Title: Map exporting - items? (FIXED)
Post by: Prideland on March 16, 2013, 04:14:00 pm

I have done my map now, for my pack, but how do i export it with the items, since i used a few meshes (one or two from a pack of meshes) and one i done in object maker (fire)
What files do i put in? There are all sorts of ones like .materials and such... sorry if my explaining isnt that clear D:

 I think you put the materials in the 'objects' folder, I might be wrong.

Well when you export it the items should stick with the map.
If you mean the files you need in order to share the map are the ones that are exported.
But I'm not sure what you really mean by that.

I mean do i just copy the objects that i put in the map, into a .zip file ready for download?

And would i put this for instructions?:
.Fhm/fho files - exports

.material files - Objects

.mp3 - sounds

.Cycle/.sky - Sky

Would that be right?  :S

And do only default items stick with the map~? And everything i downloaded for the map, too?
Sorry so many questions, this is my first map ^^;

So you did a map and exported it and you just want to get it ready for a public download?
If thats what it is then yea put all the exported files into a file then share it on a site such as mediafire.

I think I know what you're talking about..Do you mean this..?

FHM file is in FH-Exports or FH-Media-Terrains

FHO files go into FH-Media-Objects

FHS/FHW files go into FH-Media-Sky

(This is where you put the different types of map pieces in))

You're talking about custom meshes in your map I'm guessing? When you were making your map you need to make sure that you placed any downloaded custom meshes into their own object groups before exporting your map. If you included custom meshes along with the default groups they will not work when you share the map so really that's the most you have to worry about in terms of the files. When it comes to actually exporting your map to share it like Tokoa said you go into the map maker and export it then go into your "Exports" folder which is located in C:/>Feral Heart>Exports. All the files you'll need to share your map are there and they will have your map's name right on them. Copy those into a new zip folder and then you can upload those to a file sharing site like mediafire.com etc and share the link with your friends.
