Animated Preset?

[Crocodile]

So, I'm trying to do an animated preset. Just a simple one, with the tail's color switching from black to white.

I got the code here: http://happyshadow.deviantart.com/art/Feral-Heart-Preset-Script-Tuto-199736102

This is what my code looks like:

material preset_2_bodyMatL
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_2body.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_2_bodyMatR
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_2body.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_2_headMatL
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_2head.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_2_headMatR
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_2head.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_2_eyeMatL
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         cull_hardware none
         cull_software none
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_2eye.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_2_eyeMatR
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         cull_hardware none
         cull_software none
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_2eye.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_2_tailMat
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         texture_unit
         {
            animtexture preset_2tail1.jpg preset_2tail2 .jpg 1
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_2_maneMat
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         lighting off
         cull_hardware none
         cull_software none
         scene_blend alpha_blend
         depth_write off
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_2mane.png
         }
      }
   }
}


The two tail files are named:

preset_2tail1.jpg

preset_2tail2.jpg

I've switched them to black.jpg and white.jpg, but that didn't work. The tail just shows up as that blurry yellow and black that appears as the fur when you don't have any data for that body area.

if anyone could help me it be GREATLY appreciated.

[Crocodile]

I'm on a mac, by the way.

[Crocodile]

And I'm also only in Preset maker. i haven't exported it.

[Lawcere]

Is there a space between preset_2tail2 and .jpg?

I'm not sure why it wouldn't work, but try the coding in this one http://feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=5665.0

[Crocodile]

I don't really get what is supposed to be entered. Like, where to put preset_2tail1.jpg and preset_2tail2.jpg?

There was a space, but when I fixed it nothing happened. Same effect.

[Crocodile]

So, I inserted the file names where I thought they should go, but the tail's just white now. Here's the code I had in the material:

         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_2_bodyMatR
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_2body.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_2_headMatL
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_2head.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_2_headMatR
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_2head.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_2_eyeMatL

   {
      pass
      {
         cull_hardware none
         cull_software none

You have it under eyeMat, not tail.

Try this.

Supposedly fixed, but there's the yellow and black again.

Hey, use the code I gave you above.
