How to change what map is scrolling in the title screen?
I'm sure it has something to do with replacing the Watermill.fhm, like replacing a podium.

My presets.

Good things take time, so I'll take an eternity and create something so good that the human brain can't handle the sheer goodness of it.

You can replace watermill, but in order to make it a random watermill whenever you log in, i'm not smart enough to write.
The Japanese concept of wabisabi:
The closest concept in english would be 'rustic'
They might have an old thing, one example is a favourite bowl or dish, it's broken, pieces are missing, why fix it?  With gold and pieces from other dishes?

I actually did this once. I made a map and totally rewrote the watermill .fhm file. Don't know if it's where you can do that anymore or not but that's just how I did it last...accidentally.

I'm currently at a computer without FH installed on it, but I'll give it my best shot lol

Previous of the update, you could open mapmaker and scroll to the very bottom of your list of maps and Watermill would be there, you could edit the terrain and objects and sky if you wanted and as long as it saved, the edited version would appear behind your login screen. Now, I'm not entirely sure as of right now if the watermill map can be accessed through mapmaker still, but give it a look see. Keep in mind, you cannot change the heightmap of Watermill.

If there's another way to add a different map, I invite anyone who knows to add on below, I myself would find it interesting to know how. Though, I believe I read somewhere that altering the map file itself for the login screen, that is adding a different map than Watermill, would have problems regarding the camera movement within the map, hence the disability to change the actual map itself.


You are amazing <3
