Preset help? (Still need help!)

[Wolflover224]

I began making my preset for my OC today, and found that the mane texture and the eye texture won't appear on the preset/in game although they are in the folder.
Any help?

Did ye' change any of the information around or delete anything from the notepad file?

For your mane, did you change the manes material part with the mane fix?

Code: [Select]

material preset_#_maneMat
{
        technique
        {
                pass
                {
                        cull_hardware none
                        cull_software none
                        alpha_rejection greater_equal 128
                        texture_unit
                        {
                                texture preset_#mane.png
                        }
                }
        }
}I've read in another post that ye've taken textures for your mane, correct? Make sure you put the texture over the mane(set the texture to multiply), if not, then the texture will either be the entire mane or not seen at all.

As for the eyes, make sure ye' have not changed the transparency settings for them(unless ye' have 'em as glowin').
Here is the default code for the eyes:

Code: [Select]

material preset_#_eyeMatL
{
technique
{
pass
{
cull_hardware none
cull_software none
texture_unit
{
texture preset_#eye.jpg
}
}
}
}
material preset_#_eyeMatR
{
technique
{
pass
{
cull_hardware none
cull_software none
texture_unit
{
texture preset_#eye.jpg
}
}
}
}ALSO, make sure ye' have saved them to the right extension file.
Remember: Files with transparency will only show up if the extension is .png.

When you use to make the eyes and mane, they are both different files. If you'll make the eyes, the file should be .jpg and if mane, .png.

Mane: Like wolfie said, make sure your mane texture is on top of the color of your mane and multiply it. If you want the mane like you get ingame, use 'fmaneMask1'. Lock alpha/preserve opactiy and color it then add the texture on top and multiply. Save it as .png and load it in game.

Eyes: Usually people use the eye masks from the texture. If you do, transfer it to .jpg in the end.

I got the mane and eyes, but now the tail won't work!
Any help?

EDIT: The mane, although it has the color and texture, appears blocky and square in places.

Did you use the mane material code I provided for you?

Code: [Select]

material preset_#_maneMat
{
        technique
        {
                pass
                {
                        cull_hardware none
                        cull_software none
                        alpha_rejection greater_equal 128
                        texture_unit
                        {
                                texture preset_#mane.png
                        }
                }
        }
}This should eliminate the blocky look.

As for the tail, make sure you've edited the material file to your image files name. Also making sure that the file extension is correct.

[Wolflover224]

I did, but the mane is still blocky and it looks like this:



And the tail looks like this even though I made the texture and made the texture a .jpg:



Help?

[Kastilla]

Ahh, now I see.

Your mane is like that because you didn't use the mask. Search in your textures "fmanemask" and where the white is, that is transparent. That will make the fringes.

As for the tail, I'm not sure what else to do.

[ritat]

Hmm.. Your tail too? The way I do my tail is take the texture of the lion tail and open it up on gimp or photoshop. Then, I make this a multiply layer and make a new layer below it. The new layer will be used to color. Once you have done that merge the layers down to get one layer. After that, save it as.jpg: "preset_numbertail". If that is what you have already done, then I am not sure what else I can do for you.c:

[Wolflover224]

I did the thing for the tail correctly, and I do believe I did use the mask, but that was the only one the texture pack had.
I'll try to fix it soon!

[Kastilla]

This here is the mask. Did you use something similar to this?

Don't go to assume ye've done everythin' correctly, there is an error somewhere that is not correct. Try and retrace your steps.
