Hello there! As you can see from the title, I need help making a preset. And if you were wondering, no, i'm not new, i've been with the server for a while now, and this is my first time making a preset. If anyone could help me, that would be amazing!
Here are my problems : The inside-ears also show as for the back of the ears, The hair color won't work, And the eye colors don't work. If someone could help me fix this, thank you! Also, I would fix the coding but, when I downloaded FH (from a while back) I never got that 'Preset_number - notepad' thing when I downloaded it.
PS, here is what I named the body parts for the preset
preset_8head.jpg
preset_8body.jpg
preset_eyes.jpg
preset_8tail.jpg
preset_8mane.jpg
I didn't add wings to the preset.
PPS, I would show pictures but, the forum said it was a 'BannedImage'.
Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!!! Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you! Thank you!!! Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you! Thank you!!! Thank you!!

Are the textures just not showing up at all and the preset is showing up solid white or black and yellow?

As for the 'Banned Image' issue, it's due to Tinypic not being compatible with the site. I'd recommend Imgur for uploading pictures c:

The head(well kind-of, because of the whole ear thing), tail, and body are fine, but the texture for the eyes and mane are yellow and black
(I also forgot to say what the name for the mane was. Sorry 'bout that '^^. It's called preset_8mane.jpg)

Inside ears problem
Look at this guide, it tells you how to place things accordingly. You can find it under "references" in your "my_presets" folder c:

Manes also need to be .png, otherwise they won't work ^^ Your eyes file doesn't have the "8" in it
You're gonna need the material file for presets. If you'd like, I can post one of my empty ones then you can copy and paste it to all of your preset folders ^^ You'll just have to change the numbers within the file accordingly

EDIT : The ear problem is fixed but, I renamed the mane body-part as 'preset_8mane.png' but when I put the mane on it, it shows these 'lines'. As in, some of the transparent parts aren't working? And I renamed the eyes body-part as 'preset_8eyes.jpg' but still dosent work

There is a code to fix the mane if it's "See through" but I don't have it handy at this moment. As for the eyes, make sure the files themselves are .jpg and match the coding.

Click Here for Preset Mane fix code (http://www.feral-heart.com/smf/index.php?topic=26062.0) I think that's what you meant by lines right?

Yes, I did put in the right code(I think) and labled it .jpg and made the eyes like this :

Here is the mane fix that should solve yer issue with the mane. Just copy and paste it into the material file.
material preset_8_maneMat
{
technique
{
pass
{
cull_hardware none
cull_software none
alpha_rejection greater_equal 128
texture_unit
{
texture preset_8mane.png
}
}
}
}
And try opening your eye file in an art program and exporting it as a .png and fix the coding accordingly.

I think I just broke the material file trying to get in it because I don't have a app to open it. Now, I replaced it with the original Internet Explorer..

EDIT : I broke all the material files -cri-

Usually the icon you have circled comes from exporting it. But you don't have notepad?

Nope, never came with a notepad, just the material file :P

if you are missing files or need a replacement, you can always visit here. http://www.feral-heart.com/smf/index.php?topic=58064.0
you don't have a program to open text files? i'm pretty sure all windows platforms comes with notepad or a similar program, so try to search for it on your computer. if you can't find notepad, i recommend using notepad++ (https://notepad-plus-plus.org/) (it's more organized). make sure you change the default program by right clicking the file, hover over "open with" and choose "change default program".

Hmm, nothing looks wrong with it to me. So all of your body,head files are .jpg right? And the mane is a .png?
Edit: Oh wait, under preset_8_eyeMatL you have the file as preset_8eyes.jpg instead of preset_8eye.jpg Looks like a typo ^^
Make sure your eye file is preset_8eye.jpg too
Hope this fixes it >~<

Thank you!!

Good to hear ^^ Good luck

For the mane, look into your FeralHeart > media > textures > masks
There should be a file called "fmaneMask.png"; it should be black with little spike things on the bottom. Open this file
Now, color the mane directly over that. Make sure to lock the layer (to not accidentally color in areas you don't want to) and that alpha channel is on ^^ (Basically, you want to see the little spike cut-out things, which mean it's transparent, which shows as a grey checkerboard thing. I'll send a picture if this is confusing lol). Once done, just send it to whatever preset folder you're using (make sure the name of the file matches up and that it's a .png) and you should be good to go c:
