Can someone please help me,I made a map and uploaded all the files to media fire but people are complaining that they don't work because they are cfg files.I looked at some maps other people have made and there files are not cfg. I think i might need to change the cfg files to the same ones as other maps, but i don't know how and i don't even know what to change the files to.Please can someone help me, I'm lost.

First of all, this belongs in the Game Help section. Second, when exporting a map, it shouldn't immediately go to a .cfg file. It should export as .fhm, .fhs, .fhw, and .fho. You might be able to change the file types if you go into your libraries and right click it.

(Mods will probably move it anyway but just so that you know for the future :) )

ok so is that the order to change the files in? fhs then the next folder fhw and so on? and sorry about not puting post in the game help section. and i will next time
-
You need to go into your map maker and export your map from there. Once you export the map you get the files you need in the correct format in your "exports" folder. You shouldn't have to go through all this hassel if you're doing it right.
-
ok i tried to export it again but it keeps saying it failed to export
-
i tried downloading the map, and all the files were cfg!
-
ye thats what im trying to get fixed
-
ok i tried to export it one more time, and this time its worked!
-
Ok and are the files in the correct format? As Ferrin said:
It should export as .fhm, .fhs, .fhw, and .fho.
ETC...
-
ye there were only two though
-
What are the two files that came out? Can you take a screenshot your exports folder so we can see what's going on with your map files?
-
how do i send a screenshot?
-
ok i cant send scren hsots it says my upload file is full. but the files that show up are fhs and fhm
-
Ok the fhm file should be the map file itself and the fhs I believe is the sky file. I'm not to much of an expert on map making but since there is no fho files I assume you used default objects like the objects that came with the game not custom objects you made yourself or downloaded?
-
well i did use one type of downloaded object, it was a hammock i used a few times in the map.
-
im so confused. why did they download as cfg files though?
-
I really don't know if this would help but Lauren did you place that hammock in it's own object group? Again I'm not an expert on this whole map making business but since it's a custom object it should have its own group that way it doesn't mix up with the actual default objects. That could be why it's not showing up yet. Make sure its got its own group and then reexport.
-
what do you mean by its own group? (im really new to a lot of this)
-
You know how you have object folders in the Media folder that say Rocks, Trees, etc those would be the default object groups. You have to make a new folder with a new name that doesn't match the default object groups for custom items.
-
ok so if i make a folder with a new name it should work? what if i put it in my objects or something? would it come up in the same file as the rest of the objects?
-
It should work if you put it in a new folder with it's own name that doesn't match the default folder's names. Then reexport and tell me what happens.
-
i cant seem to find the object, if i give you a link to the download could you download it and see if there are any palm trees with leaves that look like a hammock in the map, they should be easy to spot.
-
Alright send me what you have of your map files so far and I will check it out for you.

http://femalealphawolf.deviantart.com/art/Feral-Heart-Map-345873590 (http://femalealphawolf.deviantart.com/art/Feral-Heart-Map-345873590) ok both files are in separate downloads so you will to download both. the palm trees should be easy to spot and anyway im in the map so i can easily show them to you.
-
now i see you right, there should be some palm tree hammocks but now there are not. becuase now after looking closely i cant see them,
-
That means you'll have to find that object file where ever it is saved and put it into the custom group before reexporting and testing the map.
-
ok ill just have to find it.
