Im amusing your using Gimp, right? So what you need to put is Preset_4body.png (or put head..If your doing head)
Hope this help.

Try doing jpg again.
Reminder and example: Peset_4head.jpg

Fyi, after you do that, go to 'File' and it would say 'Export' click it. Then save it. (Sorry if this is confusing)

Hm..Sorry i meant..click on 'Export to' >.< Oops..sorry.. And hmm I saw a video guide about how to make a preset, and it say to put jpg but it seems it doesn't work either..Ahh...

EDIT: Wait you say you cant change it? Simple. Just click 'Save' on the same file, and it would let you rename it.

Go to tools, when you open the main feralheart program, and go to preset maker. Click export. Then put I ton a character in game.

When you have your preset ready to export you put everything in the "my_presets" and put your files in the number file you used to codes for..such as

Present_head3R=put in preset 3

After all that, you log into Feral heart now and go to
Tools>Preset
Once there select your preset, and click the export button and it should be ready for game.
NOTE:if you want others to see your preset too, then you are going to have to save a copy of your preset to mediafire, and give that link to anyone who wants to see your preset.

its not the part in seeing it on game its just what do i save it as and if i flatten or merge the image, i had saved it as jpg and png and tried it but neither showed up in-game, i had them saved right, as Preset_4head.jpg or Preset_4head.png and put it in the number 4 folder however loading them in game wasnt working :I im brand new at this so i dont know a lot about it or what problems could arouse but ive been watching lots of tutorials .-. anyways im not sure whats going on so i just saved it for now.

 I'm not sure what you mean by "Flatten" but I do know is that if you save them as a png, the images won't work unless you have a coding such as transparent to go with it. Usually regular jpgs are what really makes a preset show. If you want, you can try to send me the preset files, and I can try to fix it for you if I can. If you want me to do this, you need to compress the files in a zip folder and send it to me in mediafire if you want me to try to fix it for ya.
OR... It could just be something wrong with the coding? Like did you arrange the coding differently?

nah i havent touched the coding, i looked at it though, and it said: texture Preset_4head.jpg i'll see what else i can do ive tried everything i know of to fix it. all i got done is the head so far xD but sure, i'll send it to you im not sure what else i can possible do, i use gimp to make presets and markings.

What kind or preset are you making? Is it just regular standard? Or like transparent, moving texture..cause if not, then everything should work with jpg. If you still having trouble, send it to me and I'll see if I can try to fix it

its just a normal regular preset C: but im probably going to re-do it because i didnt do my dragons markings right xD if it works the next time then we can disregard this post d: if not i'll send it to you and see if you can do anything about it .-.
