All you have to do to share your map is upload it on any file sharing website like 4shared.com or mediafire.com etc. I use mediafire but you'll need to make an account on the site before being able to upload any files. Once you have an account on any of these sites you'll have to export your map in the map maker and copy & paste all the files from your exported map into a new zip folder and upload it to the file sharing site. From there you can distribute your map link to anyone you like.

Do you mean images of your map or an actual download? How about sharing it on the Feralheart website first before making your own website :)

Go to this tutorial for getting the images to show: http://feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=8658.0 (http://feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=8658.0)

To share a map you must firstly load your map in Map Maker then click the Export button.

In your "Exports" folder you will find the following files: .fhm (the map file), .fho (the object groups), .fhs (a custom sky if you used one), .fhw (a weather cycle if you used one).

Gather all these files together into one folder and compress it.

Go to a site such as www.mediafire.com (http://www.mediafire.com) or what i use www.zippyshare.com (http://www.zippyshare.com) and upload the compressed folder.

When its finished uploading, give the download link to your friends. They must then download it and place all those files into their "Exports" folder.

If you have any music files they will have to be placed into the download also, once downloaded they need to be placed into the "sounds" or "music" folder. Both work.

Sure you can do that but I suggest that once you get the link you condense it at tinyurl.com and then share it in your bio :3. You can also private message your friends the map link here on the forum or post the map for public download in the map section of the forum.

If you're wanting to share the map with your group then just type in the download link into the group bio :) Feralheart won't let you copy and paste I'm afraid.

What do you mean? You shouldn't be trying to open the files. If you are in fact trying to share a map you created to friends you just go to the map maker in game, load the map, export the map and then go to your exports folder and you should find a bunch of files in there like: .fhw, .fhs, .fho, and .fhm. Those files you simply copy and paste into a new zip folder you create on your desktop top. Then you upload that zip on the file sharing site.

Once you have your file uploaded and in your My Files part of MediaFire, hover your cursor over the file and you should see three icons like this: (http://i45BannedImageSite/15mcxv8.png)

Click the first icon which looks kinda like a cog and click the option Share:

Then just copy the download link and give it to your friends :)
