Title: New to Map Making. Object Help?
Post by: cookiesincrem on June 07, 2013, 08:42:36 pm

So I'm working on a map and I needed a palm tree. I saw it was already in the FH objects, but how do I get it so I can put it in-game? Also, if I'm to download an object from the forums, where do I put it to get it in-game?  Thanks!

There is a palm tree in Feral Heart.
 

• Go onto the game of Feral heart and go into Tools.

• Then click on Object Maker which is the first one of the options.

• When it opens, there will be three tabs, Object, Mesh and Collision.

• Click on Mesh.

• In there you will see at the very start a box that is labeled Mesh. The box is under the word.

• In that box, type in Palm1.mesh and you should get a palm tree.

• Go back to the Object Tab.

• Type in a name. It can be whatever you want.

• Type in a group. Do not save it into Default, Miscellaneous, MyTrees, MyPlants or MyRocks. It will not work in game if you do. Make your own Group and call it whatever you want.

If you download a mesh from the forums...

• Click Download.

• Open the file by clicking 'Open'.

• Open the folder.

There's usually a file called Readme or something like that but if there isn't follow these steps:

• Put all the files in FeralHeart>>Media>>Objects>>My_Objects

• If there is a .object file... ((There shouldn't be for one mesh.)) Drag the .object files into your FeralHeart>>Media>>Objects folder.

• If there isn't an .object file then here's what you need to do. Look at the files you just pasted or moved into your My_Objects folder.

• There should be a .mesh file. ((If it is just one single object.))

• Remember the name of that .mesh file as you go into the game again.

• Go into Tools, Object Maker, Mesh.

• Type in the name of the mesh file into the mesh box. Click Add New, the object should appear.

• Save it. Remember, don't put it in the default folders, make your own folder.

Hope this helped.

Whenever I put it in the downloaded object maker, it says that the file cannot be found. How do I fix that?

You download a mesh and trying to put it in right? Make sure you types the file in correctly. If the file was called Palmtree.mesh then in Object Maker you need to type in Palmtree.mesh

The exact same thing.

Yes, but it doesn't work when I put in an object downloaded from the forum. It either says the object cannot be found, or the games shuts down

Did you place all the files in My_Objects?
