Presets

Presets allow players to save and share their customized characters and outfits. Hyperdeep has two types of preset:

  • Character: Saves all customizations made to the character body itself (skin color, eyebrow shape, hairstyle, etc.)
  • Outfit: Saves the equipped clothing items and any associated colorway customizations.

Saving and Loading Presets

Presets are saved and loaded through the Designer menu. Character presets are found in the left-most tab, and outfit presets in the right-most tab.

To save a preset, click the large plus button. To load a preset, simply click the preset image.

Managing Presets

Presets can be deleted from within the game by clicking the cross in the top-right corner of each preset portrait.

Presets are contained in the [game root directory]/HDT/Content/Presets/Characters and [game root directory]/HDT/Content/Presets/Outfits directories. When installing a new version of Hyperdeep, existing presets can be manually copied to the new installation's presets folder.

Warning

At present, presets are usually not compatible between different versions. This is an unavoidable consequence of the game being in active development. As the game approaches feature-completeness the frequency of compatibility-breaking changes will decrease.

Preset Format

Presets are saved as .png images. The image itself is used as the preset portrait in-game, and the preset data is contained in the image file's metadata.

Sharing Presets

All information required to load a preset is contained within the preset image file and can be shared by whatever means is convenient.

Warning

Many image hosts re-encode or strip metadata from uploaded images, which will destroy the contained preset data. Broadly speaking, a generic file host will be more reliable than an image host.

Addons

Presets including addons can be saved and loaded the same as any others. Of course, the addon content will only load if the Hyperdeep installation being used includes those addons in its addon directory.
