Yes there should be no restrictions to maximum texture size. |

What tool are you using for the textures to save in .dds format? You need to save them with alpha channel. I added the textures uncompressed to the tutorial pack. Under: 3. Advanced Modding -> 4.Creating character skin maps * Uploading now, so download in about 1 hour. |

If i open it and save it as .dds do you think t would work? |

The file "bump_all.jpg" is the file in question. It is not in .DDS for like all other files surrounding it. If you load it up into a image editor and save it (unchanged), it becomes corrupt and broken in-game. Changing the file to .DDS format vie an editor, causes the game to CTD. |

I have some questions regarding the PNG texture files: The wiki says: The character skin maps can be found in the 'Tutorial resource pack'. Use e.g. SuperPNG plugin in Photoshop to open the 4 channel PNG files. Save 4 channel PNG files to DXT5 (with alpha channel). Skin color maps are 4 channel .PNG files. The 4th channel is the specular map. To be used they need to be compressed to DXT5 .DDS file. Question: Where are the files in the resource kit? I see some body_all.png but some appear empty also the 4 channels I see are r,g,b,rgb Also I see this in changing textures portion of the wiki: XStoryPlayer bump/displacement/normal textures are not in the .dds file format because that results in artifacts due to its normalized nature. Question: Bump and normal and displacement are separate maps? I was under the impression they were the same thing. Aare other maps supported? eg. reflection, transparency, specular.. |

@aacewin >> Question: Bump and normal and displacement are separate maps?I was under the impression they were the same thing. In most cases we use a height map. From that height map a normal (bump) map is derived by the engine when using it. Height maps allow for easy manipulation so that is why we use them (makes modding easier). This is why the texture has to be a 1 channel image. When it is a 3 channel rgb image the software thinks its a normal map. So they can also be used directly instead of the height map. >> Aare other maps supported? eg. reflection, transparency, specular.. Yes, when an color image is 4 channels the default is that the 4-th channel is the transparency. But by setting Code: color_w_type = SPEC; |
