Cannot see friends preset
« on: August 28, 2015, 04:42:15 am »
Before I made this topic, I searched "Feralheart cannot see friends preset" I clicked the links, but non of them told me how to fix it.
I knew that I shouldn't be commenting on a 2 year old post so I decided to make my own.

I recently downloaded a friends preset, the .fhp file was put into Presets. When I logged on to go check her preset, I only saw her default character. Other people could see it, but not me. Any way to fix it? There is nothing wrong with the preset file, everything is correct, so I don't think I need to rename it.

This means a lot! Thanks. :3

Not saying it's for certain that this "is" the problem.

But something that can happen quite often is the preset creator exporting their preset with the wrong capital letters or capitals where there should be none. To explain this further I will use myself and my username as an example.

My username is "redlinelies", this is what the server sees it as and even though I can log in as "Redlinelies" with a capital "R", what the game sees me as, and friends and users sees me as is still "redlinelies". If I'd export my preset after/while being logged in with capital R, only I would see this preset and no one else. In order to fix this the user at hand must export the preset and with the correct capitals or small letters as other users see them, otherwise it will not work. In some cases this can cause issues for people so check with your friend in-game how THEY see their username, and compare with how you see it, they'd want to export their preset the way you see their username.



If not that, and it's only you out of a group of users that cannot see the preset, it's more than likely that you didn't install their preset properly because everyone else would get the same preset as you. Do make sure that you place the exported preset that is your friends in the correct folder of the game.

I also want to remind that if your friend has a lot of odd symbols in their name instead of a more plain one with just letters, it could cause issues for users to see them properly. Try to stick only to a-z usernames to be on the safe side.

As said above, it's probably best that you check with your friend and compare how you both see her username. It's important for her to log in before she exports her preset, and to log in under the username that she originally registered her account with. If she makes any adjustments, be sure to tell her to re-export her preset. If there is a possibility that you are the only one unable to see the preset, make sure that you're placing the preset file in the "presets" folder, located in your (C:)>>Feral-heart>>presets (not My_Presets.)

If you define yourself by the power to take life, the desire to dominate, to possess… then you have nothing.

I re downloaded the preset and put it in Feralheart>presets and replaced it with the original one, and I still have no luck. The preset name is WannaFly._5.fhp everyone else in the group can see her preset. Her username .WannaFly. (I asked her permission if I was able to mention her name)

Ah, then maybe ye 'tis because of the missing ".". If her username is .WannaFly. and the preset file is named WannaFly._5.fhp then that 'tis why ye are not seeing it correctly. Ye could try and rename the file, adding the missing period in the front of the name or tell y'er friend about it so she can properly export it with the correct spelling of her username.

Hope this helped floof and best of luck getting the preset to work.

Tmw you planned a ten minute nap but instead took a whole year.

As stated by Enoki that also could be the issue. Since her username does seem to have two "." the missing "." could be your issue. If not then maybe you might need to delete the one you have downloaded in you game, and then re-download it from her again. Then add in the changes suggested here and it might work for you.
