Preset Cel Shading Help [Solved]

[sanrio]

I hope this is okay for me to post this here as I don't want to clump up >this< thread with questions

As the title states, I need a bit of help with the Cel Shading effects shown in >this< thread, it's only the coding that I need help with (I think)

I was going through the instructions one by one, and I got confused as I added all the 3 pieces of code given, but when I looked at the "Your mat file should look like this", I got very confused.
It looked COMPLETELY different to mine, even though I followed every step.

SoftMoon's Mat File (Apparently)

Code: [Select]

import * from "CelShading.material"
material preset_1_bodyMatL
{
receive_shadows on
technique
{
pass : CelShadingDecal
{
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
emissive 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 1.000000
cull_hardware none
cull_software none
texture_unit decal
{

tex_address_mode wrap

}
}
}
}

I feel as if I'm missing code, which I probably am, but none is given?
I've also tried to figure out a way to add SoftMoon's already made mat file into mine but I just can't get my head around it.
If someone can help or just give me the code then that would be absolutely amazing and I would be so grateful.
I also apologize if this is worded in a weird way, I'm just unsure on how to fully explain my problem.

[teanovai]

when i was testing it out a few weeks back, i got awfully confused by the instructions as well.

what i found to work was to just delete the original material file and replace it entirely with the code that was given in the example. so your material file should look exactly like softmoon's example, just of course with the different parts of the preset added in and not just the body.

here is an example of mine:

Thank you so much! I'm glad I wasn't the only one that wasn't confused.

I've put into the coding, everything works perfectly except for the tail, and I don't know why.

i'm glad it helped! and it seems you forgot to change it from preset_4tail to preset_11tail.

I swear I could've changed it, hm.
Anyway, I changed it and it's still not working.

oh, whoops. just noticed it wasn't working on my half, either. i've figured it out now.

delete this part entirely:

Code: [Select]

import * from "CelShading.material"
material preset_11_tailMatL
{
receive_shadows on
technique
{
pass : CelShadingDecal
{
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
emissive 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 1.000000
cull_hardware none
cull_software none
texture_unit decal
{
texture preset_11tail.jpg
tex_address_mode wrap
filtering trilinear
}
}
}
}
import * from "CelShading.material"
material preset_11_tailMatR
{
receive_shadows on
technique
{
pass : CelShadingDecal
{
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
emissive 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 1.000000
cull_hardware none
cull_software none
texture_unit decal
{
texture preset_11tail.jpg
tex_address_mode wrap
filtering trilinear
}
}
}
}

and in its place, paste in:

Code: [Select]

import * from "CelShading.material"
material preset_11_tailMat
{
receive_shadows on
technique
{
pass : CelShadingDecal
{
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
emissive 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 1.000000
cull_hardware none
cull_software none
texture_unit decal
{
texture preset_11tail.jpg
tex_address_mode wrap
filtering trilinear
}
}
}
}
just remembered that you can't have an L or an R version of the tail, lol.

Ah, I'm surprised I didn't realize that earlier, lol.
Thank you very much for your help!

I'll lock this up for you as the issue seems to have been fixed. c:
