Went through my PMs right quick, since I knew I had sent one on masking before.
This may help you @EscapeReality, and maybe even @HidenShadow.
Here I illustrated the difference between using your actual texture and making it double as the mask, versus black/white masking, which usually leaves edges. (I promise I'm not trying to overwhelm you aaa)
Hullo, hullo!
No worries, a scrolling mane is possible without looking all gross!
All you need to do is split your scrolling texture into two separate textures, one will serve as a mask, the other as the actual scrolling source.
Copy your scrolling texture and cut it out according to fmanemask, found in:
FeralHeart > media > textures
Save the new cutout version as whatever you want, I just use preset_#manemask.png
Use this code:
material preset_1_maneMat
{
technique
{
pass
{
cull_hardware none
cull_software none
alpha_rejection greater_equal 200
texture_unit
{
texture preset_1manemask.png
}
texture_unit
{
texture preset_1manemask.png
colour_op alpha_blend
}
texture_unit
{
texture preset_1scroll.png
scroll_anim 1.0 1.0
colour_op_ex blend_current_alpha src_texture src_current
}
}
}
}
Make sure you use the first two texture spots for the MASK, then only the last one is for the original scrolly texture.
Boom.
Done. c:
((ignore the fact that that is someone else's preset who also needed help. shhh.))
So you can see on the last .gif, the mane is using this method, and the head is using white masking.
Hope that also gives some insight. ;n;
