Preset struggle...
« on: August 08, 2017, 10:26:23 am »
This isn't really urgent since the servers seem to be down, but I appear to be having trouble. I lost my old tutorial from a friend and it's been forever since I logged on to my old, old account I can't even remember to get onto. So basically, I downloaded an already-made preset from DA and I'm trying to REMEMBER how to actually get it to work in the preset maker / creating a new character but everything is white or just doesn't work.

I've tried every tutorial that I could find through google search, but even looking for the standard help on here has led me to dead ends or confusing instructions. I simply can't wrap my head around it and I'm sorry if this has already been asked a million times even though there are tutorials out there. If I can get a step-by-step list of instructions... that would be amazing.

I'm on windows 10, I simply downloaded the windows file to install FH... and it's been a while since I played.

The preset I downloaded is from here, and it's in my downloads as "Usiku_5.fhp". And I've pulled back from all the steps I took before in case I messed anything up.

So... now what, what's the easiest, most updated way to go about this?
Again, sorry if it's been asked a million times, I am very tired of searching and there have been so many updates since the last time I played this game so it's natural I'm a little lost...

The preset you're downloading isn't a free to use public preset, the download just gives you the .fhp file so you can see the preset on the creator's character, you can't actually wear the preset yourself, so that's why it's coming up as white in the Preset Maker. Hope that sums everything up, if not tell me and I'll try to be more clear.
Also, you mentioned connection issues, you didn't give me/us much information on the matter but are you keeping the Play Game Tab
 open at all times while you play?

OH MY GOD. I literally just realized that and nearly slammed my head down on the keyboard. I completely forgot about all of this, and I am on no sleep so this must look like someone typing in r/ambien. I'm so sorry, lmao.

It's really no problem! We all have moments like that. xD
Are you still continuing to have connection issues, though?

Only trouble I'm having now is that I uploaded my own preset to the sync, have the sync, even gave the link to download the preset file manually, but apparently it's still not showing up for other people (or at least the person who honestly should be seeing it). Is the upload immediate or does it take some time?

The preset sync should be immediate, to my knowledge. However, your friend needs to either leave the game or switch maps real quick so the game can refresh and install the .fhp onto their computer, if they've downloaded it manually, they still need to refresh their game by doing what I stated above.

They've said they have added it to most folders so I assume they've left. Ah, well, I don't really know what more I can do on my end. It's an intact preset. Not sure what else to do!

Well I'm not sure what else to tell you, lol.
I guess it's just a waiting game, if they do come back, ask them if they can see the preset.

But if they don't happen to come online soon, if you PM me the .fhp download, I can put it into my folders and tell you if I see it?

I think I can see the problem by just looking at the file name.
It's in capital letters, your username, is not. Did it export like this?
