So I made a map. I exported it. I checked the exports folder, and the map's there. But when I go to Cape in-game, the portal's not there!
Here's what all I've tried:
1. RE-saved and re-exported my map
2.Renamed the terrain file(since it's watermiil. Yeah I'm lazy :p)
3.Checked the 'Has Portal' box
Assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Have you made another map in the game? If that didn't happen then, you might want to test if the game knows it's there. Make a blank map and add a portal to your invisible map in it, then save it under whichever name you wish. Does it show in the Cape? If such, enter it and test out the portal. Does it work there? If such, you might want to try reinstalling... This happened to me about 4 months ago, and reinstalling worked. c:

You you don't need to worry about losing anything! just please your Cfg's into screenshots or any other folder before using the patch (You MUST use the patch please.) but only the cfg's that have custom and/or downloaded things in it but DO NOT forget the markings and/or items.cfg if you have items and massmarkings. ;)

I'm not quite sure what you're addressing to. Please clarify?Have you made another map in the game? If that didn't happen then, you might want to test if the game knows it's there.

Okay, so now it exports, and the portal shows up in cape. But when I go into the map, the objects are all distorted and the rest are missing?
-
Did you export all your objects from the Object Maker?
-
Ah, so I have to export all the object I have used in the map from object maker? Like for example I've used 'Structure3' and palm trees and 'rock'. I have to export these individually?
-
Nurp. Just export the object group. ;w;
-
Didn't work :'C Map still has strange distorted objects. Plus now when I try re-exporting the map, it says 'Failed to export'
-
What it looks like

What it SHOULD look like. This is in map maker

Then this could be cause by one of the custom objects... And, whoa. Try re-exporting all the object groups or objects you modified individually, if you haven't already. Also try reinstalling as Rhia mentioned. But, them screenies just look like missing objects.
-
I try re-export objects... ''Failed to export object group Miscellaneous!''
-
Glad to hear that the map exported, but however,
the reason the objects do not work is because they must have their own object group. The ones that came with FH cannot be used. ex: Miscellaneous, MyRocks, MyTrees, etc, etc.
There is an easy way to fix this without having to remake the map as well.
Go into object maker and load all the objects used in the map individually, saving them to a new Object group. Usually, I just make the name of the group the same name as the map. Once they have all been saved into the new object group,
go to C:\FeralHeart\media\terrains
and then go into that map's folder. You'll see a .cfg that says
{MAPNAME}Objects.cfg
Open it in notepad.
Press Ctrl+H or go to Edit->Replace...
and type in the name of the old object groups one by one in the Find what: section, whichever ones you used ex Miscellaneous, MyRocks, MyTrees, etc, etc, and in the Replace what: section, you need to put the new object group's name.
So really we're just replacing all the old names with the new name of your new object group.
...Let me know if this isn't making any sense. xD

You saved your objects into different groups right? you know, made different groups. In order for a lot of objects to show up in-game like the trees that you saw in map maker but not in-game you should have saved them into different groups such as Example: DerpyStuff not like normal feralheart groups that were already there so thats all i know but i think xRubyx might be right and better of a comment so i suggest trying her suggestion before mine.

Made perfect sense Ruby, it worked! Although, just to be safe, I put aALL the objects in my new object group x)
Thanks a ton everyone! Decessei, Rihannon and Ruby, I greatly appreciate your assistance! Will put up my map as soon as it's done. Hope you'll have a look!
-
I will have a look myself mostly if there is screenshots. ;)
