Title: Preset Help
Post by: SoulRevenge on May 23, 2012, 11:00:27 pm

Okay, I was wondering how you can make a Preset's left side different from it's right side, head and body, and, maybe possibly tail~. Like, lets say I created a preset with one red side, and one blue side, is there a code of some sort? And would I need another 'png' or, lets say 'preset_8body' to make them different?
(Sorry if this isn't exactly clear~ >_< I'm no good at explaining things)

Use this link, it gives you all the files you need. In there there are templates for Left and Right sides. Just make one side different from the other.

just open the preset_x.material file with notepad and you will find something like this:

material preset_1_bodyMatL
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_1body.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_1_bodyMatR
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_1body.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}


you create 2 image files, one for left side and right. Then modify your script file to match the name of your image textures:

for example if you have these files:
preset_1bodyleft.jpg
preset_1bodyright.jpg

then you do something like this:

material preset_1_bodyMatL
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_1bodyleft.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_1_bodyMatR
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_1bodyright.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}
