Title: Preset not showing up
Post by: Mist358 on December 04, 2016, 02:03:08 pm

This is not for me, but for my friend.

I have made a preset for my friend, but when I've send her the .fhp file, she told me that it's not showing up. That it's that yellow-black thing which shows up when the preset folder is empty. So I've send her the textures and .material file but it still didn't work. It works in my preset maker, thought, which is pretty weird.

Any ideas why is this happening?

You could send her the actual preset file, With the code and stuff? But the downside to that is that they can use your preset.
Not really sure on how to fix this issue, Sorry.

If you're trying to send this preset to her so that she can use it on her own character, what you'll need to do is send her the entire contents of the preset folder in which you made it in. So for example, if you made the preset in preset 2, you'll have to send her all the preset 2 textures and material files. She has to place this in her own preset_2 folder for this to work. She then will have to type her username exactly how it appears (Capital letters count!) into the username space on the game login screen. Then she'll have to go to the preset maker through the Creative Den. She'll pick preset 2, and then hit export. She'll then have to login to the game and edit her character, go to the last tab, and hit "Use Preset" For others to see her preset in game, she will need to put up the .fhp (with her correct username) download link for others to download.

If for some reason this is unsuccessful, open your material file in notepad and check what is listed next to the word "texture". If the name of the image in the material file does not correctly match the name of the texture files you have, then you have to change the name in the material folder to match the images in your folder. File format counts as well, so if your image is a .png, make sure it reads ".png" in your material file.
For example:

Material file reads: "texture preset_2head.png"
Then Image must be named as "preset_2head.png"

Also make sure that she is replacing the material file existing in her preset folder with the one that you are giving her.

Did your preset export properly? If the game lagged or froze while it was exporting, that may have caused it to mess up.

Just to be sure, double check that everything is correct in your .material file and that the extensions (.png/.jpg) match.

Make sure that it exports it with the correct name as well (for example it should be "VortexAlive_1.fhp" and not "vortexalive_1.fhp") or it probably wont show at all for others... This error will probably happen if you ignore using the capitalization in your username when you try logging in as the preset maker uses what has been typed in the username field.

I have some experience with exporting and sending presets to others. That my friend has already three other presets made by me and this one is the only one that doesn't work. But I've send her all files that were in the preset_5 folder

Did she replace any existing files in her preset 5 folder?

So this is a preset for her or your preset that you're trying to get her to see?

Either way, I'd recommend doing a double take through your code just in case there's something off. I highly doubt it since you are able to see it no problem. Also, you may want to try reexporting it a few times.

I left a recommendation on your other post to make a "dummy" preset for that folder and I recommend it again for this as well.

Make a sort of "dummy" preset. A random texture for the body, eyes, head, (all of the parts) with the correct code to accompany it and put it in the preset_12 folder, and export it. Then, after exiting out of FH, put your actual preset back in and try to open it up and export it. The reason for the dummy preset is to act as kind of a reset for that preset folder. (Sometimes it helps, trust me). If you are still having problems with preset_10 then do the same thing.

Except for, in this case it would be preset_2
