You're probably left clicking instead of right clicking.

Im doing it all, it doesn't give me the option. .3. But I took some of my old maps and uploaded them so I'm okay now. c:

o3o I've done everything... times over and my feral heart still crashes when I try to upload my file.. I have no idea what is going on and i do know that my computer should not have a problem running it. What should I do?
π: 0 β©: 1
Upload which file? Mask and terrain files in FH don't like transparencies- and although it may not look like you have any transparency in them, some odd pixels can remain.
"To fix it..
1.Open gimp, grey scale 513x513
2.Open your heigh map in paint, copy it
3.Paste it in gimp, then right click on the pasted layer in the layer tab (on the side) and Anchor layer. (This is important)
4.Save it as a new name and try it in game."
There's really no other reason why it should crash except this. So if it does not work after you try this, could you send me the original file? Β It'll be faster for me to check it than for you to describe everything about it in detail.
Oh and also, I suggest you find some other tutorials that explain map making better than this one xD //goes off to create a much easier tutorial

Hai there.
I'm having a problem after I try to open the terrain and mask in the map marker. It say's it can't find the terrain/mask.
I did it the way the said to in the correct order, but the terrain/mask won't load in.Β
I've saved it onto my desktop, tried a different name, and it still wouldn't work.Β
I'm not quite sure what i'm doing wrong, care to help?

Hi!
You either:
-Spelt the name wrong
-Didn't put the files in the right folder
Double check your spelling, including spaces and formats. Remember it needs to be put in yourdiskname/feralheart/media/terrains to work.Β
If you still can't fix the problem, note me screenshots of where you put your files, what they're named and how you type them in game.Β
Hope that helps.
ugh I really need to remake this tutorial from 2011 xDΒ

Thank you!
Β I forgot to place the files into the terrain's folder, excuse that. xD
Β Well thanks for the clarification, your tutorial helped a lot.

Ahh I see x3 No problem.

I just did what you said with that same problem and it still doesn't work...
π: 0 β©: 1
You did this?:
"You have a bit of transparency on your image.
To fix it..
1.Open gimp, grey scale 513x513
2.Open your heigh map in paint, copy it
3.Paste it in gimp, then right click on the pasted layer in the layer tab (on the side) and Anchor layer. (This is important)
4.Save it as a new name and try it in game."
If you didn't then try, but if you did then you can send the files to me and I'll try to fix it, since I really can't help you unless I see the files. (You can send them in a note, or to my e-mail dimondcookie@gmail.com) Sorry, I ain't as clever on FH as I was back in 2011 xD While you're waiting you can play around with it, change things slightly to see if it works.

yes, I tried that, and it still didn't work. I'll try to send them to you! (I'm a newb so it might take me some effort or time) Thank you for helping me!

Sent you an e-mail with the fixed files.

No problem, I'm always glad to help ; ) I'm waiting then.

Hi there! I'm having the same problem as ~SnowEnvy... I've tried everything, and I just don't know what the problem is! Could I please send you the file to fix for me...? :3

hey! Someone recommended this for me to ask here. I exported(since I have 2.8 version of GIMP) my map as a .PNG, used grayscale, have one layer, changed the name 3 times, and whenever I put my map into the space, it always opens that box saying that Feral Heart has stopped working. I double checked everything! And I do not have the bottom option checked! What could be the problem?
π: 0 β©: 0
I really do not get the first part! Help, I'm stuck!

It's not too important, so you can skip it

What do you do with the ''Map Display Name''?
π: 0 β©: 1
"Map display Name" is where you type your map name that will display in game, when you go near the portal. Like 'No Return'. It can contains spaces.
However, The "Map Name" Cannot contain spaces and is used for the files of the map. (Eg. noreturn, it doesn't even have to be capitalised as it does not matter)

P.S. a friend tell me

.....Everytime i try to connect a map to the Cape it says " Map file not found"
π: 0 β©: 1
how are you trying to 'connect' with cape?
π: 0 β©: 1
Like making the portal you enter with send you back to the cape.
π: 0 β©: 1
How are you creating the map portal in your map? If your doing in the first tab of map maker, putting the right coordinates and the yaw should work. Also try entering maps when there is not as much people on feralheart, because it might be lag problems.

Hi! I am needing a bit of help with a map.
I'm trying to make a huge map with 2 "hidden maps" inside of it. I want it so where you cant get to the map from the Cape, only from inside the main map.
I've got my Gates and everything set up, and they work. But the maps show up in Cape, and if I give someone the files in the Export folder, minus the 2 hidden maps, it doesn't work.
I just need to know how to export it correctly without having the hidden maps show up in Cape. Do you think you could help me with this?
Thank you!
π: 0 β©: 1
Go to your hidden maps in map maker. In the very first tab un tick 'Has Portal: [/]'. That way there will be no portal to cape, just the gates you put in to your map. Don't do this to your main map though. I remember I was stuck on this too some time ago. Your welcome! : )

Love your map tutorial thingy, do you how to make the maps bigger than x513? I'm trying to make a bigger one :3
π: 0 β©: 1
What do you mean? If your talking about terrain and mask, you can't make them bigger. If your talking about map size it's in the map maker called 'world size'
π: 0 β©: 1
When your opening say watermill's height map, does changing he canvas size have anything to do with making the map bigger? Yeah, my questions can be confuzzleing, I read something and I;m like that makes perfect sense and another person's like, wtf? XD
π: 0 β©: 1
No, changing the size of the heightmap will only crash the Game. Like I said, if you want to caahnge the map size do it in the map maker.

Thanks for the tip ~Thumbs up~ Sorry if I bothered you. Thanks again!
π: 0 β©: 1
Don't worry you didn't bother me 
π: 0 β©: 1
I tried this many times, over and over and still it doesn't work... Please help!
My problem: I have created a folder {copied the WaterMill folder} and only made a HeightMap for my mapped group. I try to open it in Fh but it says: 'Cannot find ___!' So I returned to GIMP and did 'anchor layer' and tried openning it in Fh again. Nothing. Also I copied and pasted the map into Paint and saved it under a .png file {Because in GIMP it's an .xcf file. And I tried that because on this tut, it was to save under .png, and in FH, the dafault map terrain is a .png file too.}
Please, tell me what is going on and how I can fix it to get the map up before my members quit! Dx
This probably seemed quite emotional and dramatic, but excuse that
Thank you.

You can save .jpg .jpeg .png and other files from GImp, just click the export button under file. You also have to make sure the map is in greyscale mode. I read off of the FeralHeart site that it's best to use the water mill height map because it's set to all the right requirements and stuff. :3 Just draw over the water mill map and export it as something else ^^

Well, I think it's because your created a folder that feralheart doesn't recognise. Maybe try putting your .png in the terrains folder, and not make a new one. That definitely works, as I tried it many times.

Okay, thanks! I'll give that a shot right now.
