Valis Map
« on: February 09, 2013, 08:01:14 pm »
So.. I made a map, exported it, and copied the exported files into a compressed or zipped file to upload on mediafire. When I went to cape of distant worlds to enter my map, (after it was exported) The title did not show up. When I went through the portal, it said 'Cannot find map file'. So, I deleted the exported files out of the FeralHeart exports and it was working fine after I deleted them. So, what do I do? ;-;

A glitch probably., but you don't have to add your own export files to your exports because you have the map already, since you made it. (Confusing...^_^;)
Now, if it's like that for the other people that download your map then that could be a glitch too.

I'm no expert on map business since I have never made one myself but try reexporting but this time make sure you typed the map name correctly in the map maker.

Yeah but make sure you're typing in the map's name not the display name. Also did you make sure that your map file is in your terrains folder? I guess you can also always check your map's portal coordinates.

You can refer to this for extra tips maybe ^_^:

I've seen plenty of people ask me and other map makers about this topic, so here, I'll tell you what'cha need to do :U

Step 1) Open up one of the two or more maps in FH map maker.
Step 2) Go to where you want a person to appear and write down the coordinates.
Step 3) Open the map that you wish to link to, and then go to the object tab, you should see this.. (Don't mind my purpleness >V)(Where stuff is black, it means stuff is going to be blank :P)


Step 4) Write the name of the map your linking it to here


Step 5) Put in the coordinates you gathered earlier, in my case, it looks like this.


Step 6) Press "New Gate" to make either a portal appear, or check the Black Material box to make a cave entrance like the one at Ficho.
Step 7) Place the portal.  It acts like an object.  In the controls area, you can use the Y-scale on the object to make it larger or smaller.  You can also use Pitch, Yaw, and Roll.
Step 8] After you place it, write down the coordinates from THIS map on where you want them to appear when entering, and save.
Step 9) Go to the other map, and repeat the procees.  Remember to put the portal/cave entrance near where you put where your character appears at!

EDIT:~

When entering a name for the map your linking it to, you MUST link its Map Name, and NOT its Map Display Name.  You must match it perfectly,  because its case sensitive!

Alright good luck. Let us know how it turns out. If that doesn't work I have heard some users fix this problem by uninstalling the game deleting the Feral Heart folder and then reinstalling. I don't know if that could work for you but it's worth a try. Just be sure to back up your important files like your presets and your maps. I hope something here works for you.
