Hi, so I'm working on this map and it keeps saying "FeralasTrees Material Not Found!" whenever I export it. How do I fix this? Does the file need to be somewhere else or can I just put it in the compressed folder for download? Even then, would those who download it have to put it in their materials folder or something? Thanks!

'Allo deary. So ye say it cannot be found. Can ye locate the supposed missing file in y'er materials folder f'er me? If this was from a downloaded mesh pack, it could be very possible that 'twas f'ergotten and not placed inside the folder when the download was created.
Also, if FeralHeart cannot find the file, ye are most likely not able to see the material in-game y'erself. So what is probably occurring is when FeralHeart goes to export the object group this file is included in, it is not there and the error pops up. F'er example if the file is in MyRocks and ye 'ave used rocks in y'er map, when the game goes to export the rocks group, it notices that a file is missing in the group and warns ye.
I 'ave a few object groups that give me this error every time I export a map. I know the mesh/material isn't there, so I just ignore it. I wouldn't be too concerned. If the file is missing, ye can't use it anyway. Therefore, 'tis like 'tisn't there in the first place.
But if the missing file is located in the correct folder, ye may 'ave a problem on y'er hands. Hope this helped ye, deary!

The material file is in "my objects". is it supposed to be here? All the material files for all of my other objects are here so I don't know why this one would be different...? I can see the materials on the meshes just fine both in map maker and when I'm logged in and go in through Cape.

Yessum, that be where it should go. Perhaps there is a typo in the material file itself that is making it appear unregistered by FeralHeart. Open it up and take a look at the file names listed in the material file and make sure no typos are found. Also check what file type everything is and make sure it corresponds to the material file's contents.
Did ye make this material file/objects or did ye download these?
-
I downloaded them and it has worked fine for others. I found no typos in the file either regarding the material names.

It could be that the material file has b'come corrupted. Ye could possibly try redownloading the mesh pack and taking the newly downloaded material file and replace the one ye 'ave now. Of course, this is just a shot in the dark as I 'ave never had a problem with any material files just not working.
Or, if ye would be so kind as to provide the contents of the material file, I could take a peek to see if I can find any errors in the actual coding. It may be how the original maker created the coding.

Ah, redownloading worked actually! So simple haha. Thank you!
