.:Welcome to the tutorial:.
Part one.
What is a preset?
The best way I can describe a preset, is a custom skin for your character.
How do I make one?
Making a preset isn't as hard as it sounds. The thing that takes the most time, is actually making the images.
First, you need to download this file: www.mediafire.com/?m2sp5v6jvvcuu23
We'll start with making the images. There are basic images in the file to help you know where everything is;
bodyTex
eyeTex
headTex
maneTex
tailTex
I also recommend these helpful UV maps;
www.kitopen.com/t7-playable-character-uv-texture-maps
So now just. Make your preset. Be colorful. And stuff. Rainbows. Idk.
Save all images you made in your texture folder in:
Local Disk (C:) >> Eternal Fantasy >> materials >> textures. |

Part two.
So, once you have made all your images and saved them, time to make the preset work in a campaign.
Open the file that I had you downloaded, and go into the "Campaign Files" folder. Copy the two files in there into your "Impressive Title" folder. It will ask you if you want to overwrite the Campaigns.cfg. If you haven't made or downloaded any other campaigns, just click yes. Then go back to my download, and click "Material File" folder. Copy the file inside and paste it into the "scripts" folder.
Open that file (Character.material) in notepad.
You will see:

texture_unit
{
texture CharacterWingTex.jpg
tex_address_mode wrap
filtering trilinear
}
}
}
}
(You can erase the Wing section if your character is wingless.)
Now, notice in in front of every material, it says CharacterMat. You need to keep the Mat part. But change the Character part to whatever you want. I find it easiest to use your username or your character's name.
Examples with my character's name:
SyriaMat/HeadMat
SyriaMat/EyeMat
Next, change all the images;
CharacterEyeTex.jpg
CharacterBodyTex.jpg
CharacterManeTex.jpg
CharacterHeadTex.jpg
CharacterTailTex.jpg
CharacterWingTex.jpg
to your image names and formats that they were saved as.
(If you're keeping the teeth white, then you can leave it as "teethTex.jpg" if your not, then put your custom image name in.)
Once you have the material code done, save it and go back to the "Impressive Title" folder. Then open the Preset.campaign file in notepad. You will see:
[Initialize]
World_Load=Forest
Sky_DayTime=1800
Sky_FreezeTime=false
Unit_Create=PLAYER,Preset,Body,Head1,Maneless,Tail1,Wingless,CharacterMat,Tuftless
[]
EventCondition=PROGRESS,0
World_DestroyAllPortals
Sky_WeatherCycle=None
Unit_Reset=PLAYER
Unit_SetHP=PLAYER,700
Unit_ClearAttackList=PLAYER
Unit_PushAttackList=PLAYER,Dash
Unit_PushAttackList=PLAYER,Slash
Unit_PushAttackList=PLAYER,Roundhouse
Unit_PushAttackList=PLAYER,Somersault
Player_ResetSkills
FadeIn=3
There is only one line you need to change;
Unit_Create=PLAYER,Preset,Body,Head1,Maneless,Tail1,Wingless,CharacterMat,Tuftless
The space after PLAYER that reads; Preset is your character's name. The blank that reads CharacterMat is where you need to insert the same Mat that you put in the material file. The rest is self-explanatory, choose a head, mane, tail, wing type, and tuft.
Save when finished, and go in-game. Click "New Game" and click the "Preset" campaign. |

F.A.Q.
Q: My preset turns out white! Did I do something wrong?
A: There is an error in your material or campaign code. Please don't post them below, PM me.
**I had to disable my PM's, so feel free to post them. xD
Q: How do I add items to my preset?
A: Open the campaign file in notepad, and insert:
Unit_EquipItem=PLAYER,item,slot
You need to replace item with the item's name. But, it's not the display name you see. For instance, let's say you're adding a ZT Helmet. You don't put "ZT Helmet" there, you'd put, "helmet3"
You can find a list of the item names in the Items.cfg in the IT folder.
Now, replace slot with a number from 0-5. Each time you add an item, it needs to be a different number slot. |
