Title: FH crashes when exporting a map
Post by: Elaysa on March 13, 2016, 04:44:12 pm

Hello,

I recently made a new map, but every time I try to export it, my FeralHeart crashes.

I tried to reinstall my FH a couple of times, but that did not work. I also removed a couple of unused/base white objects from my object folders, but that did not work either.

I'll admit, I'm no map-expert. Are you sure you have all the items in the correct folder? If a item is not, Feral Heart will crash.

Yes, I have.

Ah, I wish I could help then. Other players are better at this kind of stuff then I am. Best of luck to you.

A map will sometimes crash upon attempt to export for several reasons:

-The map is too large
-There are an overload of items it's trying to export
-Your computer simply can't handle it (uncommon)
-There are duplicates in your media folder*
-Meshes you downloaded were loaded in the object maker and saved to a Default group rather than their own group. (Default groups include My Plants, My Rocks, etc.)

*Check your media folder, look in particles, textures, terrains, etc. Anything ending with a _0 or _1 needs to be deleted. Often it's a problem with particles.

If I may ask, what are your map's dimensions?

Adding onto what Bloo. said, make sure your image size is 513x513 pixels. Also, I'd recommend using GIMP for map making. c:

I used to have this issue as well, but basically it should be able to export (unless if it's an issue that Bloo mentioned). However, if FH freezes up, do not click the screen. This will cause crashing. If it freezes, it's probably because of a missing texture or something, so simply do not touch your computer until FH responds again, and then you should be good to go

I had to thank for all these suggestions, but, unfortunately, none of them seems to be working. I tried to remove a few meshes and stuff, but nothing mentioned there did not work.

Are there any particles in the map? Try removing all of them

Well, I used a couple of particles, but I removed them, because they caused a couple of crashes. So, I removed them.

In the end, I removed a couple of files, and then the map somehow managed to export without crashing. So, I guess that this problem is solved? Anyway, thanks all for help ^^

You may have had a few corrupted files in there, which is why after removing them you were able to export the map successfully. I'll lock this up for you now since you've fixed the issue.
