My preset won't work but it did before?
« on: February 12, 2015, 12:03:24 am »
Hey guys,

I was trying to remake a head preset I accidentally deleted thanks to my inexperience with preset making/saving, and when I tried it out in-game, the model is completely black and yellow instead of having a white head with whatever I put on it and the rest of the body being black and yellow. I swear I did everything correctly, and saved it to the right place, and named it the right name, but no matter how many times I try, it simply won't show up! The preset I made before that I accidentally deleted worked perfectly fine in-game! I'm 'calm raging' about this, and I don't know what happened! Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Blu

Shake it!

The standard black and white coloring is causally from a file missing in your preset folder. Do you have all the parts named properly? Are they named the exact same as the names in the notepad coding?

I made only a head preset, I named it properly, and I don't know what the notepad coding is. The previous one I made worked perfectly fine, and I didn't need to check this notepad coding thing. I don't even know where the coding is!

The coding is in the preset_#.material file. .3. Hopefully the head coding looks like this make sure the JPG or PNG preset photo is named preset_#head.jpg or PNG (which ever one you choice to use. .3.) Hopefully this helps.. xD:

material preset_#_headMatR
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_#head.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}
