Replacing Textures

[riptor7364]

I feel like I'm missing something simple here, but I exported a few textures from the /textures/ folder. DDS files.. I modified them, and imported them back into my map via asset manager.

The specific texture was _hd.w3mod/textures/waterblobs1.dds

I also tried changing the asset paths, switching sd to hd, importing the mdx and dds files for the model that uses that texture (water elemental). No luck..

What am I missing.. how do you do this

Try just...

textures/waterblobs1.dds

I do not think it resolves the file system nesting.

It's not working for some reason.

File Name = textures\water_blobs1.dds
Mode = HD
Teen = No
Locale = Unknown
Type = Other
Size = 85
Full Path = _HD.w3mod\textures\water_blobs1.dds

Is there a step I'm missing? I just import it via asset manager. The goal here is to just globally replace that texture.

I downloaded the nvidia/photoshop installs for dds support, to modify those. I thought I might be saving those files wrong, so I also tried taking a different dds file, and just renaming it, then trying that.

Nothing is working for me so far.

It saved as DXT5?

It saved as DXT5?

Maybe not.. that might be the issue.

I don't know much about this dds format, but when I save the file from Photoshop, there's a long list of different ways to save the file, with tons of options.

Still trying to figure out what that needs to be.
