Title: Presets?
Post by: liontamer1 on January 01, 2013, 06:57:06 pm
-Sigh- More trouble. Okay, so I Had a preset in the preset 4 folder. I deleted the files because I downloaded another preset that would only go into the preset 4 folder. I opened up the preset maker, went to export the new preset, and still found the old one. What should I do?!  :-\

Well first did you delte the preset.material file and replace it with the new one? If all those .jpg preset files are gone... then did you replace the material?

I did not delete the .material, only replaced it with the new one. Should I delete all things in the preset 4 folder and replace them again with the new preset?

Yeah, you should probably do that. But when you downlaoded the preset, did you get it as Preset_4 or just as all the files like jpg and the material file? If you got it as the Preset_4 folder, then just copy the preset_4 folder, and replace it with your oringinal.

No, it's still not working...

And I got it as a .zip file, opened it up and there were a ton of files inside. I copied and pasted them in after I deleted the old preset files.

Try pasting those files into another preset folder. Then go inside the material file and do this:

(I picked 5, you caqn pick any number you want.)

Click edit, replace. Find what: preset_4 Replace with: preset_5 (The preset number you chose.) and click replace all. (Sorry this picture looks horrible. xD

I-I'm sorry, I don't know what you did there...More details please? -Sniffle-

EDIT- I tried editing the .material file, but an error message occurred.

Okay, go to a preset folder where you have not made any of your custom presets. Then, paste all of your downloaded pres3et files inside of there. Then, go into the new preset material file, open it with NotePad. On the top left you should see File Edit Format View Help. Click Edit. A drop down box should appear, you should see Replace on the drop down box, click it. Another box should appear that says Replace on the top left corner of it. There should be a Find what: and a box where you can type something in. Type in in that box next to Find what: preset_4.

Now, below it, should be a Replace with: and a box to type in. In the box to type in, put in preset_5 (Or the preset number you put the files in, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 1, 2, 3, 12...) Then click on Replace all. And then, click on File, Save. Now you can test that in the game. But not as Preset_4, test it as whatever preset number you chose. Got it?

How about this. Send me the preset you are trying to get to work and tell me what Preset folder you have that is empty and I will rename all of it for you (the way Rapid was explaining above) so that all you have to do is just paste the files into that empty folder.

Okay. An empty folder I have is....#4.

And I DID download to use. I made sure of that! XD

Oh so I don't even have to do anything to the files. The download is already set to preset folder 4 so all you have to do is delete the preset 4 folder in your "my presets" section and just paste this download's folder there instead and it should work fine.

Post by: liontamer1 on January 01, 2013, 07:53:50 pm
I tried, but the problem is that I deleted my old preset from preset 4, and when I pasted in the new one it still came up as the old one.
Title: Re: Presets?
Post by: LordSuragaha on January 01, 2013, 07:55:40 pm
Close the game and reopen the game and go back into the preset maker and reexport the new preset 4 of the download. Then it should appear.
Title: Re: Presets?
Post by: liontamer1 on January 01, 2013, 08:00:50 pm
I tried. It still came up as the old preset.

You must not be doing something wrong. I've had this problem before and it always works.
Title: Re: Presets?
Post by: liontamer1 on January 01, 2013, 08:10:01 pm
Nope. e3e When I export it it says, "Failed to export preset." But when I go to my character who wore the old preset, it's gone.
Title: Re: Presets?
Post by: LordSuragaha on January 01, 2013, 08:11:46 pm
ok so we at least got rid of the old preset. Try closing the game and opening it again and reexporting from the preset maker.
Title: Re: Presets?
Post by: liontamer1 on January 01, 2013, 08:14:49 pm
I did. I tried at least 3 times. How do I take screenshots out of the game? So I can show you what I am doing.
Title: Re: Presets?
Post by: LordSuragaha on January 01, 2013, 08:20:01 pm
You press the "Prtsc sysrq" key on the top right to take screenshots. Then if you open a program like "paint" you can paste it there and save it to get the file. Then upload the file to any website like photobucket etc to get the image code to paste it here on the forum.
If you do that take a pic of the preset 4 folder & the preset 4 material file also.

..."Sysrq"  Come again?

Title: Re: Presets?
Post by: liontamer1 on January 01, 2013, 08:26:26 pm
Yes, yes. But where do I find them? There aren't in the Fh screenshot folder. BTW my keyboard only has "Print Screen," So I was utterly lost.
Title: Re: Presets?
Post by: LordSuragaha on January 01, 2013, 08:32:03 pm
Open a program like "paint" and click paste so whatever you "PrintScreened" will appear then save it to get the file in your pictures album of your computer. From there you then upload the file or files to any website like photobucket etc to get the image code to paste it here on the forum so that I can see it.
You repeat the process as often as you need to to get the screenshots. The "screenshot" album is strictly for when you press "print screen" in game. It takes pictures of anything in game but if you have to screenshot some file like your material file thats not in game you use the method I mentioned above.

Here is my preset 4 folder.
Title: Re: Presets?
Post by: LordSuragaha on January 01, 2013, 08:40:32 pm
Everything looks fine in the folder and I used to have this preset you're trying to use and it worked fine for me. I really don't know why you're having trouble... hmm. Screenshot what happens when you try to export it. I need to understand what's going wrong here...
Title: Re: Presets?
Post by: liontamer1 on January 01, 2013, 08:43:53 pm
This;

(http://i45BannedImageSite/29qbmo2.png)      <-------- It isn't even the right preset. It's still the old one.
Title: Re: Presets?
Post by: LordSuragaha on January 01, 2013, 08:53:31 pm
And you left the material file the same way it came in the download right? You haven't messed up the coding in anyway?
Title: Re: Presets?
Post by: liontamer1 on January 01, 2013, 08:54:48 pm
No...Or at least I think not...
Title: Re: Presets?
Post by: LordSuragaha on January 01, 2013, 08:57:19 pm
I don't really know what to suggest anymore. If it was happening to me I would be doing the same thing Rapid suggested earlier which is to just rename the files from preset 4 to whatever other empty preset folder you have and replace them there because I just don't understand what's happening to your preset 4 exports. I looked at the material file of the download and it worked perfectly fine for me in my preset 4 folder without having to edit it or anything.
Title: Re: Presets?
Post by: liontamer1 on January 01, 2013, 08:58:39 pm
Blarg, it's alright. Thanks for your help! I kinda hate this preset right now, so. I just hope I didn't damage anything or we will go through this again! XD
