More preset problems...

[MementoMors]

I'm making a preset with transparent eyelids, but the left eyelid is still visible.



The code for both eyes looks exactly the same to me, so I'm not sure what's wrong.

Try renaming one of the files / saving it as a different eye file name and see if it does the same thing. Sometimes closing and then opening up the game does the trick because it could be a little glitch.

[MementoMors]

I'm not sure what you mean. I made copies of the eye files and renamed them, then changed the code to match. The eyes ended up with the black and yellow missing texture. Also, resetting the game doesn't help.

When I said to rename at least one of the eye file ( in your preset / material file ) just add like a number at the end. But once you do that, you need to make sure they everything matches, including the file name ( picture ) for the preset as well. Changing just the material file won't work. The black & white usually means there was an error in the coding. So make sure that everything is matching correctly.
Do you have pictures that you can show that's in your preset folder for a visual?

[MementoMors]

Okay. I added a one to the eye image, in the code and in the folder, but it didn't help so I changed it back.

These are the images in my folder right now:



The code is the same as it was when i first posted it.

Try copying the coding onto a blank notepad and name it the exact same thing as the original material and see if that helps. ( Make sure you don't have both material files in the same folder and see if that does anything.

[MementoMors]

That didn't help either.

[Hakumi]

That didn't help either.

My other option would to see if it does the same thing in another preset folder..
Also, try keeping the 'preset_10body.png.' etc just in case that's causing it despite it working so far currently. I've rarely changed that part in my material folder. I try to name everything similar. As I said, make sure everything is matching to a 'T.'

[MementoMors]

Alright, I moved everything to a different folder and changed the code. I also renamed everything to be 'preset_9' instead of 'squid'.
So now, the images are like this:

Hm... then I'm stumped. Usually when something like that happens, I just change it out or maybe even change renders.. Sometimes the problem goes away after I export it. Sorry I wasn't much help, I'm probably overlooking something minor ...
Good Luck on finding a solution though o;
