Question on canine manes in presets

[Inoheiwa]

Alright. So, I'm working on a free canine preset of a character many of you may know: Death the Kid.
I've only seen one around, and decided to try making my first preset.
It's almost done, but there's just one problem. I can't deal with the mane properly.

For those who don't know, it's supposed to be black with three white stripes on the left side, but solid black on the right. However, I don't know how to fix this.
At first, I tried using the codes for everything else asymmetrical, but it was a marshmallow. Then I tried the normal codes with a new image, but it now comes up looking all wrong. So, how do I get it to look right?

Wrong how, floof?

I could help ya out, but I have no clue what the 'looking all wrong' means

Rip my knowledge xD

I could be mistaken on this one here , But from my knowledge. I think the only textures that can't be asymmetrical is the tail and the mane. If you try anything else, then it could mess it up and / or , not look right.

As for the other part of the question / concern , when you say 'Doesn't look right' are you referring to the mane looking transparent? If so, that is an easy fix ^^

The Original MAT File:

material preset_1_maneMat
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         lighting off
         cull_hardware none
         cull_software none
         scene_blend alpha_blend
         depth_write off
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_1mane.png
         }
      }
   }
}

NEW MAT File

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

Just copy & paste the new into your 'My Presets' and change the number to whatever preset you're working on, for example, my was 7. Hope this helps ^^

It wasn't it being semi-transparent when it shouldn't have been. I took the material codes from another preset, so I know.
However, it's more of an issue where the stripes, which are one-side only, are not only on both sides, but beneath the texture.
I can't really describe it. For some reason, my lighting didn't work, and it was showing up where the stripes should have been. At the same time, it was on both sides.
I don't know if I have to just put the stripes on the face or something...
*edit*
Basically, it's supposed to look a bit like this wolf image, but the mane failed, making this one the end result: http://imgur.com/iibM55A

Oooh...

Okej, I think I follow you now....Okej, What I suggest ( And this could be tedious but maybe it could be done ) is you only colour in certain areas of the mane on the texture if you haven't tried so already. Basically a Trial & Error until you get the desired effects.
Again, this could be tedious and will require a lot of effort or so, but hopefully it'll work out for you ~!

Alright. I'll try that when I go back to it later tonight. Thank you!

Ahh, thank you, Tailgate! I'll keep that in mind for future presets.
However, I figured out a workaround. Thanks for helping, guys! ^.^

I'll go ahead and lock this since the issue's been solved. Good luck with your preset, Raikaze. ^^
