Disappearing Material Files. Anyone had this?
« on: March 02, 2017, 08:11:55 pm »
So some material files existed.  After adding one new line of code all but one of them no longer works.

 
"Material 'name of mat' not found!"

Is the error thrown at me.  It's getting progressively worse as they are being forgotten.  How is this possible?  Tried removing potential .fho files, tried resaving the material files.  Nothing helps.

Honestly I would just redownload Feralheart and then grab their files and replace it to your main Feralheart file and then delete the duplicate game.
Unless you mean for a preset?

Map objects.  They still show when i test it, but i can't edit it or anything because it thinks they don't exist anymore.

Hmm, that is odd.
What line of code did you add?
In what folder(s) are the objects placed?
Are you certain they are the correct type of file?

Hello Kuri!

You might have deleted an object that was in your Maps folder.
Try checking for it, and if it isn't there, feel free to go to Bawfle's FH folder replacements and do so that way; or just re-install the item pack you were missing items from.

Good luck and let me know if this works.<3

After crafting 200 new objects with success this problem has returned. Saved as a material file, was working perfectly fine...  all of a sudden they cannot be found any longer.  i can open the file and read it but feralheart cannot see it any longer.

Not sure if this is related but i found when tabbed out, the FH window now refreshes frames when previously it had not.  Started doing it about the time it ceased to recognize new material/meshs and forgot the old ones.
