Title: Presets not showing in-game [fixed]
Post by: Faeplae on June 10, 2015, 04:06:42 am
Hello! So it seems I may be doing something wrong in regards to saving my presets? I was working on the head and wanted to see how it looked in-game so I saved the picture into the my_presets folder and into preset_3. I saved the image as preset_3head.png and it's the same dimensions as the default preset. But when I go into the game and try to preview it, the character shows completely white? I even tried replacing the default preset_2's head with mine and when I went into the game, only the head was white. I tried it as a .jpg as well and it didn't work. Any ideas? I use Paint Tool SAI btw, but it works mostly the same as gimp.

Would you mind posting the preset codes to see if there's anything wrong with them? Sometimes those can be a little tricky, and I know it may not be the problem but what you describe sounds like miswritten (not even a word XD) codes.

I do believe the files, except for the mane, have to be a .jpg, though you stated you've tried that already. I have a tutorial here using SAI, maybe follow along the saving process to see if you're doing it all the same?

Alright, so I looked at the video and after making adjustments to how I save the image it still showed up white in-game. Then, as a test, I saved the default preset1 head as preset2's head and it showed up in-game. And then I saved the same head in preset3, the one I'm having trouble with, and it also showed up? Obviously something's wrong with my picture but I honestly have no clue what lol. It's 512 x 512, 22.9 KB, and a JPG. And here's a picture of it, if that helps? (It's pretty rough lol)

Aaaaand the code:

         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_4_headMatL
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         texture_unit

   }
}

Seems to me like you've got a corrupted file, then. I tested it myself (saved the file and put it in my presets, took it out when I was done) and it showed up white as well. My best bet would be just to re-do and go from there? Because.. everything looks perfectly normal. Your material code is perfectly fine, and the fact that it's still not working has me stumped. PLUS, when I go to try to open the file it says that it's been damaged or corrupted, which pretty much gives it away that there's definitely something wrong with the picture itself.

Just checked and yup! That seemed to be the problem. I drew up a different head and it worked this time. So weird. Anyways, thanks for the help!! <3
