Title: How to become not-marshmallow
Post by: Miraja on February 27, 2014, 08:53:58 pm

So there are some players who use presets, but if someone didn't download their presets he doesn't see "marshmallow" or default canine/feline. He see a char using markings available for everyone. And how to make this thing? How to use a preset, but let others see me with normal markings at the same time?

                        Did he actually say that everyone can see his preset?
                       Honestly, I don't think it's possible unless he asked people to download his preset.
                           I'm not exactly sure but I hope I gave you some clues... I'm sure other members will tell you exactly why.

You cannot see someone's preset unless they are using the preset sync and/or downloaded the presets .fph file.

If I understand what you mean, markings work differently from presets, hence the marshmallow appearance.
Presets work differently.

Let's say you download a preset made by someone else. You install it, and go in-game to character creator.
You design you character WITHOUT the preset. Right when you put the preset on, that original design is saved underneath the preset so people withotit the sync or download see that.

The "marshmallow effect" of so say is something that you only really get when a user use markings another user do not have. People using big marking packs for example will show up as marshmallows for others on whatever part of the body they applied this to.

However as explained above already, preset works like a skin above the regular preset less character, if other users do not have a certain preset downloaded either manually or by using preset sync, they will see the character just like nothing special with regular markings from the game if the character was made this way. If they would have another users preset downloaded however, it will just apply on top of the characters design made from the character creator.

So really, you just need to have a character made with markings and colors from within the game, and apply a preset on top of it. Everyone with your preset downloaded will see it with this, and everyone who doesn't will see you with the regular markings, no specific effort required on your part as long as you stay away from custom markings.
