Title: Exported Preset Problems
Post by: Bears on March 02, 2016, 11:38:51 pm
((I hope I put this in the right place ^^;))
After doing my research, I found I cannot export the preset I want on my main account because of the  '*' in my other username. I was able to get it to export fine on this one. The thing is, I do not want to have to switch in between accounts to use the preset. Is there anyway I can get the file exported under this account to work on the main one (as is sharing it or something)? Or would I just have to use it on this one?

Hmm, I don't ever r'member any issues with people exporting presets with "*" in their username.

Sadly, there is no way to transfer an exported preset to a different account. Y'mind telling me the issues with trying to export with the first username?

 Really? Huh.

Well, I followed the instruction on how to export a preset, so the files are where they need to be. When I type in the main accounts username and try to export the files it tells me that the export has failed. I assumed it must have been the asterisks because this one exported with no problem

Try transferring the files (don't forget to change the coding) to another folder and see if it works then

Mhm, how do I change the coding again?

Simply go into your material file and change everything to the new preset number. For example, if your preset is currently in folder one, and you wish to move it over to four, simply change all the 1's to 4's. However, to do this quicker, change only the 1's if it's something like "material preset_1bodyMatL" (or, really just the pieces of text found all the way on the left of the coding). If this is confusing, I can always whip up a code for you if you want ^^ (Just say the original preset folder name as well as the folder you wish to move it to)

Oh, please do! The original preset folder is preset_11 and I want to move it preset_6

Okie! Here you go ^^

Code: [Select]
material preset_6_bodyMatL
{
technique
{
pass
{
texture_unit
{
texture preset_11body.jpg
}
}
}
}
material preset_6_bodyMatR
{
technique
{
pass
{
texture_unit
{
texture preset_11body.jpg
}
}
}
}
material preset_6_headMatL
{
technique
{
pass
{
texture_unit
{
texture preset_11head.jpg
}
}
}
}
material preset_6_headMatR
{
technique
{
pass
{
texture_unit
{
texture preset_11head.jpg
}
}
}
}
material preset_6_eyeMatL
{
technique
{
pass
{
cull_hardware none
cull_software none
texture_unit
{
texture preset_11eye.jpg
}
}
}
}
material preset_6_eyeMatR
{
technique
{
pass
{
cull_hardware none
cull_software none
texture_unit
{
texture preset_11eye.jpg
}
}
}
}
material preset_6_tailMat
{
technique
{
pass
{
texture_unit
{
texture preset_11tail.jpg
}
}
}
}
material preset_6_maneMat
{
technique
{
pass
{
cull_hardware none
cull_software none
alpha_rejection greater_equal 128
texture_unit
{
texture preset_11mane.png
}
}
}
}
This is the most basic you can get with coding, and I even included a fixed mane code for you (however I'm not sure if you use .png for your files or if you have double sides or other advanced coding, so if you do then you'll have to add in that yourself). I made it so you can simply transfer the preset files right over, without having to rename them (unless of course if the files are in .png format, then you can simply change the coding over to .png)

Womp, I'm still kind of confused cx

Where do you put this code?

You go into your My_Presets folder then look for "Preset 6" and click the MAT file [material file] delete everything there and copy and paste the code Kiki gave ya.
Title: Re: Exported Preset Problems

Ah, what Kiki gave ye is f'er the preset.material file. This file icon most likely looks like a notepad. The file is what ye edit to give certain effects to presets like transparency or scrolling. This file keeps the preset materials listed and tells FH what images to use to give ye y'er preset's look.

When transferring y'er preset to a different numbered folder, ye must change the number on the files, to keep things organized and working. Once ye rename the texture files f'er y'er preset, ye must in turn change the file names inside the preset.material or else FH won't be able to locate the images need f'er y'er preset.

Adding on to what Likuu has mentioned: To use what Kiki gave ye as coding, ye can also change the numbers in y'er coding from 11 to 6.

I'm having trouble finding this file, where is supposed to be exactly?
Title: Re: Exported Preset Problems
Post by: Kerriki on March 03, 2016, 01:01:42 am
Simply to to FH > my_presets > preset_6 Open up the material file (which might be the only thing in the folder), delete everything in there, take the file I gave you and copy-and-paste into there. Save it and you should be good to go ^^

Oh cx

Wait, you are supposed to open it? Huh. Well, I get a 'unable to find software to open this file' message, anything to do for that.

If there isn't a file for you to open the material file, you can always try right clicking and say, 'open with' and select notepad. If it doesn't give you that option right away then you can select 'more options' and find it that way. ^^

I got all of that set, but it is still telling me that I cannot export the preset. This could be due to the fact that my computer does not allow file names to contain asterisks. If that is the case, how else can I get the preset to export?
Title: Re: Exported Preset Problems
Post by: Enoki on March 03, 2016, 09:12:33 pm
If ye'd like, ye can send the files to me and I'll attempt to export the preset f'er ye using y'er username? Feel free to PM them to me if ye want. ;)
