Preset Mane Problem
« on: May 28, 2017, 03:39:06 pm »
I seem to fail, and it looks like on the original starter preset_1 and preset_2..
What should i do to make it look like in the game?

Can you give us the material code and maybe provide us with some screenshots of how it looks in-game?

No codes, just gimp.
It shows half side mane, not full side mane.
It looks really poor, meaning wery thin on hair to make it look like a mane.
If you click at preset_1 and take on a full side mane, it is how it looks like xc

Could you show us the mane file itself?

Edit: I think I know the problem now! You used the first preset's mane file, didn't you? Well, The mane should look as spiky as this: That's the shape the mane file needs to be.

Also put this at the bottom of your code:
Code: [Select]
material preset-10-maneMat
{
        receive_shadows on
technique
{
pass
{
                        ambient 1.000000 1.000000 1.000000 1.000000
                        diffuse 1.000000 1.000000 1.000000 1.000000
                        specular 0.050000 0.050000 0.050000 1.000000 12.500000
                        emissive 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 1.000000
cull_hardware none
cull_software none
scene_blend alpha_blend
alpha_rejection greater_equal 128
texture_unit
{
texture Preset10Mane.png
}
}
}
}

My presets.

Good things take time, so I'll take an eternity and create something so good that the human brain can't handle the sheer goodness of it.

It's most likely because you're using the wrong mane texture.

This is the one you need to use:


And then you use this code to make it look solid and not transparent: (Remember to change the # to the preset file.)

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 don't understand what you mean.
If you mean how to use the texture and code, just save the picture that I gave you and use that instead of the one you're using, and for the code, open your material notepad file, get rid of the mane code (It should be at the bottom) and paste the one I have given you in
