PRESET HELP!
« on: June 23, 2013, 03:41:12 pm »
Here's the details, okay:
I was working on my FIRST EVER PRESET. I named it preset_3, and named everything I made preset_3[something].
So when I was finished, I put them all in preset_3.
But when I tried it on in Preset Maker, it was all white.
So, do I need to create an unzipped file named preset_3 and replace it?*
Or do I need to edit the material file that's already in preset_3's folder? (Tried it, didn't work. Took it out, didn't work.)
*I'm not really sure how to do this since I'm nooby today. 030
egg me up inside (can't egg up)

Try editting the material file by making sure all the names in the coding match up to the names of the files of your preset. Also make sure the files of your presets are saved as the correct file type.

Yes, so instead of... texture preset_3 stuff, it's preset_3body.png, or no .png?

Preset are set up to where you use jpg files for all your body parts(excluding the hair). Try to save your files just as jpgs if you are just working on a regular preset
If you still have alittle bit of confusion on presets, take a look at this preset tutorial here

Good luck

What ever file type it shows in the material file for that part of the preset that's the file type you save it as. So example in the part of the material coding for mane it shows mane file as png then you save your mane file as png file type. As for the body parts of your preset like the head, body, eyes, & tail those should be saved as jpg file type. Once you've done that just be sure the names of the files correspond to their coding in the material file.

If you continue having trouble you can send me your preset's files and I can try fixing it for you.

You can package your files in a compressed ZIP folder and send that to mediafire. Once there you can send Lord the file so he can download it and fix em.
When you compress all your files make sure you have the notepad and all the body parts. To compress a file try right clicking it>send to> and Compressed ZIP file
