Solved, delete please~

[ZombieKitteh]

Oh, in advance I'd love any help at all. Or even a free bump. :3 Please don't PM me though.. for some reason I'm glitched and don't get them x: If really need be, for help with the object material coding or file, I'm willing t opay in DA points or art.

Would any one be able to point me in the direction of a place where  I can find information on making objects transparent? I've figured out how to make the materials transparent, but when my character goes into said item, they disappear.. x: Trying to have it like a science-fiction type container thing o3o' so yes I'd like to be able to see my character and the canine/feline models I plan on putting inside as experiments o.o'
-----------------

Original problems with my preset have been fixed. Thankyou so much for everyon who helped me out. Karma has been given. If you'd be interested in a free art commission for thanks don't hesitate to ask. :3 My deviantart is listed as my webpage on my profile.


Edit:
TUrns out all isn't fixed.. I can see my preset fine and it exports, but when I upload it for others to download, they don't see it. D:

That's a lovely preset. Also, the reason you aren't getting PM's is because a lot of people have the name Zombie, so it gets sent to the wrong one.

Anywho, this is just a coding issue, simple fix. Erase all the coding in the material, and replace it with this one: (You may want to keep a backup of your original coding, in case this somehow doesn't work.)

Thankyou It's my first.. so I'm pretty self-concious about it xD

Yay that coding fixed the eye and head/body blending problem perfectly thankyou so much :3

The mane is the only issue now, it still looks the same as in the screenshot in my first post.

I wanted to export it to test out the glowing effect and it's saying "failed to export" D: Why? Did I do something wrong? :c

[Hamilton]

Manes need to have a certain amount of transparency to them to make them the nice fuzzy look like they have in custom mode. Opening the manemask texture has a nice enough layout for how the transparency should look.

Something such as this. See how the bottom has that toothy area of nothingness?

[ZombieKitteh]

Oh I see, so I should make mine look spikey at the end like that? o:

It's also saying failed to export, I wanted to test out how the glow works in game. Did I do something wrong maybe? :c


Edit:
Mane problem is now fixed, thanks so much :3

Still wont export though.. :c I worked so hard on this, it'll be so fail if I can't use it D: Honest dudes, if you help me figure this out, in the end when/if I get it to work, I'll pay you in DA points if you like :c *desperate* Not alot, because I'm savig for premium, but maybe 1-3?

Does your username have spaces or weird symbols in it?

[ZombieKitteh]

Nope :c just ZombieKitteh

Edit:

Changing all the images and coding to .png or .jpg does not work. It still fails :x

[ZombieKitteh]

*hums and twiddles thumbs* Maybe it's a coding problem? I tried using the coding to work on another preset and it failed as well :c

Then again I tried using/testing it with another fail, quick test preset without the glow and it exported fine. I tried getting rid of the glowing markings on the first preset to see if may it was those, and it still failed. Is it a image problem or a coding error? :x I check and all the images are the same size.

I worked really hard on this, I truthfully don't want to have to re-do it D:

Edit: Herp- should've just edited my old post with this new info. Sorry D:

[Ruby1234]

It's not a coding issue or image issue...
when you click export and the yellow bar goes across, what does it stop on when it fails?
