My preset folders disappear
« on: May 05, 2016, 07:30:10 am »
Haii
Yesterday my friend made me a present, and idk but the materials folder had .txt at the end and I think that's why it didn't work the first time, because when I went to the preset maker and wanted to export it, Preset 10 file wasn't there anymore. So I tried to copy it to another Preset folder, this time changing the materials on my own so they would fit the names of that preset, plus I changed the numbers of the preset files to Preset 9. Soo after that, preset 9 file was gone as well.
I know I somehow made an mistake with the materials, but I don't wanna try again and again until all my preset folders are gone.. x3
Anyone knows how to fix that and get the preset folders back?
Thanks!

As a last resort you could uninstall and redownload. But as for that preset folder that you got from your friend, were all the files present? And did you open the folder, putting it in the correct preset folder that was originally sent with?
As for restoring the other preset folders you could delete everything out ( EXCEPT THE MATERIAL FILE ) And just put the numbers back in like once before.

She sent them as Preset 10, and I put them all into the Preset 10 folder but because they had different names than the original files, they didn't replace themselves automatically and I deleted the old files on my own. And after that, the Preset 10 file didn't show up anymore. But they had all the required files..

Sorry if I confuse you more, but do you mean the actual folder disappears from your file, or does it just not show up in your preset maker?

Would it be possible to see what the .mat file looked like on the inside, and what the image files looked like? It may be the way you've altered them as well as what they were originally.

The preset_10.material.txt my friend sent is this one:

material preset_10_bodyMatL
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_10bodyleft.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_10_bodyMatR
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_10bodyright.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_10_headMatL
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_10headright.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_10_headMatR
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_10headleft.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_10_eyeMatL
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         cull_hardware none
         cull_software none
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_10eyeleft.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_10_eyeMatR
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         cull_hardware none
         cull_software none

         {
            texture preset_10eyeright.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_10_tailMat
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_10tail.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_10_maneMat
{
    technique
    {
        pass
        {
            cull_hardware none
            cull_software none
            alpha_rejection greater_equal 58
            texture_unit
            {
                texture preset_10mane.png

            }
        }
    }
}







The preset_9.material looks like this after I changed it

material preset_9_bodyMatL
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_9bodyleft.jpg

      }
   }
}
material preset_9_bodyMatR
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_9bodyright.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_9_headMatL
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_9headleft.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_9_headMatR
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_9headright.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_9_eyeMatL
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         cull_hardware none
         cull_software none
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_9eyeleft.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_9_eyeMatR
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         cull_hardware none
         cull_software none
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_9eyeright.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_9_tailMat
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_9tail.jpg
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_9_maneMat
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         lighting off
         cull_hardware none
         cull_software none
         scene_blend alpha_blend
         depth_write off
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_9mane.png
         }
      }
   }
}


The files are these ones



Before I tried to use them in preset 9, they had the number 10 instead of 9, they originally belonged to preset 10.
Both, preset 9 and preset 10 don't show up in game anymore..

Odd, it looks compatible for the game; don't know why it hasn't worked out for you. Nevertheless try out this code and make sure you rename the .png files so it matches the new .mat, test to see if this works out for you.

Code: [Select]
material preset_10_bodyMatL
{
technique
{
pass
{
alpha_rejection greater_equal 1028
texture_unit
{
texture preset_10bodyL.png
}
}
}
}
material preset_10_bodyMatR
{
technique
{
pass
{
alpha_rejection greater_equal 1028
texture_unit
{
texture preset_10body.png
}
}
}
}
material preset_10_headMatL
{
technique
{
pass
{
alpha_rejection greater_equal 1028
texture_unit
{
texture preset_10headL.png
}
}
}
}
material preset_10_headMatR
{
technique
{
pass
{
alpha_rejection greater_equal 1028
texture_unit
{
texture preset_10head.png
}
}
}
}
material preset_10_eyeMatL
{
technique
{
pass
{
alpha_rejection greater_equal 1028
texture_unit
{
texture preset_10eyeL.png
}
}
}
}
material preset_10_eyeMatR
{
technique
{
pass
{
alpha_rejection greater_equal 1028
texture_unit
{
texture preset_10eye.png
}
}
}
}
material preset_10_tailMat
{
technique
{
pass
{
alpha_rejection greater_equal 1028
texture_unit
{
texture preset_10tail.png
}
}
}
}
material preset_10_maneMat
{
technique
{
pass
{
ambient 2.0 2.0 2.0
cull_hardware none
cull_software none
scene_blend alpha_blend
alpha_rejection greater_equal 250
texture_unit
{
texture preset_10mane.png
}
}
}
}

Locking since the problem has been solved.

If you define yourself by the power to take life, the desire to dominate, to possess… then you have nothing.
