Scrolling Mane
« on: May 09, 2017, 02:03:31 am »
I've been making presets for a few months now but I never tried doing scrolling parts on my presets so I decided to try and this is the result:

I've tried different coding for it but they all end up the same. I don't know how to fix it. Help.

Make sure your scrolling texture is named the exact same as the coding and that it's in .png, as it works better.

Hello!
Here is the code I used to make manes scroll:

material preset_#_maneMat
{
 technique
 {
  pass
  {
   cull_hardware none
   cull_software none
   alpha_rejection greater_equal 128
   texture_unit
   {
    texture preset_#mane.png
    scroll_anim 1.0 1.0
   }
  }
 }
}

If you need any more help just PM me or respond to this thread.

I doubled checked everything. Even redid the texture multiple times. Thanks for the advice though.

It looks like there is some transparency to the mane, is that correct? Did you mean for there to be transparency?

yes, I looked through many others like this but none of them worked for me.

If you meant for there to be transparency, then it should be giving you the result you are looking for. I think it has something to do with a masking issue. Do you want it to be transparent in intervals which is why you included transparent patches on the texture?

If you'd like me to fiddle with it, I can give it a shot. I would just need the texture file and the mane's coding so far ^^

I'd also find it beneficial if you could give some sort of description as to what you'd like it to look like in the end.

The coding I shouldn't need now that I think about it if it's just scrolling. However for the mane texture file, upload it to Imgur. You can either choose to post the Imgur link here or PM it to me.
