this thread once the download is up for grabs and it could be anytime from now to Friday evening.
-
Ooh Cant wait.
this shall be epic >3

-
I did download it form the deviant art :D NOW LET'S SEE THAT!! XD
-
Woohoo! *Downloads* Thankies Red, I'll let you know how it looks from a downloader's point of view XD
-
Yaaaay, you finished it. ^.^ -downloads-
-
Woot! Can't wait to explore it.
Edit: Okay, so I crash every two minutes or so, but darned if it's going to stop me... the place is amazing!
-
I downloaded it, but I can't use it. Any ideas to make it work? (The game crashes before entering to the map)
-
There is no doubt LOTS of lag and crashing that's going to come from all the custom meshes and collisions in this map. If it's crashing for you before you even get in, I would suggest not trying to play in it xD Might make your computer go a bit derp on you.
That aside...
-squeals and leaps for the download button-
-
As long as you have a decent computer you should be able to run this map at least. Though as I suggested wiff big letters in the download thread, lower all your graphics settings to lowest the first time you visit the map.
The wort thing that can happen is that the game crashes when you try to play the map honestly. Try to lower your settings though, and possibly redownload the map and re-install.
If it would keep on crashing it would most likely be your computer who just doesn't enjoy loading all the objects in that map. A notice though, for some it takes a very long time to load this map, it might even appear as if the game crashed, but if you let it load for a bit more without starting spazzing around with the mouse and the game window the map might load for you.
All depends on the computer.
-
Great job finishing it Red, bet it'll be amazing.
-
i'm so downloading this. I've always wanting a realistic city map to roam around in with my female husky.
-
Yeah, awesome map.
With my old PC was not possible to get in, FH needs at least 1GB of extra RAM for that map. Plus a good graphics card.
My framerate was a lot more than in Fluorite.
Well done!
-
Awesome Red, only issue im having is seeing the FeralCity sign and any other signs on the map, dont work for me, been trying everything
-
Install another copy of the game and try the map on that one.
It's something that changes the way how plane.mesh works and it's not really the material itself for some reason. I had this issue myself before this map was made if you have the same thing that is.
A guess, but nothing I know for certain is that installed items might mess with it, but I myself tried replacing the plane mesh, removing all custom objects and items, and still having the issue, but a fresh installed solved my problem.
-
Will do, i had a feeling it was something with my objects or something, as i see the texture, and the mesh is there, but its shaped weirdly and squished.
-
It ate my characters Red ;n;
-
Lucky my new laptop is dang powerfull for a laptop, so I was able to enter the map only after one bad token. It is a bit laggy, as was expected, near or inside places with fancy objects like buildings and vehicles and stuff, but it can be ignored for the most part. I did find a minivan with one of it's parts waay out of place - Floating in mid-air near it.
But other than that, it's an awesome GREAT map to explore and find boxes of explosives and stuff :P
Nice work Red
-
This is great Red ^_^ FH froZe then after a min or so It gave me a bad token and such then I went in again and it worked, Just a tip for some people ^c^
But.
This.
Is.
EPIC

That's exactly how it works for me too. It must not like the first time you enter it
-
Red... the map gives me serious lag... I have the settings on its lowest (i think) but I'm wondering... How exactly can I reduce the lag? D:
-
Change it from OpenGL to Direct3D9 in your video options The Fh will bee all in african grass but i do it to the game don't give me bad token when i go to flourite :|
-

I already have it on Direct3D9... .-. OpenGL is laggy on my computers for some reason...
-
i cant wait! Altair will love it
-
LOL. THE FLAGS. XD Quite awesome tho.
-
I have not downloaded de map yet, butit looks great Red. I like how you put "Fun" Into maps :D
-
I love this map. So many nifty nooks and crannies to explore! Thanks, Red! ;D
-
Very cool!
-
I really love the map Red. When i come here sometime first place i'm going to is that ommy nommy dinner!
-
I totally downloaded zis! Thank chu Redfloof for ze floofy city~ ;3
-
So going to download.
-
Every time I tried to download it, my computer said it had a virus or something and would remove it...
-

Its just a false antivirus alarm, this pack its safe.
-
Wonderful Map, I love the detail, and objects.~c:
-
Thanks for the kind words guys.
And just as thierry mentioned, the download itself is a safe one.
-
The road for me is a yellow stripe thingy,why? D:
-
Missing texture.
I'm guessing you installed using the ZIP placing all your files in yourself, and in that case you must read the README included and follow the instructions provided. If you misplace the ground texture for the asphalt or miss it, it will show up with yellow and black stripes.
-
cool!!
-
I heard about a movie playing in the cinema playing today when is it?
-
Great Job Red!!!
-
Beautiful map Red. Just the littlest of things can make a map very nice. :3
Keep it up!
-
Awesome map, really awesome
-
COMPLETE AMAZINGNESSSSSS 030
-
Does this bring viruses? Im just wondering :P
-
Does it still lag/crash? ;3; My dad won't allow any downloads that do. >.>
EDIT: It worked on the first try! Although it almost crashed. And it is a bit laggy... :P But still. AWESOME map, Red. Thanks!
-
I still love this map. .O.
-
Looks great, mon amie. Cant wait to play on it! But where is the portal to it? :-\
-
Looks great, mon amie. Cant wait to play on it! But where is the portal to it? :-\
after installing the map and restarting the game, if all is done correctly the portal should be at the cape of distant worlds.
Ask anyone where is the cape if you dont know.
-
I love you x'DD
-
Very different, I love it! Keep up the good work.~ c:
-
aww yeah....
wait.. do i have to download the meshes first or do they come in the map download?
-
They come in the map download
-
Beautiful. I love it! :D

I dowland it and I havent got it in the game... :( when?
