Title: About maps..
Post by: Nyxen on February 13, 2014, 09:00:16 am
 :-[ I'm so confused.... So I thought I'd go look up some videos and try to understand the whole thing.... But instead my confusion  became worse  :'( So can someone take a second to explain in depth what the maps are for, etc etc etc.... Like trying to tell a 3 year old about something they've never seen, or heard of before......  :-\ other wise I'll probably never understand

Maps are made for public or private use.
A little more explanation please.

If you wish to learn how to make one, PM me. ;)

You should try out Crin's tutorial on map making.

Click me: Crin's Tutorial on Map Making (How to Make your First FH Map) (http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=17452.0)

Note that the "second" part of the tutorial is just making different textures of the terrain, the "first" part is the simple part - how to make the map itself. If you need any help feel free to post here and I'm sure others will be willing to help.

If not, and you would like another map, you can peek at the other wonderful tutorials in the Map Making tutorial area. I'll give a link so it will be easier~

Crin's tutorial there is very useful indeed.

By ''what maps are for,'' do you mean what they are? Maps are the little worlds like Fluorite Plains and Temple Of Dreams. When making them, they should have one layer, be greyscale, and have the size of 513x513. Follow Crin's little guide, and you'll be an expert in no time!

^-^ well I hardly know anything about maps right now, so I don't think I'm ready to make one yet, but thank you.  :D I kind of just wanted to know things like, "how do you download them?" "why is there maps set for private use?" or "why are they made?", etc. I just don't really understand, so I was hoping someone would explain them to me, and how they work and things I'd probably need to know about them.

O: That makes a little more sense. And I was already planning to do that, thank you very much ;u;

Maps are separate terrains used for roleplaying in your own terrain without beind disturbed. That's why people usually make maps.
Here's how to download them:
