Can't see maps in Cape Of Distant Worlds
« on: February 11, 2017, 07:11:22 pm »
So I downloaded a map, everything is in the right place (I checked about 1000 times) I have an improved portal texture but can't see the map (This has happened with another map I have) so can someone help?

Ah, since the update, portals 'ave become very transparent and hard to see. Look very closely on the incline part of the map- the first portals should be next to the wall that opens up to the cliff.

Tmw you planned a ten minute nap but instead took a whole year.

        as I said I downloaded a portal/gate thing and it's more clearer but the only map I can see is called PrideLands and I downloaded it but I can't see any of my other maps

Did you export your maps? They need to be exported in order for you to see them.

I presumed you were having trouble with your own maps, my apologies.

Did you place all of the map files that you downloaded into your Exports folder?

I'd recommend having only 1 map/map pack in your exports folder at a time, to avoid any conflicts that could occur do to overwriting files (especially if the maps try to modify the default objects.).

Another thing to be sure of is that you put all the exported map files in the FeralHeart/exports folder.

You could keep extra maps in a backup folder somewhere else on your PC like this "Maps/Map1+Map2+Map3", Where every name is a new folder with a different map or map pack.

Edited: Thanks Bloo.

For the sake of my own health and interests, I've left FH and I won't be looking back.

On that note, only a certain number of portals are allowed to show up in Cape, so having a ton of maps downloaded means that some of them wont show up.

Another thing to be sure of is that you put all the exported map files in the FeralHeart/exports folder. so how many maps are allowed?

  so how many are allowed at once?

I personally never found there to be a limit (sorry, Vortex!). The more maps you accumulate, the more that show up in cape. The problem is that the portals will go off the end of cape and even beyond the borders of the map if you have too many. These maps you literally won't be able to reach, even with wings equipped.

As for your map not showing up in cape, make sure you aren't placing the entire downloaded folder into exports. You need to open the folder and drag everything into the exports folder.

If that's done take a look at this.


First of all, make sure they're opening the zip folder and placing the contents in exports, not just putting the whole folder in there.
Secondly, make sure you're placing them in your LocalDisk>FeralHeart>Exports folder. Sometimes people make copies of the FH files or have copies of the game itself and misplace the files into the wrong version.

Also, an old issue that seemed to happen sometimes, is if you made a copy of your FH.exe file and pasted it onto your desktop to use as a shortcut, the portals won't show up. I didn't see this happen often, but if that's the case, try opening the FH game from within it's directory (AKA double click the .exe in your FH folder).


You are amazing <3
