Custom objects not appearing for others in my map?
« on: July 06, 2011, 04:08:15 am »
My friends downloaded my map, but they can't see my custom objects/meshes.

I've been searching this for about 3 days now, but I couldn't really find much help about creating .fho files for your map.
Do .fho files appear in the terrains folder when you export your map?
The map and default objects show up fine.

Basically, what I'm asking is how can I make a .fho file for my map to go along with the map download so the custom objects show up in others games?

I'm new at map making, so any answers are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Nothing you give anyone should be from your terrains folder.
When you export a map, it exports a .fhm for the map. If it has objects, it exports a .fho with that. Same for weather and sky. (.fhw, .fhs)
Once you export a map, the .fhm and the other files are in you "exports" folder.
If you are using custom objects, I recommend that you go to object maker and load one of those custom objects and click export. That'll export it better. Then send your friends the .fhm and .fho to put into their exports folder. (and send them .fhw .fhs files if you used weather or sky)

Hope that helps. :)

Crazy, next time, please make your own thread.
Now, have you tried switching rendering subsystems under "Options?"

@deannaaa: You're welcome. ^^
