I made a preset, I followed a tutorial on youtube and did everything she did. The tutorial was Feral Heart Preset Tutorial by StarStriderLP. I exported the preset into the file named Preset_7. It was all there, but when I went onto feral heart and went to the preset maker and clicked on Preset_7 my character was yellow and black (same with all the other preset files that had nothing saved to them). I've asked many people for help but none of them know what's wrong. If anyone could tell me what was wrong I would be extremely grateful.

Try this!

Also if that doesn't work can you send me what your material file says and what you have written as the file names for each?
Like the head, tail, body, mane, eyes.
Ex. Preset_1eye.jpg

I go to WindowsC: --> Feral Heart folder --> My_Presets
In the folder Preset_9, there are the preset guidlines that I downloaded off deviantart. I used those to color the preset and then exported them into the file named Preset_7 (I tried Preset_8 folder but that didn't work either).
For example, the right side of the body guidelines is labeled YourNameBody_Right. After I colored it, I named it IvyBody_Right, and I exported it from gimp file to a .jpg file. Then I went onto FH preset maker to make sure there weren't any errors in the coloring but it wasn't in the Preset 7 tab. I also downloaded a friends preset to be able to see it but that's also not in the preset maker on FH. I put the friends preset in the Preset instead of My_Presets, because that's what I was told to do.
I hope I answered your response as you wanted /)^(\

Did you change the file names in the preset material file too?
Example. It may be called Preset_1body.jpg and you didn't change it in the material file thus not being read in-game. You need to match the file names up with the file names in the material file.
EDIT: Send me your material file. copy and paste it all and post it here.

I'm not sure how I'm suppose to copy the file onto here? But you're right, the material file content is labeled as you say. And I've changed the name of the presets and named them Preset_7body.jpg and Preset_7Head.jpg. The head seems to work. The body probably doesn't work because I only have the right half done. I will do the other half of thebody and see if that works. Thank you so much for the help. I'll get back to you when I finish the rest and see if it works. :D

oh I'm so glad it is working now!
Good luck on your preset! :)
I'd like to see it when it's finished!

To add, when making double sided presets (works for body, head, eyes, and equipt aka wings only, not the tail or the mane), you have to go into the preset's .material file and change the texture names to "preset_7bodyRight.jpg" and "preset_7bodyLeft.jpg". You can do this on any of the other parts this works on. NOTE: the .material code should indicate which is left and which is right, on the lines that say "material preset_7_bodyMatL" and "material preset_7_bodyMatR", so change the texture name to the sides of the preset those correspond with, EX. "material preset_7_bodyMatL" corresponds with "preset_7bodyLeft.jpg", etc.

Ok so I finished my preset. Everything works except for the eyes. They worked when I only had one eye color but after I did one color for the right eye and one for the left it stopped working. I changed the names to Preset_7EyesRight, Preset_7EyeRight, Preset_7EyeR, Preset_7EyesR, EyesRight. Nothings working for the eyes.
Also, I ended up doing just one side for the body so both sides are the same.

Remember to check the material files and match those suckers up! :)
Also make sure they are correct because sometimes when you think you have it as jpg it's png. Or Png when it should be jpg.

I did DX The eyes are .jpg file in the materials folder. I changed the eyes from .jpg to .png just to see if it would work but it didn't work either away. Everything else works I just need the eyes.

So I just realized that what I was looking at was not the material file. I am unable to open the material file. I've tried every app my computer has and it just won't open. :I
-
AHH Nevermind I got it to open and I edited it. Everything is working now I will take some screenshots and post it to show you ^^ -excitement intensified-

Glad it's all fixed! :)

New problem, I don't know how to insert an image on here XD The pictures are on my laptop so there's no link to insert and it won't let me past on here. Lol I feel pretty dumb.

Upload them to Imgur.com and then grab the link it provides you with. :)

Here it is!! My first preset! I've gotta say, I am extremely amazed at how it turned out. Thanks so much for the help. ^-^
(Also, that is a tree on the tail if you can't tell)

Looks amazing! Glad your problems were solved! :)

Good to see the issue has been resolved!
And for future reference floof, you can always use Notepad for any .material file you want to edit, such as for presets. Every computer should have the app pre-installed (at least for Windows), and a simple search in the start menu should find it for ya. You can set all .material files to open automatically by going to one and editing what app it opens with in the Properties (right click on file>Properties>"Open with...").
A staffer should be along soon to lock this up for you!

One more question: How would I give others the download link for my preset? I was told mediafire and tinyurl but I'm still not sure what to do. I uploaded my files to mediafire. Can I have a detailed step by step explanation please?

Grab the link from mediafire and go to tinyurl.com
then past the link in the first box and then write whatever you want the custom URL to be in the second box [hopefully it's not taken]
Then copy it and give it to who-ever you want to see your preset! :)
