It appears it's everyone's cats are affected :/ Since I only really play felines for the most part, I could see it on every feline character I had. I'm sure this is an easy fix, but I don't know what to do. It's just really strange.
Gotta download new feline textures if you don't like the ones you have now. 
That sounds good! I have no idea what happened, but I'd like to turn it back to the FH default fur texture. Do you guys know where I should put the files when I get them? I'm sure I can find the textures somewhere on the forums.

I'm sure this is an easy fix, but I don't know what to do. It's just really strange.It looks like the fur texture itself is dark. Ye 'aven't downloaded anything f'er FH? Perhaps a group map pack came with some optional texture files? If ye'd like, send me over the textures and I'll lighten them f'er ye?
No, I haven't downloaded anything for FH in a while. I think maybe something happened to the default FH fur texture for felines? I'm not sure which folder to look in for that, or if I need to pick through any codes.

I got a surprise when I went to choose what character I wanted to play today! All of my characters have fur that is way too dark and noticeable! I didn't tamper with any files at all, so I have no idea what happened!
Check this out: 
You see her inner ears and her toes? Her whole body used to be that lighter pink colour. But this happened to all of my characters, except for my preset. What do I do? >_<

Thank you so very much <3 I'm going to try this out! Fingers crossed I get it right! With all of the help you guys gave me, I should do great!

Yes each flame layer was slightly different and had little lines removed near the edges to give a dynamic living flame look. The one that appears as the static flames like Razmirz said would be a good mask that doesn't scroll. i think the flames1.png was acting as the mask so if you wanted to keep the flames at the feet & eyes that's where you'd put your masks without scrolling. The other layers except for the presetbody would scroll.
i could be wrong though. Maybe i'll experiment & see how it goes.
Edit: OK my experiment shows it was flames1 appears to be the mask this time so that'd be the one to use the flame thing Razmirz showed, but you can simplify it down to a silhouette and have the flames on top as the actual texture.
Again, thank you!
So let me get this straight...so you have preset_7body.png acting as your body base. That's your fur. To have fire on your feet, you would simply erase the parts on preset_7body.png where you want the flames to show.
preset_7flame1.png is static. Just a picture. It doesn't scroll, and it appears on the feet. Am I assuming correctly that, just like glowing markings, this is a transparency with the picture of the flames set on the area of the feet?
preset_7flame2.png and preset_7flame3.png are both scrolling material. So, they are like the picture that Raz posted, slightly different from one another. These are the things that move scroll in those patches that were made on preset_7body.png.
Do I have this all correct?

i have done flames before. Had 2 layers of like, red and orange with a 3rd being red emissive that reflected yellow (gave the flames a nice effect) i can give you my coding for it if you like and you can rework it to suit yourself. But you might need to make a layer that acts as the mask to not scroll, this one should be jaggerd at the top of where you want the flames to end above the feet. Unfortunately i am not good enough at masks to figure out if it should be at the top layer or bottom. Works differently for some objects but i think on presets it's the last layer listed.
Thank you for your code Kuri! I noticed that you had 2 flame layers...did they look different from one another?
perhaps this is all really hard to grasp because I haven't done it before...I still need to figure out what I would need several layers for. What each one would do. I have a grasp of layers when making glowing markings! One layer is your base fur, the other is your glowing markings on top of it. Could you maybe tell me a little more about your multiple layers?
Again, thank you for taking the time out of your day to help me out! ^_^ I really appreciate it

Thank you Raz! I know much of the coding you mentioned, but some of the code is new to me. I have the scene_blend add in there, however, this preset's fur colour is also black. Perhaps this would be problematic?
Let's add some movement; fire rises and falls so our fire should do the same I recommend the "wave_xform" function specifically "wave_xform scale_y sine" what this will do stretch the texture up and down. The actual code for it would be something like
"wave_xform scale_y sine 1 0.2 0 2"
Where
1 is the minimum scale
0.2 is the transition speed
0 is starting position
2 is the maximum scale
I've never seen code for movement before! So I'm not sure where I should insert that into the .mat file. You DID mention several layers. I've done a preset before with glowing markings before, which required two layers. Could you give me the details as to what each layer's purpose would be? So let's say I have the fire picture that you sent me for scrolling as preset_5scroll.png. I remember that when I made glowing markings, I had to put those markings on a transparency, which I called preset_5glow.png, and then made that layer emissive. In code, how would I do that to the preset_5scroll file instead? Here is what the code looks like. It's probably got a few kinks. material preset_5_bodyMatL

Hey everyone! 
So, before I start working on a preset I thought about, I've been trying to do some planning. And I'm a little stumped on this one part. See, I want to make it so the feet look like they are on fire. Perhaps the eyes and inside of mouth. Also, the mane. That's the idea. I want the fire to move, too. So I'm thinking maybe scrolling is what I'm looking for? This is also going to be the first time I've ever done a scrolling preset, so I don't fully have a grasp of it yet. I have a vision for this preset! I just don't really know the best way of going about doing it. I have the coding! I'm perfectly okay there! However, most of the examples of the scroll.png files that I have seen use a gradient. Here is the example on Ruby1234's coding for beginners thread:
As you can see, the gradient is mostly linear, up and down. If I made this in fire colours, it wouldn't look very realistic, right? But what if I made it jagged? Maybe with more of the flame shape? Do you think that would work?So, here are my questions:- How would you personally go about making this? (Is scrolling the best option? What would you do if you wanted moving flames?)
- If you think scrolling could work, describe what you think the scroll.png file design should be? (I can try and recreate that.)
Any input would be appreciated! It will save me a lot of time from trial and error
