 Hello, I have been working on a map lately and I seem to have hit a snag. In the map and object maker everything appears just fine, but when I access the map in game through 'Cape of Distant Worlds', certain meshes do not show up. I am a bit of a beginner at map making, so I am not familiar with these issues or what to do. If needed I can try and post screenshots. Any advice is appreciated, thank you.

Make sure you add the custom objects to their own object group! This is a common problem.

Alright, once you've downloaded your files and put them into my_objects, you open up Object Maker in Feralheart. Using the name of the .mesh file, you type it into where 1 is. So, if the mesh file was called "treehouse.mesh", you type that exactly in, including the '.mesh'.

In 2, the mesh might fill it in automatically, but if it doesnt you will also need to put the exact name of the material in here to colour it. So, if the material is called "treehouseMat", thats what you put.

After that, name it, then make a group for it according to the map you're making. If you were making a "Jazzy Forest" map, then the object group could be called "JazzyForestObjects", etc. You can put many objects into the same group.

 Thank you! The meshes did come in their own group, but I did edit them a bit (added walls, fireplace, ect.) then created a new object in the same group. I added them to their own and they show up fine now, thank you kindly for your help. +Karma
