{*} Want to be a Developer for FeralHeart? {*}
I'm the friend that was helping her, and she wasn't making her own map, she was trying to get one in game that she'd downloaded. And I know it doe work, because about 10 other people from our RP have it, and it works for them.
How to install a map someone else made:Maps are also a big part of FeralHeart, hanging out in custom maps is usually where you have the most interesting times, but it's also a big part of joining private roleplays and feeling a bigger variation when playing.If someone made a map it's most likely put up on a download link for those who wants it. The thing is that most map includes more than just "1" single file, so these are packed into either a .zip file or .rar.Zips.zip files are easy to open and needs to programs, just right click the downloaded zip file, and choose "Extract all".This will unzip the files to a new folder with the same name, making them usable. If you don't do this, chances they'll work are extremely low.Rars.rar files is another way to pack files into a bundle. Though this requires you to have winrar or any other program that can extract these files on your computer. Winrar is free, and you can download it from their site or other sites hosting it. The .rar files works pretty much the same way, when having winrar installed, just right click the .rar file and chose extract here, and it will extract the files next to the rar in a new folder, making the files usable.Now when you have the files required extracted and all, you just need to do one more thing, and that is to paste them into your game folder. The maps works the same way as exported presets. You paste all the downloaded files into the exports folder located here:C:\FeralHeart\exportsSometimes the maps has more files than just exported .fhm and .fho such as .mesh .mat etc. If so, check the downloaded folder and see if there's any Readme for the map, and where to place the files. If there's noone, and you need help, contact the map creator.When all the files are in place, the map should be visible from within the game!Just enter the map "Cape of distant worlds" and locate the portal taking you to the map/maps.And that's how you install maps for your game.
