Any chance this would run on my GPU-fried laptop? xD
Just thought I'd shout this out here...
I've got FH working! :wow: Yay, now I can play the game on my desktop too. ^^ Thanks for all the help, Kovu. :)
Guys, c'mon. The only way to get it to run is to delete system32.
I find that just deleting the explorer.exe fixes most of my problems.Quote:

I hope FH doesn't fry your card though, it sounds rather primitive. XD
@Shatara: Well if it does work you'll probably get weird colours and such, or it'll incinerate your GPU :p
So is there anything I can do to help you out in figuring the fluffy mane color problem? O.o
I certainly hope that doesn't happen! :ohno: Believe me, I got worried too. I had a feeling that it was the worst case scenario and that it would never work. :woe:Quote:

I've been playing around with the presets and last night I was happy with one that I made, but to save it I needed to login, and obviously I can't do that without a username and password.
I know you've been helping me enough already and you're probably getting fed up of me now :lol: but any help would be appreciated. Thanks. :)
Right, the fluffy mane problem XDQuote:

Also, may I know what's your graphics card and what version of windows you're running on?
Lastly, are you running FH on OpenGL or Direct3D?
@KS: the activation email usually takes awhile to arrive, the account server system could certainly use some improvement. Just to check, did you create an account for FH before? Just in case you might think IT's account would work here, it's a common misconception :p
EDIT: It doesn't matter. I've received the activation e-mail, but it was in my Spam folder. :wtf:
So, what are people's FH usernames so we can add each other to our Friend lists? :p
Mine is KanuTGL (now you didn't see that coming at all xD).
Mine is tarar1990. ;) I was going to have TaraLioness but there was a bit of an error with my account as mentioned here before.
But yeah, it's not King Simba, so it's not so obvious. :lol:
Mine's Nuduli, but no one will find me because my internet got cut off yesterday. X.x I'm using my phone to be online now.
Kovu, all that is correct. I have Windows 2000 but I'm not sure how to look for my graphics card or even know if I'm using Direct 3D or OpenGL.
Hey Kovu, what do you think of making things like actual gameplay part of customizing a map?
The default maps would have the generic behavior that you code, but perhaps other maps could use some sort of markup language to give it different gameplay.
Stat tracking and stuff could be encrypted on the client computers for player made maps, while the main uses a secure server database instead.
This would allow many different worlds with different game play and their own stats without placing a burden on the main server.
Obviously the markup language should have limited capability to prevent it from being a security risk to the clients or servers, but shouldn't be too limited.
Utora is my username..surprise surprise.
@Kovu: Hey, thanks for the waterfall tip, things are a lot easier now to get :D
Oh that's awesome, KS! :wow: finally we'll be able to see each other there :love:Quote:

For graphics card, try Start -> Run (or windows key + R on the keyboard), and type msinfo32Quote:

The name of your graphics card should appear under "Name".
For OpenGL/Direct3D, inside FH, click Options, then the Video tab.
What you're running on should be highlighted under "Rendering System".
Much thanks for the help Nuduli :)
@Weylin: that sounds a great idea but you went too much into technical detail XD I'd be interested to know what kind of gameplay customizations you'd like to see. :D
@Leorgathar: Glad to be of help ;) So if you need some peace, quiet and privacy from the crowd, just export a map you made, make sure you have "Has Portal" checked, then give KS the exported files to put in her "exports" folder, then find the portal to your map in the Cape of Distant Worlds. You'll have the entire map to yourselves, no one can come in unless they have your exported files. :p
Oh sorry, I thought I was talking your language there :lol:
Well, for customizations, some way for creating and modifying variables for things.
If somebody wanted it to be realistic, they could declare variables for Thirst, Hunger, Health, Fat, etc.
Actions, stances, mouse or keyboard input, location, or the passage of time could change variables. ie. Running would make Thirst raise faster. Sitting or laying would make it easier to conserve energy.
Also, someone might want to have a way to gain stats like Strength, Agility, etc.
I could've sworn I saw KS with a post saying that she got an Ogre Exception: can't create settings file, but now I can't find it anywhere :confused:
But anyway that error means windows 7 isn't letting FH create files in the directory you've installed it, you've to either run the game as administrator or give the game access rights to write files.
@Weylin: that sounds a tad too dynamic for a game XD it can be done, but I'll come to wonder how many players can actually use scripting to write decent gameplay. As of now the tools provided in FH have already confused enough players :p a dynamic user created gameplay system in a large virtual world certainly sounds a good idea though, but maybe not on FH. Still thanks for the input :)
I re-installed the previous version of FH, and that resolved the error, so I didn't feel the need for my post to be there anymore. ;) But I'll need to install the update at some point, right? If so, I'm a little lost on what you just said.
Thanks a lot for the info anyway. :)
As for now, I have a little bit of a problem involving the character creator. All the colours and graphics show up fine on my netbook, but on my desktop it looks like this:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...ride/katai.jpg
I can't seem to change the pelt colour or the tail colour, and so Katai looks badly sunburnt. :p Are there any files missing that I need?
Oi, Katai does seem to have a bit of a burn there. :p Hopefully you can get the problem resolved.
Here's what I came up with for my fursona:

