Preset issues

[flandesuyo1]

I'm in the process of making my preset and I'm having a little bit of trouble. I have everything set out alright for his hair, but when i test it out on the game, its like this oddly inverted kinda thing. Is there a way to fix it? I'm trying my hardest to get these darn images to show up (tinypic says the image or vid has been moved or deleted..) but it just looks very awkward.

Tinypic is not usuable on the forums as it was banned from the site for multiple reasons.

I would recommend using Imgur.

Another thing to think about is that when you post a new thread. Try to explain what the problem is about in the Subject, not only something like "It's not working" or "Help". This way it will make it both easier for you, and the ones that try to help you to achieve better results in less time. :3

Could you provide some more information? I can see that you are having a problem with your preset being messed up, but without seeing its' code or files it is really hard to say for sure what happened.

Code: [Select]

use [code]stuff for the preset material code.
Tinypic was banned, I suggest using the site Morgra provided.

That's weird.  But manes that are see through on the outside and you see them from the inside are a common problem.  Sometimes you have to use the "scene-blend alpha-blend" code.

problem is i'm literally greeted with satanic text when i try to open up the mane's code in notepad.

Place this in the preset_#.material file where the mane part is and change the # to your preset number:

Code: [Select]

material preset_#_maneMat
{
technique
{
pass
{
cull_hardware none
cull_software none
scene_blend alpha_blend
texture_unit
{
texture preset_#mane.png
}
}
}
}
The .material file for your preset is located in the preset folder you are using.

PS: Not the code for the hair... I meant the code for the preset.

fixed the code and now it just wont show color. now it's just the default white or black/yellow.

Also make sure the file extension matches, if the code says .png but the image used was .jpg then it will show up as baseWhite since the game can't find it.

Here's the code Shurtle has for his preset, although I've changed the preset number to a '#' so you can change it to your preset number.

Code: [Select]

material preset_#_bodyMatL
{
technique
{
pass
{
texture_unit
{
texture preset_#body.jpg
}
}
}
}
material preset_#_bodyMatR
{
technique
{
pass
{
texture_unit
{
texture preset_#body.jpg
}
}
}
}
material preset_#_headMatL
{
technique
{
pass
{
alpha_rejection greater_equal 128
texture_unit
{
texture preset_#head.png
}
}
}
}
material preset_#_headMatR
{
technique
{
pass
{
alpha_rejection greater_equal 128
texture_unit
{
texture preset_#head.png
}
}
}
}
material preset_#_eyeMatL
{
technique
{
pass
{
cull_hardware none
cull_software none
texture_unit
{
texture preset_#eyel.jpg
}
}
}
}
material preset_#_eyeMatR
{
technique
{
pass
{
cull_hardware none
cull_software none
texture_unit
{
texture preset_#eyer.jpg
}
}
}
}
material preset_#_tailMat
{
technique
{
pass
{
texture_unit
{
texture preset_#tail.jpg
}
}
}
}
    material preset_#_maneMat
    {
            technique
            {
                    pass
                    {
                            cull_hardware none
                            cull_software none
                            alpha_rejection greater_equal 128
                            texture_unit
                            {
                                    texture preset_#mane.png
                            }
                    }
            }
    }
NOTE: Please take note that the body/head/tail/eye images are .jpg image files, and the mane image is a .png file, so I'd try that and use this code to fix the problem you're having with the introverted mane appearance. Let me know by bumping this thread if you're still experiencing the same problem, and I'll look through other codes to help you.
