Presets won't show to others
« on: December 12, 2015, 01:11:55 pm »
Hi everyone,

I've got a problem- hopefully this isn't a stupid question.
But I spent hours for hours making my own preset, and I uploaded the NAME_NUMBER.fhp of my "presets"-folder into my User-Panel. There was the massage "Upload successfully"- but my preset is still invisible for other players and my texture looks like a brown lion to everyone else but me. Did I do something wrong?

Thanks for your help- and I'm sorry for my bad english.

When you say your presets will not show up in game do you mean that no one else that you've shared their file with see's them or you yourself can not see your own preset?

If it's that friends can't see you in the preset you sent them try this:
I had been having this same exact problem for months and I understand you totally it is very frustrating especially because you know you're doing everything right. I was giving my fhp file to all my friends and when they'd export it they would never see it although I could see it on myself perfectly fine. After many failed attempts to share my preset for others to see I finally got to the root of the problem.
I was logging in as preach instead of as Preach and exporting my preset as preach therefore getting a preach_2.fhp instead of a Preach_2.fhp It seems that Feral Heart is very picky about your log in name when it comes to sharing presets.
Make sure you delete the exported fhp file in the "presets" folder now and instead log in as the exact name that you signed up on the forum as and reexport. Chances are that you guys have been typing some variation of your original username to log in rather than using the exact username you signed up for. And yes caps or no caps of specific letters is very important as it was in my case with preach & Preach.
Once you guys do this the new fhp file should work. Goodluck

On the other hand if it's that you can't see yourself in your own preset after exporting:
1.) Make sure that all your files are saved as the right type of file
2.) Double check the materials file of that preset and make sure you didn't accidentally delete any important parts of the coding. You can use one of your other working preset's material files as a reference or a default file as reference
3.) Make sure the preset file names match the folder & material file coding names
4.) While exporting make sure that you are logged in and that your username is typed in exactly as it was when you registered.
Some other possible solutions:
You can try going into your main Feral Heart folder and checking the file called "resources" by opening it in wordpad etc. Make sure none of the preset folders coding are missing. It must look like this -

[General]
FileSystem=my_presets/preset_1
FileSystem=my_presets/preset_2
FileSystem=my_presets/preset_3
FileSystem=my_presets/preset_4
FileSystem=my_presets/preset_5
FileSystem=my_presets/preset_6
FileSystem=my_presets/preset_7
FileSystem=my_presets/preset_8
FileSystem=my_presets/preset_9
FileSystem=my_presets/preset_10
FileSystem=my_presets/preset_11
FileSystem=my_presets/preset_12

At first, thanks for your answer!
I can see my own presets, but I'm the only one.
But it seems that I misunderstood a thing- I thought my  presets would be visible for everyone in the game if I uploaded them to my User-panel.
I didn't know that I must share the file with the peoble that I want to see the preset.
So I guess I'm going to try that...

Then, they would have to download it.

Unfortunately, I don't think this is possible for EVERYONE to see your preset! For your friends & what-not, you'll have to upload your preset file somewhere. (I personally suggest mediafire.com!) How you do this is you go to the FeralHeart opening screen, click 'Tools', then 'Preset Maker'. Go to the last tab on the top of the character creation box. Click whatever preset you want to get people to see, then press the big 'ol 'Export' button. A loading bar should pop up & then say something along the lines of "Exported preset as presets/#yourusernamehere!" Go to mediafire.com then, & create an account if you don't already have one. Upload your file. It should be something like yourusernamehere_#.fhp You can find the file in your Local Disk(C:)/FeralHeart/Presets. It's important to note that you should enter the folder name presets, NOT My_Presets! (Unless you want people to be able to WEAR your preset themselves!) Upload that file to mediafire.com & then voila! You will have to send the link of your preset to whoever you want to see. I would suggest copying your mediafire.com link for your preset, going to tinyurl.com, pasting it in & creating an easier link to remember, instead of a bunch of numbers after mediafire.com.  :D Then, send the link to your friends (Or put it in your bio for safe-keeping!) & have them download it. They should download it & open up their file manager, & move your preset file that they downloaded, to Local Disk(C:)/FeralHeart/presets. They'll have to restart their game, but they should then be able to see your preset!

It sounds very complicated, but it isn't too bad after about the first time you do it.  :)

@Levi Turner:
I guess the only thing you can do is uploading the .fhp-data to mediafire or dropbox and share the download-link in your signature and everywhere else- and wait for as many people as possible to download it.
This way they should be able to see your preset when you're online, but are NOT able to wear your preset. ...I guess?
