Nobody can download my map!
« on: June 05, 2014, 07:57:47 pm »
I've made many maps in my 6 years of FeralHeart, and none have had any problems. This one does. I made a map, called it The Catacombs. It's an underground tunnels map, pretty awesome actually. When people try to download it, they can't get in without repetitive crashing. I know weather files sometimes do this, but there is a ceiling in the map, so no sky or weather.

The weird thing is, too, I use two computers. I make maps on my laptop (an HP), but I tend to lag a lot because it's very slow and old and has a virus I think, so I generally play on the family computer (a Mac). Whenever I make a map, I put it into a zip and download it on the Mac, so I can play there. When I downloaded The Catacombs, the Mac runs it perfectly. Slight lag, but that's all. My laptop, the one I made it on, also runs it's perfectly. I've had 3 map testers, and they can't get in no matter what.

I'm normally good at troubleshooting my own maps, and other people's, and generally everything on FeralHeart, but this is stumping me. I would really, really, really appreciate some help. If you want to see it, the download is tinyurl.com/The-Catacombs-Map. I'm currently sitting in game on the account named Graceless, if anyone could help me in game as well. Thank you!

I can try to download it and find the issue. It may be the particle files are doubling when it downloads, but I'm not positive.

That would be wonderful! If you want to talk to me in game, rather than here, I am online. Thank you!

Hmm, does this map contain any particles by any chance? It's possible that there's double partiles in their Feral Heart folders when they installed your map. It's probably best to look for particles ending in _0, _1, and so on in the following folders:
- my_objects
- particles
- exports
If you do not see any there, try asking them to change their game's subrendering systems. You can do that outside of the game by: http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=43234.0

I'm going to download an see also.

It does contain particles, yes. But one of the testers deleted the particles file completely, and it still crashed. Is it possible that something could be wrong with one of the object files? Also, when the map was half done, the best friend tested it, and it worked perfectly. There were already particles in it at the time. I didn't.. Add anything else since she tested it and it worked. I added more things, but that's all. And it's really messing me up how it works on both of my computers, but not anyone else's.

Okay! One of the testers took out each file and then replaced one, and figured out that one of the files, Catacombs2.fho is the one that crashes. I used that file A LOT in the map. I didn't re-texture anything in that file, so nothing's there. When I export it, though, it says that it can't find the material for Catacombs2.fho?

I deleted the file and it works fine, and it looks pretty good. I'm afraid I can't help you with the exporting issue. :/
