Cave Waverider Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 When I try to change a shirt texture with Photoshop following the tutprial, the .dds texture always gets too big for Xpacker to reimport it.

I set it to 4 and it's working nicely!Is there a list for which formats are used for other parts, too?Right now I'm trying to edit and save the normal map to go along with the texture I edited, but I think I'm saving it wrong, too, since all it seems to do is to remove the detail and make the shirt glossy. Saving it as 3dc normal map generates a too small file size and while saving it as DXT5_NM creates a file of the proper size and it looks right in photoshop, but doesn't seem to work right in the game. Do I need to save it as cube map instead of 2D Texture or perhaps adjust some of the settings revealed by the "Normal Map Settings..." button? Quote

Cave Waverider Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Thanks, that worked.Does anybody know which files control the specular maps ("shiny parts"), especially for the shirt? Quote

It's more visible on the smaller shot of the in-ring action where the ring lights shine on the shirt directly.Now this doesn't seem to be part of the texture (shirt.dds), nor the normal map (shirt_n.dds), for I've changed those. I assume there must be a separate specular map or something similar somewhere, but I can't find it. Does anybody know what the files that are responsible for that shiny/reflective part are called and which archives they are located in? I can't find anything on those in the tutorial.

And perhaps also how to make the "Ambrose Asylum..." lettering more shiny in it's stead. Edited September 4, 2015 by Cave Waverider Quote

Cave Waverider Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 (edited) Thank you very much JulianBITW! I slapped myself on the forehead after I read your explanation, for I've been doing it years ago when I was doing lots of texture modding on other games. I can't believe I've forgotten so much.

GameElite™ Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 Your problem with the 000A is this. You need to extract the 000A from the file and then after go to utilities>decompress file with header using zlib and then it should work. Quote
