I cant find how to import textures with this new release? can anyone help me out?

[kieranxp5]

When I change nikos face texture, his eyes turn black... Anyway around this?

[simkas]

Does anyone know why is Niko's face texture almost completely transparent? I exported the texture and when I open it in PS, it's the correct texture, just that it's almost completly transparent.

Probably specular texture as alpha...

Well, how do I get the real face texture? One that isn't transparent?

Have you tried editing the transparent one and seeing if that works?

Well, it's all transparent, so I can't really see it. It's barely visible.

Its needed, and I guess its the only head texture. Just separate the alpha from the texture and remember to get it back.

Where is the face texture?

I looked for it but i couldn't find it.

Whadya mean "seperate the alpha from the texture"? There are no alpha channels in it, the png texture is just pretty much completely transparent itself.

And if I save it as a jpeg, the texture is normal, just raped by jpeg quality.

Yes, it's working just fine, no errors.

Well, it's all transparent, so I can't really see it. It's barely visible.

Cheap trick I use.

Open it in Txdworkshop then export both layers as separate bitmaps.

Then when you are done create a new txt using txdworkshop again, set it to have alpha in texture properties and import your new pictures. One on texture slot and the alpha on the alpha slot.

Then export it as a png. Job done.

Extract the texture to png then open it in txdworkshop.

[SLAYERMAGGOT]

Hey Guys,

 

After i replaced a texture the game won't start, i used aru's mod patch and have installed update 1.01.

Now i can install 15 gb's again

 

[OffspringBR]

Great JOB!

 

I just wondering, are you goin to, in te next version maybe, put an editor of .sco scripts!?

 

I'm goin crazy to edit a .sco file that contains the Ping Limit for Lan player, players from My country just don't have good network connections, so I do need to change so they can play in LAN mode without problems!

 

I have tried SparkIV and OpenIV, both are great! Very nice work, I'm just waiting for an .sco editor!

 

IF you need help with the algorism I shoulda assist you! =)

 

Thx, keep your GREAT job!

 

=D

[C06alt]

sco editing/creating would be amazing.

Do I always have to modifiy the level to 1 when I replace a texture?

As far as i understand OpenIV can only replace the Highresolution image (the 'first' one). So if you edit a texture you need to set it to 1, so the game looks at the Highres image first (you edited version). For small objects, for phone themes its not necessary... Just try it out i guess. If the game flickers or doesnt show > set it to 1

[psykohomicide]

[aceship]

Can We add model or replace it?

There are no plugins for exporting or importing that stuff into any 3d software so obviously no
