Title: Help with presets?o.O"
Post by: Vidathelion on June 29, 2016, 06:07:50 am

((hope this is the right place to post this))

Anyways, I'm trying to make a scrolling preset, but I got a bit of a problem. I've looked at preset tutorials(or one so far) that claims that you have to color in the places you want the scrolling texture to be, in black.
My only issue is, I have other things on the preset in black that I DON'T want scrolling.

Example: I have a preset where I can the freckle spots on the muzzle to be scrolling, but the lips of the lion is also black. I don't want those to scroll. Its eyelashes also will probably be scrolling :/

Second thing: where do I enter the name of the scrolling texture file in the preset? This tutorial pretty much said "You put black here, put the texture file in the folder, and paste the code" it completely failed to mention where I enter it, what do I name it as, and how many files and I need for the scrolling.

Third thing: I know how to make parts of the preset transparent, but is there a way to get the transparent its to 'fade out' smoothly at the end?
Example: My lion preset has the ankles fading into transparency, but they show up in-game as solid and block at the end, not smooth.
Fourthly: How do I edit the BACK ankles? I want its back legs all the way up to the middle of the thigh to be transparent, but I'm not sure how to do that.

If anyone has any more in-depth better explaining scrolling tutorials please link me 8/

There's not a lot of reasons I can think of as to why you'd need to use white/black masks to make scrolling or glowing markings.
You can check up on my guide and let me know if you have any questions, but otherwise you should just be able to effectively layer things onto each other for the best results.
Scroll > Preset Tex > Glowing Stuff

Look under semi-transparency for the "fade out" dealio.
In some cases it may or may not be beneficial, depends on the rest of your code. Can just let me know there.

Check the my_presets > reference folder for the info on how the UV map works.
