Map portal help
« on: June 05, 2018, 04:33:52 am »
I was trying to download the 1.13 to 1.15 maps to play with one of my friends. I'm putting things where they should go, but when I enter Cape, there are no portals, nor banners to tell me where said portals are. Other maps also failed.
My friend, with working map portals, lended me their exports folder, as the maps were all complete in the folder. But still, none of the portals will show up in Cape! I don't understand why they aren't working. Presets and other mods work just fine

Just going to make sure, but are you sure you placed all .fhm, .fho, .fhs (if provided) and .fhw (if provided) into Local Disk (C:) \\ FeralHeart \\ exports. If you have then you should be able to see and enter the map through it's portal. Thing is, the custom map portals are so difficult to see in Cape of Distant Worlds because of how transparent and how dark the area is. The first portal will be found directly to your left or right, behind the small hill where the stone arches are.

If you're still having a hard time finding them, I suggest you download and install my portal mod to the game. Custom Portals - Improved

A few reminders.

Most people put the files together into either a .zip or .rar file. You as a user must also unpack/extract/unzip or whatever you want to call it before you actually put them in your game. Please make sure you unzip the folder before installing them since some people forget this.

Do you actually put the maps into the correct game? In theory you could have an endless amount of different FH games/folders on your computer as long as you have space for such, if you install the maps into a copy of the game you aren't even running the maps will not show since the game does only locate maps within it's own folder.

If you are one hundered percent certain that you do everything correctly when it comes to the installing of custom maps it could be a chance that the map creator did not create portals properly, but if you know that others can play it then you are most likely doing something wrong and need to track back your steps until you do it right.

the .fhm file is really the only thing that matters when it comes to getting a portal in cape, so it must be used the right way and place in the correct place, otherwise no portal will show.

I followed my friends instructions and unzipped their file then replaced the exports file on FH with that one but it still doesn't work,they're all in exports like they're suppose to be and they work for my friend
they also gave me a mod for portals but I don't think it'd work if the maps don't work

Did they [map creator] forget to add a portal for the map?

I don't think so because my friend is using the same one and it's working for them,it's a download from someone here too which she had linked me to

I'm the one who sent Windfoot the map pack's link, and I can confirm that everything is running smoothly for me. No wrongs here.
The exports, on my end at least, have all the proper files and the like-- and even work when you enter. The objects in the 1.13 pack were already installed, but everything else in the folder went where it belonged.

I have suggested a full reinstall of the game as well as merely restarting.

~*Edit 6/14*~

A full swap of her game's files with mine revealed SIX HUNDRED AND TWENTY-NINE MISSING FILES from her download. We have all the same mods, all the same edits, but now her portals are fixed.
This thread can be locked and labeled as resolved.
