Title: Mapping And Preset Help (Solved)
Post by: unnbrellas on July 21, 2013, 02:23:35 am
Mapping (Making A Map):
1) Where do I place the files?
2) How do I put music in the map?
3) How do I download extra meshes for the map?
4) I put some animal meshes in my map, but their tails are sticking out funny (will get a screenie soon)


Preset
1) My presets wont show- they come up yellow and black, except 1 & 2, and some I had had for me.
2 ) I lost the files with all the lines - can I get new ones somehow?


Thank You! :)

For downloading extra meshes, simply place the meshes into your my_objects folder, and some meshes require you to go into the object maker and type in the .mesh and the .material for the object. Then the object should appear, then you click on save. For putting music in your map, simply place the music file in your sounds folder, then go onto map maker and type it in under the "map" tab. And for your file-placing question, I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean for exporting/uploading your map?
And for your preset questions, I'm afraid I can't help you for the first one. (Because presets hate me.) And for the second preset question, I think this (http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=1711.0) is the thread you're looking for.

Thank you!

I mean I have no clue where to save the map files so I can place the objects in it.

Are you talking about downloaded map files? If you download a map then you place the files in your Exports folder. You can't place objects in downloaded maps though, if that's what you are asking? ;)

No, Im making a map, I have the heightmap and terrain mask, but how do I get them to where I can put objects in them.

For the map making, you place the terrain and height mask in your Terrains folder which can be found in Feralheart>Media ^^ You then go into map maker and type in the names of the height map and terrain mask in the boxes.
As for the preset, if it shows up black and yellow, there's something wrong in the coding. If you send me the material file for your preset and tell me the names of your preset image files I can fix that for you. :3

In your preset folder, there should be a file called 'preset_3.material'. Open that in notepad, then copy all of the information inside of the file and paste it either into a comment here or in a personal message on the forums. X3 And then just write down the names of your other preset files with it~

New question? Animal meshes with weird tails? It could just be how the mesh was made, floof. ^^ But if it isn't, I'll await a screenie.
