Hi there,

Scrolling markings (preset_7scroll.jpg) scroll wherever there is transparency on the body part (eg. preset_7body.jpg). Exporting things as a jpg gets rid of this transparency, and instead you need to export the body part as a png as this file type supports transparency. If you are using gimp to make your preset, you need to uncheck the box that says "save colour values for each pixel" so that the transparent areas remain transparent. I think that the scrolling texture has to be a png too. remember to modify the material file so that it says .png instead of .jpg, once you have re-exported everything in your preset to this file type.

Is your whole preset (eg mane, body, eye, tail, etc) supposed to have a scrolling component? Or just a certain part?

Make your material file look like this even though i'm pretty sure your code is that but i would just copy this and paste it in the material and change where you see fit jusssttt in case - also be sure to change the files to .png - just to make things easier! [you don't have to but I always prefer it when making moving presets]

And then have whatever scrolling image you want be a separate file like how the head, body, tail, and mane is all separate like this - the bottom two images. [Ignore the wrong numbers on mine! I didn't want to have to move all the files over and rename them to _7]

i use firealpaca to make preset

Another tip from a photoshoppers perspective. NEVER Save a file as a JPG. Even though it’s faster to load. It RUINS the image creating these weird giant square like formations (in the dpi sizeing) this form of image wrecking is caused by saving the file as a JPEG. So it’s usually better to save in other formats (ex: TIFF, PNG, PSD) I been using TIFF/PSD files in my FH presets and they work the same as PNG. And whenever I want to fix the file in the future without a hassle I can always open it and make another layer! ^_^

LAST NOTE!!! And HEADS UP!
You may need to change your username to something without numbers on the end.
In one of my researches, I found out that FH will CONFUSE the numbers at the end of your username with the preset file number. And once exported and sent to a friend, they won’t be ABLE to see your preset. Letting you know that dear.

i want to change my name in fh?

Not true. Aryana100, you do not need to change your username so don't worry about it~

Looking at your screenshot I already see something. Rename your scroll image from "preset_7scroll.material" to "preset_7scroll.png" (Make sure all of your files end in ".png", for that matter)

Also, do you mind re-pasting your code here, please? I'd just like to see it in case you've changed it since you last posted it c:

i created the scrolling for hea d but for mane idk
