Preset Help
« on: May 28, 2015, 10:35:52 pm »
I downloaded a preset from this: http://trystandragon.deviantart.com/art/I-made-a-few-changes-to-an-old-FH-preset-308217758 and placed it in my preset_9. Once I went to tools, preset 9 was gone.
See gone preset here: http://prntscr.com/7ajwha. Any advice?

Hello, ~Archangel~! Based on the linked deviation's comments, I infer that the file you have downloaded is an .fhp? .Fhps are to be placed in Feralheart/presets and are not public presets meant to be worn by everyone, unfortunately! Those files allow users to see the owner and/or creator of the preset in-game.

Now, public presets that can be worn by everyone will include a compressed file with texture files and a .material file. Once those files are placed into Feralheart\my_presets\(preset_(number), you will see it in the preset maker tool in-game.

Honestly, I am just a little confused about downloading presets in general because I am new to the game. I know that you download the link for the preset and than put it in the number that matches up to it. I go to the tools and preset maker, and its never there or the number disappears completely.

It's perfectly normal to be unsure at first, but with a little time and practice, you'll be able to download presets effortlessly.

The reason why presets sometimes to not appear in preset maker is usually one of two reasons:
A.) the .mat coding is glitched (but it's unlikely you'll have to worry about this, especially since you're downloading a preset and not making one yourself), or
B.) the preset's files were installed incorrectly.

A probable reason for the preset not appearing is because the entire folder containing the preset's files was moved instead of the files individually. Check to see if there's two preset_(#) folders in Feralheart\my_presets. If there is not, go into the folder you exported your presets into and check to see if there's an extra folder in there containing the preset's files. If there is, move the files to the original and restart Feralheart. Be sure you also replaced any files that were previously contained within the folder before you installed the preset.

If you are still having issues with the preset not appearing in-game, do post here and we'll be glad to help. :)

Thank you once again! Hopefully this will be my last post, and sorry to ask you so many questions! I thought it'd be easier just to post screenshots instead of attempting to explain. This is how I downloaded a preset: http://prntscr.com/7akl74
This is where I downloaded the preset from: http://www.deviantart.com/art/Light-Preset-FREE-DOWNLOAD-523311032
Preset 9 is gone: http://prntscr.com/7aklqo

I wasn't expecting the first reason that I explained above to be the culprit, but surprisingly it is! By the looks of your folder, there is no .material file, which is necessary for a preset to show up in-game. .Material files are filled with "coding" that "tells" the texture how to appear on the model in-game. Without that file, the game will glitch, rendering the game to not have that preset as an option. Since it seems the download did not come with a .material file, would you like me to find and/or make on specifically for that preset?

No need to apologize for asking questions! We're here to help you, and if you ever have anymore questions, as I said previously, do not hesitate to ask.

I just found it. I'd accidently put it in the recycle bin. xD
