Common preset issues and tutorial of how to solve them.
« on: June 14, 2020, 09:28:52 pm »
Hello and welcome to this tutorial!
Explanation of why and differences of this with other :3
I have noticed many peeps got some problems with the presets and a thread containing possible problems could help them solve theirs. This thread has the purpose to help anyone having basic or common problems with their preset and easily find the solution here.
Let's start!
List of common issues
-White or black and yellow parts.
-Preset slot dissapearing in-game when trying to export it.
-Failing to export.
White or black and yellow parts.
This one is a pretty easy to solve depending on the matter c:
Possible issues
-It is probably that the file is non existent.
-The name of the file is wrong.
-The properties of the file are wrong.
-There is a special code you want to use but didn't put properly.
-Something's wrong with the slot.
Solutions.
1-This one says it all. The file doesn't exists, you need to make one c:
2-If the name of the file is wrong you just need to change it OR it could be wrong inside the coding. Check it carefully and you will notice.
3-Alrighty, this one is easy aswell. The properties needed to make the file avaible are.
~Use programs that support transparency. The file can be .jpg or .png. In the only file that requires transparency is the mane wich needs to look like this.

~Size needs to be 512 x 512 for every file.
4-Depending on the code, you posibly have put it wrong and need to look at the tutorial again.
5. Move your files to another slot (don't forget to edit the files to adjust to the new slot).

Preset slot dissapearing in-game when trying to export it.
You deleted or changed something important inside of the coding wich made it to delete itself in-game. Check what lacks in it and you will notice.[/color]

Failing to export.
Anything from above could be causing it to refuse exporting but it also can be that you want to update it right? you just need to delete the .fhp of the slot you are wanting to update. For example.
You want to update a preset from the slot 3.
You go to your FeralHeart -> presets folder and delete the .fhp that you used for that slot.[/color]

Animated presets issues.

List of common issues
-Animation not acting.
-White or black and yellow parts.

Possible issues
1. You forgot to add the speed or you added an unavaible speed.
2.The code is written wrong.

Solutions.
1. The code should look like this.
Code: [Select]
material preset_#_bodyMatR
{
technique
{
pass
{
texture_unit
{
anim_texture movingpart1.png movingpart2.png movingpart3.png 1
}
}
}
}
Infront of anim_texture you will be adding the name of the animation files and when you finish putting all of them you make a little space and put a positive number. If you put a negative number or 0, you animation won't work.
Side note: movingpart# is the name of your animation file, it doesn't has to be named like that and the ending 1 is the speed.
2. You may want to re-check your code, something may be wrong.
Good luck with your preset my good friend!
(If I have missed something important, you can post it down and will be added in.)
