Hello people!

I'm working on a map of my dreams and I'm sure I've managed to mess the whole FH up again. :') At first it couldn't load some [not all] of my wip maps and crashed instead, so I tried to fix it and now I can't enter the game at all because it says I'm missing d3dx9_42.dll. I would have tried to reinstall the game but I have so much meshes, presets and all there that it would probably be a pain so I'm leaving this option to be my last one. I searched for my issue to my best and I saw others offering their d3dx9_42.dll's up for download, except all the downloads were somehow no longer available. I'm sorry to bring up an issue that seems to be well-known already but despite an effortful search I couldn't fix it. If anyone wouldn't have minded sending me theirs to try to get my game to run, I'd be very grateful!
Once I get my game to run, I'll probably have to face once again the map issue. I may ask about that too if I'm not succesful finding a solution myself.

Thank you very much in advance!

Thank you, I've fixed the eyes now!
I thought so. But is there perhaps a way to make them less visible or something? Somehow cover them?
I have downloaded a downloadable transparent preset made by someone. It uses the transparency as does the one you sent me as an alternative and it has no texture problems. It also seems to have somehow less visible "folds" and the teeth and eyes are in it and do not show throught at the same time.

Is it anyhow possible to make it glow?
I've recently noticed that on one side of any transparent preset are more of the folds than on another (not sure if it's left or right side ;; ) as if something would cover them on one of the sides. Is it possible to have the whatever cover factor is there work on both sides?

Also this is pretty off-topic but I don't feel like starting a new thread. Can someone steal a preset by somehow taking it out of an export file or it is safe for me to give away my export file so that others can see my preset? I've made a couple of presets that I'm kind of protective of.

I must ask too much questions ^^; Thank you for your patience with me

Hello, I quite know my way around the game, but I'm new to the forum. Actually this is the first larger forum for me to be a part of. I hope I hit the good category and I apologize if this has been asked before, feel free to redirect me if so, I couldn't find an answer anywhere though.

So, I decided to make a ghost preset following one tutorial found here.

Turned out to be really cool looking, except the fact that the eyes, teeth, legs on the other side of the body, the folds in the paws, the parts of the ears that are supposed to be inside the head and company showed throught. I was wondering if there is any way to not to make them show throught?

I've also noticed that some textures are not seen throught it. Not sure if that has any fix but if it would have, that would be awesome.



Here's the code. I'm new to such coding.
