Title: Terrain textures and water reflections
Post by: Toxicthewolf9 on November 27, 2015, 08:28:43 pm
Can someone please help me? Every day I get onto feral heart... and the terrain texture is like "Toxic, I will never work for you" this is what the terrain looks like every time!

Did you mess with your FeralHeart terrains? Try going here (http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=44252.0) and re-downloading the default terrain textures.

As for your water reflection issue, have you tried changing your rendering systems around? It could be some type of glitch.

Hope this helps!

Hi, I guss I can help <3 Ok so, firstly, FH uses two randering subsystems- Direct3D and OpenGL. If you want to have pretty water and terrain, you have to switch on OpenGL! You are probably on Direct3D.
To switch to OpenGL, follow these steps:
1 Open FeralHeart.
2 Then click on "Options"
3 Then clickie ok "Video"
4 There you have "Randering subsystem"!
5 Now click on OpenGL!
6 Here you go! You switched it! Now you have to restart FeralHeart.

Once you restarted, you are having pretty water you wanted. Also, I'd like to mention that while on  Direct3D, you can't see water reflection. Reflecion can be seen only when using OpenGL. Also, OpenGL causes more lag so If Fh lags hard or crashes, I reccomend switching back to Direct3D :) Steps for this are exactly same, only exception is that you have to click on Direct3D, not OpenGL!
Hope it helped :)

No I didn't mess with terrains, and also the OpenGL... once I change to that it crashes...

Then maybe some files are corrupted (but I doubt that) or more likely, your computer isn't strong enough to hold it on better graphics :/ Mine is sorta like that too, so don't worry, you are not alone XD

This is gonna be a pretty long stretch but, have you tried re-installing FeralHeart completely? (Include deleting the FH folder entirely)
