I need help with Map Maker

[Shazadah]

I've begun to make my first map, and I want to save it so I can load it later and pick back up from where I left off, but when I click save it keeps saying "Invalid Map Name". What am I doing wrong? Also, I want to add a waterfall to my map, so how do I do that? Please someone help me its making my computer lag and I'm getting frustrated!

First of all, you cannot have spaces in your Map Name. You can then save once you fix it. Then if you want to have a waterfall exit back to the title screen, then click tools. Click Object Maker then click on the tab that says Meshes. There are two boxes then those boxes with the Y and X axis and stuff. Type in the box at the top 'Waterfall.mesh' then click Add New at the bottom. A waterfall will appear. Click back to the first tab and in the box labeled Name type in Waterfall. Then type in what group you want to save it in (I saved mine in Default). And that should do it! Hope this helped!

Thanks this helped me very much, but how do I get my map into the game so that it is accessable and playable?

Load your map in Map Maker and make sure the "Has Portal" box is checked, this will make the portal to your map appear in Cape of Distant Worlds.

If you want to share your map with other players, load your map and click the Export button.

This will export the following files:

- .fhm the map
- .fho the object groups used
- .fhs and .fhw the custom sky and weather cycle (if you used one)

If you go to your Exports folder ( Feralheart>> Exports ) you will find those files there. Make a new folder on your desktop and drag all those files there.

I would recommend compressing the folder after moving the files there, this makes uploading/downloading a lot easier. I can tell you how to do that if you want

Now just go to a site such as www.mediafire.com for example and upload the whole folder there. Then just give the download link to your friends.

All they have to do is move the downloaded files into their Exports folder and the portal will appear in Cape for them.

I hope that answers your question

Ok thanks, I'll give this a try

Alright no worries, let me know how it works out

[Shazadah]

Ok I have found it and I am in the map, but I can't move within the place for some reason

Do you mean you cannot move at all? Are you just stuck in one spot and are you actually in the map and not outside it?

[Shazadah]

Its fine now, I can move around, but the portals don't work and some of the things in the map I can't stand on I just go right through them
