(SOLVED) Unable to view preset body in preset maker

[Kitterr]

So, I got some preset textures from a friend in a group, and I'm using them to make myself a preset. I made the body, exported it out of gimp, and opened feral heart to view the preset. Body didn't show up. "Huh, that must be weird. Did I name it wrong or put it in the wrong slot?" Nope. Correct slot, correct name. Next, I remembered that the preset texture for the body was 1024x1024. So I scaled it down to regular size. No luck. What could be happening that is not allowing me to view the body?

You should maybe check out in the code and maybe renaming it could work.
properties:
512x512
png or jpg (need to be coded in the material file aswell)
this thread can also help ya

in case you maybe used any special code, make sure it is all right and take a peek at the tutorial for it.

It is 512x512, I used special code, not the culprit. All my preset images are PNGs. Always. Everything is coded correctly, as said in thread, file name, type, and size matches. I did have to scale down the image though, since it was 1024x1024, as stated.

Hmm, did you try renaming it? it could help.

No luck.
EDIT: I had used the gradient tool in gimp, thought that may have been the culprit, but nope. no luck.
EDIT 2: I also set the body image to a COMPLETELY RANDOM image. No luck. I'll try maybe getting rid of the code used, since anyways I don't think I'll use the code, it's just something I put in there for fun..
EDIT 3: Nope. Didn't work. Body is still showing as black & yellow.

Could you possibly paste the code for me?
Definitely sounds like a coding problem.

[Kitterr]

The code? Sure, let me grab that..

Code: [Select]

material preset_4_bodyMatL
{
technique
{
pass
{
texture_unit
{
texture genebody.png
}
}
}
}
material preset_4_bodyMatR
{
technique
{
pass
{
texture_unit
{
texture genebody.png
}
}
}
}
material preset_4_headMatL
{
technique
{
pass
{
texture_unit
{
texture genehead.png
}
}
}
}
material preset_4_headMatR
{
technique
{
pass
{
texture_unit
{
texture genehead.png
}
}
}
}
material preset_4_eyeMatL
{

{

cull_software none

}
material preset_4_eyeMatR

texture_unit

{
pass
{

cull_hardware none
cull_software none
scene_blend alpha_blend

texture_unit
{

}
}
}
}There it is. If there's anything wrong, please tell me or give me a fixed version. <3

So half of me thinks that this is connected to the name of the preset. Just to test, I'd recommend changing the code/image back to preset_4body.png and see if that fixes it.

If you don't mind my asking, you said that you have used special code ~ is that only to change the images to .png or do you have a glow added? I know with glow you have to make the glow image first to get the body image to show up. c:

[Kitterr]

Nah, it was just an inside texture code thingy. Don't use glow stuff. Also, no luck with changing the filename.

[SpicyDirt]

Ohhh texture inside of the preset? If so, the coding should look something like this:
