Title: I need help with maps (again)
Post by: unnbrellas on August 12, 2013, 01:20:43 pm

Maps are being jerks to me. Anyway, here we go.

How do I get waterfalls?? I cant figure it out.
Alot of the items in object maker come up white (Marshmellows) - Help??
What are particles?
How do I put 6 different textures instead of 3?
How do I re-texture?
Is there a limmit on how big they can be?
How do I make maps connect to other maps? (A tourtorial link for this would be fine)

Thanks!

How do I get waterfalls?? I cant figure it out. - You need to make one in the Object maker. Too lazy to explain. xc
Alot of the items in object maker come up white (Marshmellows) - Help?? - Your missing some textures.
What are particles? - Particles are little effects you can make to decorate your map.
How do I put 6 different textures instead of 3? - I'm not sure, I think it's a 3 texture limit.
How do I re-texture? - You need to find textures in the media>terrains>textures
Is there a limmit on how big they can be? - I think so.
How do I make maps connect to other maps? (A tourtorial link for this would be fine) - This shall solve your problem. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IB7PjgGt1E4)

The main reason to this is that you would be missing textures, make sure you put ALL the files found inside the folder of objects you downloaded into FeralHeart\Media\Objects.

What are particles?
Particles are objects with transparency that have a movement cycle. Things like fish, fireflies, insects and butterflies. You can find some here. (http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=11142.0)

How do I put 6 different textures instead of 3?
Like this. (http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=13363.0)

How do I re-texture?
You find the image texture of the object/item/mesh then open it up in Gimp/Photoshop and you then jut replace the image with another to fit or draw on top of it. Once that's done, you save it and done. Pretty easy~

Is there a limmit on how big they can be?
What? Maps? No, I wouldn't say there was a limit. If there was, I don't really know about it yet xD but you know that you've reached a limit of the map size once you start crashing I guess.

How do I make maps connect to other maps? (A tourtorial link for this would be fine)
Flightsing has that covered.

Thank you both, it really helped!

But Im still having trouble with the marshmellow meshes. I thought I put everything in my objects - could that be it? Only certain ones are doing it...
The main one that I need is a hourse one. I saw the texture in my my-objects folder, but it wont recognize it.

Oh, my mistake >.< It's 'My Objects' not Objects, my apologies.

But if it still doesn't work, Try these.

1: Go into 'My Objects' and search for the config (.cfg) file of the object that has no texture.
2: Open it up in Notepad
3: Find the Material name (ending in .png or .jpg)
4: Open up the Object in object maker
5: Find where the material name is supposed to be
6: Type in the Material name you saw in Notepad
7: Refresh the Object

Tip: Make a separate group for your objects, don't save them in the default groups.
