Benny_ 0 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Sounds good! I've did it in almost the same manner, but I decided to use folders and filelists. This is my folderstructure: ->Alderney (Manhattan) ->manhat05 ->manhat05.xls ->manhat06 ->manhat06.xls ->mh06_p_txd ->dev ->final ->orig ->manhat...->Broker (Brooklyn) ->... And the *.xls-files are lists of all models/textures that contains in this archive, where I can color each texture-/model-file in red (untouched), yellow (W.I.P) & green (final).

Benny_ 0 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 (edited) Check manhat09.img... there are some files starting with "esb_"... try 'em If don't know where u can find a special texture: - Start GTA - Go to the object u want to retexture - Press ESC to open the map - Take a screenshot to remember the location - Exit/minimize the game - Open the map located on the bottom of the first post u see here: http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=474215&hl=gims - Find the location u chose ingame, by the help of the screenshot that u took - There u can find a text on the map (e.g. for the empire state building it is "manhat09_5") - Now u know in which *.img-file u have to look for it (in that case = manhat09.img) Thats the way i do this... I don't know if there's a better and easier way... Edited July 13, 2011 by Benny_ Link to post Share on other sites
Baender 0 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 (edited) After i read a lot about iCEnhance and playing around with Open IV and Photoshop, I want to overhaul the Interior exspecially Romans Taxi Office, Vlad's Bar and the different player homes etc. I already found Romans Mansion, but i can't find the outdoor part of the house. Can somebody tell me the exact position in Open IV / Spark IV. I have the same problem with Roman's Office, i already found the interior but not the exterior.

Darecki 7 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I have a one, maybe unnceccesary question to you guys - you also make bumpmaps/normals for new textures, right? Link to post Share on other sites
Benny_ 0 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 (edited) @Baender: Sorry, I can't find it... :-/ @Darecki: Yes! And I'm just trying to edit the textures/shader to add new normalmaps... I hope it'll work //Edit: YAY! It works! I exaggerated a bit, but its just a test... look at that kerb... Edited July 13, 2011 by Benny_ Link to post Share on other sites
Baender 0 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 @Benny_ Did you add "new" normals, or did you edit existing normals? I can not imagine how a game could detect a normal and knows how to use it. Link to post Share on other sites
icelaglace 88 Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 @Benny. Very slick mate ! Very good job. I'm going back to redo textures in a few. I just need to release this stupid 1.25 then done Link to post Share on other sites
DuPz0r 6,264 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Has anyone retextured the leaves on the trees?. They look really green by default. Link to post Share on other sites
Benny_ 0 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 @Baender: Yes, I added new ones and "intergrate" them in the shader, so it works the same as the diffuse map. I'm just testing around. @ice: Thanks man ! Steady on ... ur doing a great job! Can't wait to see new peds and ICEnhancer 1.2.5... @DuPz0r: If u're using ENB u can change the leafcolor in ur enbconfig. Before: After (Normalmap added ): Link to post Share on other sites

Benny_ 0 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Who's interested... I've wrote a How-To... I hope my english is good enough for that... HOW-TO CHANGE THE SHADER OF EVERY TEXTURE WITH OPENIV (TO ADD NORMALMAP ETC.) At first, you need to know the name of the texture you want to change. Than you have to find the *.wdr-file (Modelfile, NOT Texturefile) in OpenIV of that object with the texture you want to edit. RMC on it than “save content/export” and save it anywhere on your harddrive. Now you have a *.odr-file in the destination folder that we want to edit. Open it. It looks like this: I want to edit the texture “nj01_kerb2.png”. So I look for it in that file. This is the line I found: The first (“gta_default.sps”) is the shader, which is currently used for it. Change it like this: As you can see, I changed the shader to “gta_normal.sps” (You can use every shader... you find them in your common/shader/.. folder.) to activate normalmapping for this texture. The first digits behind the filename are the specularFactor (higher = more glossy), the second is the specularColorFactor (I don’t know…), the third is the bumpiness (higher = more bump) and at the end of this line is the filename that we use for the normalmap we want to apply. (You can use any filename) Save the changes. Now create a Normalmap and put it in the same folder with the filename you choose in the *.odr-file. (in this case it is nj01_kerb2_n.png) Go into OpenIV, open the right *.img-archive and select New -> Import openFormats -> Multiple Import. Than select the *.odr-file. All files mentioned in it will be automatically imported. Thats it! Link to post Share on other sites
