Mane for Preset Has Boxes

[Brightful]

i changed the size from 1024 to 512. im using the shade from fh>media>textures. i tried using .png and .jpg (changed the settings in the preset_7 notepad) i also tried to use a shade with teeth-like cuts at the bottom, but mane shows up as 2d instead of 3d. i tried all of these steps in different feralhearts (downloads) and the results were the same.

here's a picture to what it looks like with the normal shade:


what it looks like with the sharp (teeth-like?) shade:


standing seems to work fine:


what it looks like without a preset_#mane file:


any help is appreciated

It seems to be either a coding issue or an issue with the mane image y'er using f'er y'er preset.

Did ye cut out the triangles at the bottom of the mane texture? 'Twill 'ave to be .png so the triangles ye cut out will show as transparent. That's how ye get the spikey texture that runs down the back and front of the neck when using a full mane.

Also, if that is all in order, mind posting the coding y'er using f'er the mane? The coding has to be in a certain fashion in order f'er the mane to show up properly.

i forgot about that! i'm using the preset mane fix code. i did try it with the original and it still shows up the same, just with the weird transparent-like model

Code: [Select]

material preset_7_maneMat
{
        technique
        {
                pass
                {
                        cull_hardware none
                        cull_software none
                        alpha_rejection greater_equal 128
                        texture_unit
                        {
                                texture preset_7mane.png
                        }
                }
        }
}

The preset mane fix code will definitely help your issue, as well as if ye ever have it again I'd be sure to make the mane a .png

If not it'll come out like that.

[Brightful]

i am using the fix code, and it is a .png currently. did i misunderstand?

Okay, I'm gonna try and fix it by doin' this.

Highlight everything in your MAT file, erase it and copy and paste the code I'm giving you into there. After, be sure to hit ctrl+H and it should look like this:

Put your number where It says "YOUR NUMBER" Then hit "Replace All"

Make sure your files/images for all parts of the preset match the code, or change the .png/.jpg to match the images. If not, they will show up blank/white.

Code: [Select]

material preset_6_bodyMatL
{
technique
{
pass
{
texture_unit
{
texture preset_6body.jpg
}
}
}
}
material preset_6_bodyMatR

i did the triangle cut outs, but it doesn't end up 3d

[Kerriki]

What do you mean by "3D"? Could you provide a screenshot from somewhere as an example of what you're trying to aim for?

[Brightful]

oops! ignore me. i thought it was 3D, but it looks like it's always been that way. a bit unnatural with white on a darker color, i guess.

the fix naruwolf gave me works perfectly fine. thanks everyone!

edit: actually, there STILL is a problem. lines.

they are around the edges of the mane. i'd guess this is just awfully cut-out lines, but that doesn't seem to be the problem
