Map Crashes
« on: July 29, 2014, 10:42:47 pm »
Yes, I went and read other posts about this, but none helped. The map was working very well untill I downloaded a darkness mod, I didn't like it so I got rid of the mod and then Feral Heart wouldn't work so I redownloaded Feral heart and then the map, and now the map won't work. ;-; Suggestions would be great. Other maps are working also. I don't know what is wrong.

Have you tried changing your rendering system and looking for double particles?
Quote from: AlphaEclipse
Changing the game's rendering system from outside the actual game is quite simple.
First, go into C: > Feralheart. If you look at the FH main folder, you will see a file called:
"orge.cfg"
Click it, and open it with "notepad" or any other program that you can edit text files with. Doesn't ask to change it? Right click the file (make sure you're not clicking the Feralheart folder itself) go to properties > " change..." and search for notepad on your computer,

Look at the first two lines in the orge.cfg file. That is where you change the game's rendering system to either OpenGL or DirectX.

If you followed everything that was typed and the instructions in the pictures, you should have successfully switched your rendering system.

Didn't work? Keep reading.

-Solution 2-
The next (hopefully) solution is also simple. Simply search for Fearl Heart's folder in your computer and open it. You'll see a bunch of folders and some files. Look for the folder named "media" and then click it. Once you see all of those new folders, click the "particles" folder. (Simplified: C:/Feralheart/media/particles) You'll see some random files in there with strange names such as star aura, etc. Those particles are those moving animations in game, like the smoke in Sky's Rim. Sometimes when the game crashes or you accidentally install a map incorrectly, those particle files duplicate, and you do not want that to happen. If you see any particle files that end with a _0, _1, and so on, delete them. That's a possible reason why Feralheart crashes once it turns on. Computers aren't very good at distinguishing differences in files with the same names, unless they are different file extensions. Sometimes particles can also find their way into the my_objects folder which is in C:/Feralheart/media/objects/my_objects. If you still don't see any, you can also search in computer "particle."
Also, when you reinstalled the game, did you make sure the entire folder was deleted? Does the game crash or do you get an error such as "cannot connect to front server?"

Well, the rendering system was already changed, and there were no duplicates. Hmm.. And yea I am sure I deleted the files completely. Maybe it's just my computer.
