Can only get watermark name or image to work but not both Jan 9, 2020 0:19:53 GMT

If I leave the names as the default, add the images to the watermark folder, and add the names of the images in MSE > Set info > Watermark links the images work fine and I can add them to the cards no problem. The names in the watermark drop down are the default though which is mildly annoying. If I try to change the names in the watermark-names file the names show up properly in MSE but then the images stop working. How do I get both to work? I'm guessing there's a line of code in the watermark file I need to change to but I can't figure it out. Can someone help me? Here's an example of what I have in the watermark-names file:

choice:
name: ironocy
choice: aliens
choice: humans
choice: other

Here's what I have in the watermark file:

custom watermark one: script: set_combine(combine:"shadow", input:set_alpha(alpha: 1.0, input:custom_watermark_1(aliens)))
custom watermark two: script: set_combine(combine:"shadow", input:set_alpha(alpha: 1.0, input:custom_watermark_2(humans)))
custom watermark three: script: set_combine(combine:"shadow", input:set_alpha(alpha: 1.0, input:custom_watermark_3(other)))

I've also tried replacing custom_watermark_1 with aliens and it doesn't work. Where and what exactly am I supposed to put in the watermark file to properly link the names to the images?

I never could get it to work I tried changing every part of that string in the watermarks file. If anyone knows how to change the names that appear in the custom watermark menu without breaking the images attached to them please let me know.

to use the custom watermarks, you just put their address in their fields in the Set tab. fiddling around in the code is likely to break it for you and make it not work when other people use your file.

Instructions
Create your watermark image in a program that supports transparency. 200x200 is a good size.

In MSE/data/magic-watermarks.mse-include, you'll want to add a folder to keep everything neat and reduce the chance of conflicting watermarks. For example, my folder will be "MSE/data/magic-watermarks.mse-include/cajun", and this is where we will save our watermark, "afnan_stand.png" in this case.

With that saved we go to our set's Set tab and add our watermarks address within the watermarks file as Custom Watermark 1, ie "cajun/afnan_stand.png" for our example.

Now when we use the watermark field, our custom watermark is waiting for us!

Remember to provide the watermark images alongside the set file, and remember to add those to the watermarks folder when they are given!
