Sharing custom maps with others(Solved)
« on: February 12, 2013, 12:13:42 am »
Sorry, if there is allready a topic on this, I just couldn't find one on FH, DA, youtube, or even google x_x
I made a map and everything, I KINDA understand how to export it (just push the export button, right?) but, I don't know how to arrange it in a zip file, how to MAKE a zip file, and what to put in it...Or, how to share that file. Can anyone please tell me? Or, just send me a link to a different tutorial/poll that has the same problem, but has been solved?
Thank you)

How to put things in a zip file:

1.Right click the file you want to put in a zip file and select add to archive.

2.Select zip (or rar) and name it what you want

Now you can do the same for the rest of the exported files but when doing so, you select the .zip/rar file you already made from the drop down list.

After exporting all exported files will appear in your Exports folder, Feralheart>> Exports. Files include:

- .fhm, the map.
- .fho, object groups.
- .fhs and .fhw, custom sky and weather cycles (if used)

Find the ones that match the ones from your exported map and drag them all into a new folder on your desktop.

Once done that, you need to compress it, with some Windows you can Right-click>> Send to>> Compressed Zip Folder. Otherwise you can use a program like WinRar or 7-Zip to compress it.

Go to a file sharing site such as www.mediafire.com or www.zippyshare.com and upload your compressed folder. Then you just need to give the download link to your friends. All they need to do is un-pack the compressed folder and drag all the exported files to their Exports folder.

A new map portal will appear at Cape of Distant Worlds :)
