What exactly are you planning to do rurounin? Backgrounds for battles? If so let me know

Just experimenting, replacing the textures for the battle backgrounds, trying to stick as close to the originals as possible, mostly reworking them with smudge and grunge brushes and adding highlights, but i didn't get it in-game yet so i never knew if it looked good or not.

Wait, i  just remember i saved it in my game folder... which isn't in my windows partition...

That's the image i was going to test, it's not done but you get the idea, as for now i'm gonna have to reinstall Photoshop, drivers for my tablet and whatnot, don't think i'm gonna get back on it today.

Its pretty easy. Load your bmp into img2tex and convert it. The put the tex file into the lgp

Ok so when you change the bmp to .txt do you got to change it out with kamera then save it?
 
well, really your going to want to use Aali's texture injection to get the best results from doing this.  Simply replacing the originals with new ones of the same size isn't going to get you anywhere.  You need to hex edit the texture your putting back into the LGP so that it calls upon your new texture PNG located in your /textures directory.  Easy aint it ;)
 
Ok that sounds like a better plan but i never used a hex editor before how would i go about to change it to call upon the png file

Wrong. Replacing the tex works. I inserted a 2048x2048 texture using this method. And i did try aali's texture injection and it didnt work
 
Hmm but when i seem to try and convert the image to .tex i doesn't seem to convert it still says its a bmp format and i still tried to put it in to replace the old texture and it was just white where the texture should be
 
Ok then do i delete the the old txt file then or just leave it in there cause i named it opac and then converted to txt but nothin happened didnk;t even say if i wanted to overwrite old txt

it doesnt ask to overwrite. and you should never work on the files in the folder directly. Use a work folder and then copy whatever you need into the battle folder
 
Oh maybe thats my problem ill check it out thanks for the info

EDIT: hmm still cant get it to work i open my image which i named opac with img2txt made sure color 0 as trasparent box is checked hit convert saved as opac still doesn't seem like it did anything then put it do my battle folder and compiled it bak and it had the original texture not mine. Maybe a video of how you did would really help if not a problem   :-)

for files in the battle lgp there should be no file extension
 
Can you upload me a copy of the texture you use so i can test it out maybe it just the textures im using but i tried alot was that the only texture you tried?

I dont have it anymore
 
Darn it i just dont know what im doing wrong her its really starting to wreak my nerves i should of had at least the sector 8 battle fields done but im still stuck on trying to stick a texture in to see how it work and what works and what wont work and it seem nothing i tried is workin i even followed your instructions to the letter and to no avail it either is still the original or blank white texture    :x
 
when you get a blank white texture, you might be running out of texture memory.
 
would me trying to put in a 24 bit instead of a 8 bit texture do that
 
did you mess up the texture id?  if the texture isnt being fetched in the first place, then you'll get it all white
 
i didn't mess with the texture id i just thing when i use img2txt it does convert to txt properly so when i move it bak in the battle and compress it and play i dont think it can read it cause its not converted to the proper txt form
