Looks like you made a mistake while editing. I'll send a fixed version. c:

[hugrf2]

Thanks! i'm gonna wait for the PM.

Ohhooohooho. c: This'll be helpful to those seeking to make a dynamic preset. Sure, there are many other threads for this, but you provided animated previews, which makes it stand out.

This is so awesome, you explained a lot of things, and that really helped.

[hugrf2]

When ya gonna PM me the fixed version?

[hugrf2]

By the way i tried the scroll code again then the ENTIRE file didn't even work in-game! and I'm pretty sure i did it right.

[Ruby1234]

I already sent it.

Alright...
As I was going to say in the PM,
a lot of stuff ended up way different than the original code, which can't happen.
A lot of your lines read as:
preset__bodyMatL
which isn't even one of the mats.
So I believe something went wrong with your replacing.
Nevertheless, here's a fix.

Code: [Select]

material preset_4_bodyMatL

}
