How to: Add Wings to Your Preset (Any Preset)
« on: January 29, 2012, 03:32:22 pm »
I've seen a number of topics about this, so I'm making this tutorial. ^^
Please note that this tutorial assumes that you have a preset made already.
So, let's begin.

First, go to: C:\Feralheart\my_presets.
And choose your preset's folder. Note that it doesn't have to be preset_11 or preset_12, as many people think it must be.
Once in your preset's folder, open it's material file in notepad. You will see all your codes, just scroll down to the very bottom.
Add this to the bottom:
Code: (Equip Codes) [Select]
material preset_#_equipMatL
{
technique
{
pass
{
texture_unit
{
texture preset_#equip.jpg
}
}
}
}
material preset_#_equipMatR
{
technique
{
pass
{
texture_unit
{
texture preset_#equip.jpg
}
}
}
}
Note that I have numbersigns in that code. Just change them to your preset's number.

Now, to make the image.
This is something that can be done easily, using the wing shadings as a guideline.
The wing shadings can be found in: C:\FeralHeart\media\textures.
So just make your wing texture, using those as a guide, and name the texture correctly, according to our code.
Then go in-game to Preset Maker, and then click your preset's number, add it's wings, and they should be there!

If you have any problems getting it to work, please feel free to post or PM me and ask. ^^

Thank you so much for this!  I've been having difficulty with a preset for so long, but this is great :D

Ok, Im too lazy to copy the wing shading, so I just merge it with the preset markings, but that makes the color paler than the rest of the body. Is there a way I can still do that without it being pale?

Kayla, when you merge the wing shading, is that layer (with the wing) on 100%?

No, i try to tone it down enough so it's visible, but it's still paler than the rest of the body.

Depends on what image program you're using. While changing the layer opacity works in some cases, in others, you might find it better to use the "Multiply" or "Divide" options.
