So there's the mane fix code, and there's the fact that you have to use the fmanemask file and lock the alpha channel and color it in one layer and save that as a png, but for a scrolling texture, how does this work? The only reason I didn't do that is because the last time I tried to do a scrolling texture with a 'normal' mane (the way you make a non-fluffy mane for every other kind of preset), it scrolled the transparent parts as well, and it looked weird. It might be kinda hard to get what I'm saying since I might be doing a bad job wording this, so here's some pics.
The parts where this is transparent did this weird thing b/c they scrolled with the part that's black (or in other cases, a color besides black).

When I used this for a preset I'm working on (its mane is supposed to scroll this texture),
the scrolling code and the picture work perfectly fine, except for these weird square things that aren't supposed to be there.
Oml I just realized what my mistake was!! When I got the scrolling codes to work earlier, I made a backup copy of the material file in case the other codes I was doing messed it up somehow, and I think having two of the text files in there (I assumed the 'preset_10 - Copy' would be counted as a different file but I guess not. Ohhh my gawd that explains it x'D Cause just before I was about to put the code in here and post it, I was like wait a minute... -deletes extra material file- -issue solved-
Ok, I'll try to make it a lot more translucent then (when it was opaque, and when it was 60% opaque, it didn't appear to change, so maybe it needs to be changed more). Also, does what I name the picture matter? (case-sensitive, etc. I know it's supposed to be png so that's not the issue).
And idk if this is even possible but the scrolling texture is supposed to be semi-transparent, so it's almost like a ghost with scrolling effects. But I think it would also be nice to learn how to do a semi-transparent texture with a scrolling one underneath.
So I got the scrolling codes to work just fine. I know it's possible to 'layer' codes, since I've seen the scroll-and-glow one, but I tried to do a similar thing with scroll-and-translucent and it didn't work. I'm fairly new to coding, so I probably did it wrong lmao, but could someone please tell me the right way to do it? Thanks.
Since this might help, I only want certain parts of the preset to scroll and be translucent. I made only the mane and tail scroll, and that worked totally fine. I assume I can do the same with every other preset 'special effect' code, including translucency.
If whoever answers this needs the preset code, I'll edit this post and add it.
