Title: Preset issues
Post by: Rostova on July 02, 2016, 12:36:41 pm

I heard about the summer party and the whole preset thing, and I decided i would make a preset i had been wanting to make for awhile now. But ive had some issues. Whenever i go into preset maker, i get a blank character.

A screenshot of the preset (sorry if its bad, im still getting used to gimp)-

I saved them all as jpg files.

And as you probably noticed, im using gimp

Be sure all of your coding in the material file match up with the names of the preset files.

It looks like it does, but im not good with coding-

material preset_3_headMatR
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_3head.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_3_eyeMatL
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         cull_hardware none
         cull_software none
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_3eye.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_3_eyeMatR
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         cull_hardware none
         cull_software none
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_3eye.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_3_tailMat
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_3tail.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_3_maneMat
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         lighting off
         cull_hardware none
         cull_software none
         scene_blend alpha_blend
         depth_write off
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_3mane.png
         }
      }
   }
}

The names of your images must match the names in your coding exactly. So for example, where it says "texture preset_3tail", your tail image must be named "preset_3tail" or else it won't show up. So just change the name of your images to match the image name that follows each "texture" piece of code.

Also, you're eye files aren't right. But I can't really word it in a simple explanation so my friend whipped up a little labeled picture for you.

Hope this helps in some way! ^^

Sorry for the late response.

Is the code you posted above the exact one that's in your material file? If so you are missing some sections to your code such as the code for the body and other side of the head

Try changing the eye texture to PNG, as well as its coding.
As for the tail's coding, you've mentioned "texture preset_3tail.jpg" but should be "texture ctail_UV2"
Notice how the coding is preset3_ rather than Preset_3 .. That should also be changed.
What you could do is just simply renaming the other files to something simple like "mypreset3.jpg" and make sure the code is "texture mypreset3.jpg" as well.