Not bad ;)
Well, configuring your own game mechanics certainly wont be for everyone. But as I've seen some awesome modelers and map makers, I figure there's a few people in the community who could come up with some pretty radical game systems.Quote:

Care would be necessary with anything doing loops or slow calculations.
Either way, most players wouldn't need to even worry about it, if they didn't make their own settings, it would just use the default settings.
Yes, you do. :pQuote:

So to get around that you'll have to run the program as Administrator, by:
-inside your FeralHeart folder, right click FeralHeart.exe
-click "Run as Administrator"
I got this off some help website so i'm not sure if it works, but basically you've to give the program Administrator rights, which i don't know how it's done on anything more than Windows XP.
Apparently i'm reading that Windows Vista and 7 are encouraging programs to write files into the local "Temp" folder or "Application Data" folder, which are pretty hidden deep in the system. That didn't sound like a good idea to me 'cause FH is gonna output files when you export maps and such, and users are gonna need to be able to find them. I might have to think about this.
As for the graphics problem, i see more issues in the picture than just Katai being sunburnt XD
The sky is missing, and the water is white. Both are not supposed to happen.
My guess would be that your desktop's graphics card doesn't support shaders, so FH is running on backup methods which somehow aren't working for you either.
You might be encountering a similar problem as Nuduli.
To find out what's wrong with that i'll need your help, and plenty of time, so this process might take awhile. :zzz:
Meanwhile you might want to consider using Presets for Katai, and export your preset to send to Leor so that he can see it too.
*hopes I did this right*Quote:

I think I've got the red fluffy mane problem fixed, it'll go up in the next patch. :D
Thanks for the help Nuduli! :)
@KS: I'm not sure if I got your graphics problems fixed, you could give the next patch a try, but that'll mean you've to try to run the game as administrator for it to work. If that can't be done then I might have to start saving files in the proper Windows directories.
You'll know when the next patch is up 'cause the game will give you a notice. :p

I like the features of the game thus far and am not having any issues with it, I think this may be because I have an i7 quad core with some ati mobility radeon hd graphics card...but my laptop still gets rather toasty with your game Kovu.
:lol:
Looking good Utora :D
Yeah my game toasts my own laptop too XD
I'm hoping it's not something I've done wrong.
Have you guys tried making a map yet? I can't tell if the one in the first pic is Ficho Tunnel or is one done by Leor. :p
Im gonna try making a Lea map now but I dunno what theme it should have... campfire by the beach? :relax:
ficho tunnel in that one photo..I've tried a few of my maps but was not proud of them enough to get others to join in :lol:Quote:

Just unzip the two files and put them in your "exports" folder in your FeralHeart directory.
You should find a portal to the Lea map in the Cape of Distant Worlds. :)
This was done quickly at work cause I was hungry and haven't had dinner LOL
I think it'll look good when it's sunset. :D
Atlantis will come later. :p
I'll have to wait until my internet returns, whenver that is, to get the next patch and the Lea map. I wanna play FH so badly!
And what (or where) is the Cape of Distant Worlds?
When you exit Ficho Tunnel and basically keep going straight, there's an island with a portal, you have to swim across and there should be rows of glowing stones in the river on your way there. On the island keep going straight and there will be the portal to Cape of Distant Worlds, and I figure once you're in there it will be up a ways along the path on the side or something.
Thanks Utora, I'll keep that in mind. :) I get sooo lost, I have no sense of direction in the game. @.@

Visited Lea Halalela, it looks like a great place to hang considering it's not flooded by the local people who have really no grasp on a decent conversation. :blah:
We need to schedule a global time for us LeaHalans to meet here!
Yay, Lea map! :D
The campfire seems to be out though; is there supposed to be a flame or something there? :p
Oh that's awesome, Kovu! :wow: I'll add it to my files immediately
Btw, I made my map work now, it still needs some more building up in some sections, but perhaps I'll share it here when it's ready ;)
Yes there is, i've realised the fire is missing. :ohno:Quote:

I'll fix that in awhile, meanwhile we'll have a fireless campfire. :p
These graphics remind of a 3D version of early Myst :)
Oooookay I seem to be having a bit of a problem :confused:
I installed the two files in the exports folder, and since I realized I had named my map LeaHalalela too, I decided to change its name, and I mean I deleted everything and replaced it with files with the new name, and it works well in the map maker. But when I went to Cape of Distant Worlds, the game crashed on me, and now everytime I log in it crashes again.
Does this problem have to do with the portal to my old map still being in Cape of Distant Worlds? :\
