Title: Need help! Exporting map not work
Post by: MazAlgi1 on September 06, 2012, 11:34:30 pm
Hi all, i'm new here. greeting.

Well, i made a map and want to put it for download. Many custom objects on the map. I know what must i do is exporting it. i'm exporting it and i got 1 .fhm file and many .fho file. for the testing, i'm change my operating system to Windows 7 to try the map, but the result... everytime i'm going to the portal on cape of distant world, the game crashes.

what's wrong with my map? i'm already put the entire exported file to my second feralheart but not work. any idea please :(

Why, welcome!
This has happened to me several times. This might be happening due to graphical lag. You can try opening Options and lowering your View Distance, as well as setting water reflections to 0. This may also be caused by the map being down though, if 'Failed to connect to the map server.' shows. The .fhm and .fho files are good - it exported properly. But the custom object part is just a lead to lag while it loads.

Well, to make sure i'm exported it properly or not, i will give you my exported map. HERE (http://www.mediafire.com/?yjqbj5gfc8gxweu)

i'm using default weather and water. my PC spec is :

> AMD Phenom FX-5000 Quad Core Processor
> 2 GB of RAM
> HD 4670 1GB DDR3

I'm sure it won't lag cause i'm testing it on my PC it runs smoothly although i'm put all the graphic settings to max :(

Well if you haven't tried lowering your graphics settings, you should do so. A map that works fine in the map maker might be the bane of your existance in-game. Also... I believe your RAM is the DDR3, your hard drive couldn't fit the OS if it was just a GB.

Tested the map, and it's not loading here either, it seems. What's interesting is this:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'Ogre::FileNotFoundException'
  what():  OGRE EXCEPTION(6:FileNotFoundException): Cannot locate resource drekmulticastfader.png in resource group Temp/exports/Drek Particles.fho or any other group. in ResourceGroupManager::openResource at OgreMain/src/OgreResourceGroupManager.cpp (line 753)

abnormal program termination


It seems you have a missing particle file... This happened to me on my Cyberia map as I made the Pixel rain. I cleaned out exports, re-exported and it worked fine.

my RAM still DDR2, but as fast as DDR3. HD 4670 is graphic card, not Harddisk. My harddisk still remain 5 GB left, enough, right?

hmmm so the missing particles... how do i export it completely so other players can play the map smoothly?

First, try re-exporting the map and object group. If that doesn't work, check if you have all the files for the custom objects in the right place.

i have the required custom files to make my map. must i relocate .particle files from my_object folder to particle folder? that .particle came from the add ons and readme file says put all the files to my_object folder

here for the SS i made. it's online mode. i can play it on my Windows XP (my operating system to make this map)

You can play it there, but not anywhere else?

I want to test something... Make a copy of your my_objects folder in your Windows XP and merge it with the one on your Windows 7.
If it runs after this, you might have to share some .png and .particle files.

Somethin similar happened with me and it is fixed when you run the game with administrator privileges.
To do that, do right click on FH icon, then click in "Run as administrator"

If not, i agree with Decessei.

Okay, try including your particles folder only. The result for importing my_objects alongside with particles was a LOT of duplicates. Though... After cleaning out my_objects, and leaving only particles intact...
The map, works!
