Okay so first go to the User Panel here (https://feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_wrapper&view=wrapper&Itemid=55). Sign in with your Username and password of this account.

After you sign in, right below your list of characters there should be a section that says "Preset Uploader" and then a "Choose File" button and a "Upload Preset" button.
Select "Choose File" and then browse for the preset that you wish to upload.
Once you've done that, go ahead and click the "Upload Preset" button.

No problem haha. Be sure that the file is under 2 MB, otherwise the Preset Sync won't accept it.
Do you have the Preset Sync yourself? To download other people's presets?

I just downloaded it yesterday.  Oh, another question if you are willing to answer??  What format should the preset be?  I have separate PNGs for the body, head, ETC but I think I need to pack them in one file somehow?

You need to export from the preset in game
Then the files can be located in FeralHeart>Presets And then you can search your user, for you it would be "drowsycat_#.fhp"
Sorry if that made no sense at all!

You actually need to export your preset into a .fhp file. This can be done on the last tab in the Preset Maker.

Exporting your Preset
After making this preset, you will need to upload it to a file that the game can use and read as a preset. This filetype is known as .fhp. The game will export to .fhp on it's own. All you have to do is press the Export button to make this happen.
 
To do this, go into Preset Maker and go to the final tab on the very right and select the Export option. It should load through and say that the export is complete or finished. Where the Export button is located is shown below.

Once that is all set, you will need to navigate to FeralHeart > presets and find the file you just exported. Your file should look something like this:

drowsycat_#.fhp
Whereas, the # sign is the number of the preset folder that you had when creating this preset


You just need to know where this file is for when you upload it to the sync.

No problem! Let us know if you have any issues with this. Understanding it at first can be a bit challenging.

Once you are done, I will go ahead and lock this! ^^

Ok so I opened the preset maker and my preset won't show up??  It's in the correct folder but it's a blur of black and yellow?  I have no idea what the problem is

Do you mind copying and pasting your preset's code (the contents of the .material file) here for us to look at?

If you haven't opened your .material file, right click it and select "Open With..." then select "Notepad". Whatever is in there, copy it all and paste it into forums using this
[code]paste entire code here[/code]

It's likely that it's an error in the code or that your file names aren't correct in each of the .material slots.

Okay, nothing wrong with the coding itself. Have you made sure that the files that make up your preset (the body file, head file, eye file, mane file and tail file) all correspond with the names and filetypes within the material file?

You can change the section in your material file where it lists out "texture preset_3body.jpg" to match the file name and file type of what your body file is.

For example, you look in your folder and your body file texture file is called "bodytexture" and the filetype of it is ".png"
You would then go in the .material file and under both the left and right sides of your body material sections, it would look like

This: texture bodytexture.png
Not this: texture preset_3body.jpg

And this is what it would look like in your code
Do not copy and paste this code as this only contains the body portions of the code to show you what the filename and type change would look like.
Code: [Select]
material preset_3_bodyMatL
{
 technique
 {
  pass
  {
   texture_unit
   {
    texture bodytexture.png
   }
  }
 }
}
material preset_3_bodyMatR
{
 technique
 {
  pass
  {
   texture_unit
   {
    texture bodytexture.png
   }
  }
 }
}

Once you are done making sure all of the files match up in the folder and in the material file, be sure to save your material file and test out your preset in Preset Maker.
