Noob question.. Map pack doesnt work?

[Toxik]

I have put the map pack into the folder export, Like i was told. But whenever i go to Distant Worlds, Its just not there.

The map pack is an .exe file which you run and then it installs the map for you, if you place it inside the exports folder you are doing it wrong.


The download from this site is just a torrent file, you need top open this with a torrent program such as utorrent, it will then download the map pack file which is an exe file.

Once that's done, you run the .exe and it installs it for you putting those inside the game.

What I think you did here was that you saved the "torrent file" onto your computer and then pasted it into the exports folder? When you are meant to open this torrent file with a torrent program in order for your download to start.

Sorry if this is not the case, but I believe it's something like this that happened to you.

We did download the install from Torrent, ran the install and it seems that all the required files are where they are supposed to be.

I now have an \FeralHeart\exports\pathways.fhm

I also have a several files in \FeralHeart\media\terrains\fhmaps dated june 9th (which I suppose are files that were installed using the install).

But still - can't see any portals in cape of distant worlds.

FH.logs has the following entries

Capabilities:: VertexProgram: YES
Capabilities:: FragmentProgram: YES
Sound:: Initialized: YES
LoadFile::Overwriting Particle Template: StarAura
ERROR::LoadFile::cannot find Animals.object
ERROR::WorldObject: failed to load ObjectGroup Animals
ERROR::LoadFile::cannot find Animals.object
ERROR::WorldObject: failed to load ObjectGroup Animals
ERROR::LoadFile::cannot find Animals.object
ERROR::WorldObject: failed to load ObjectGroup Animals
ERROR::LoadFile::cannot find Animals.object
ERROR::WorldObject: failed to load ObjectGroup Animals

could it be related ?

help ?

It complains about an object group there, and it's the animals one as you can see, I don't know why, but it could be because you have several copies of it, or installed the map pack several times without any luck, maybe even some other mod installed?

To be really honest I don't know, but I know for certain that there's nothing wrong with the map pack installer from here

All you really do is download the the torrent file, run it with a torrent program, make sure it's 100% run the .exe that the torrent program downloaded and you're good to go.

I installed the maps just recently to see if anything was gone, but it worked all fine for me and I did nothing different.

If you did this correctly and it's not working, I'm not actually sure what you're supposed to do. From the logs there it says it cannot find the object file animals, and the exe does in fact place them correctly from the star. It's like something or someone moved these files, or they were never written into the FH folder in the first place.

If I were you, I'd just redownload and reinstall the map pack, if not luck, just do the same with the game and then the map pack. But that's only if you really want to go through the hassle to get those maps.

Well. I got it to work finally. But now i can't even go there because FH will just freeze.. Does that with every new map i get now. =/
