ah, a simple mane fix code will help. here, i'll give you mine (it has shading)

material preset_1_maneMat
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         cull_hardware none
         cull_software none
         alpha_rejection greater_equal 128
         ambient 0.5 0.5 0.5 1.0
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_1mane.png
         }
      }
   }
}


hopefully that works <3

EDIT: OH ALSO! if it's on your drawing program too, then put the mask in your drawing program, paste the texture in, turn the texture to multiply, and lock the alpha channel on the mask. then you just color ;D

It's just a simple coding issue that should have been fixed with the update, but I guess not.
Open the .material file in the preset folder, and replace the mane section with this coding:


material preset_#_maneMat
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         cull_hardware none
         cull_software none
         alpha_rejection greater_equal 128
         ambient 0.5 0.5 0.5 1.0
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_#mane.png
         }
      }
   }
}



If you have any questions or need extra help, PM me. I'm a master with presets.

Hm. I used both of those, and it didn't really change anything. It's not transparent, it's the block/square things.
This is what happened when I used babystrits's method -

And, when I used Wolf Fandom's method, it didn't change anything.

And yes, after I added the coding Wolf Fandom suggested, I saved it, and I went back and saved it multiple times.
So, how would I remove the square/blocky stuff?

hmm... a problem i find with manes is that unless it's a .png file, the transparent part would not be transparent.

i suggest remaking the mane as a .png file if it isn't already.

screeches
I remade the mane in GIMP (because before I was using  FireAlpaca)
And now it's working
the blocky stuff is gone

mm, that was probably the problem. i only use gimp when doing presets since it works the best and no problems except for things within coding come up. perhaps you should just stick to gimp in the future for the manes? lol.
