texture editing tutorial
ok here goes...
1st create a new folder call it what you will in this example we will call it textures
copy textures.res and resbuil.exe into this file
create a new folder to extract textures.res to eg extracted load command console eg ms dos prompt from your start menu and change to the directory that you just made eg
C:windowsdesktoptexturesextracted>
now to extract the files type the following command exactly
resbuild.exe e textures.res *
you will see command unpacking all the files
the files should now all be unpacked in extracted file and each file should be an mmp file!
photoshop cannot read mmp files and so they must be converted...to do this download the convertor MMP Studio here
install it and then use it to convert the mmp files to dds files in a folder of your choice
for photoshop to read dds files it will need a DDS plugin for Photoshop available from here
once downloaded copy the file inot photoshops plugin then file formats folder and photoshop should now be able to read all dds files you have just created
once you have opened the file you wish to edit...save it as a bmp file then open it as a bmp file once edited in paintshop or woteva you use then open the edited bmp file in photoshop and save it a.. a dds. convert that one dds file back to a mmp file using the same convertor and copy it back into the extracted file
now you must re compile textures.res easiest way to do this is to copy resbuild.exe into extracted file...delete any previous compiled versions of texture.res and then open command line again and type exactly
resbuild.exe a textures.res *
that assumes you are in the correct directory eg
C:windowsdesktoptexturesextracted
once its doenadding all the files you will find you have a new textures.res file just copy it into res file and run game and wallah!
remember each time you create an edited texture you must re cmpile the textures.res remebering to delete any old copies in the file or else you will end up with a huge file...ne questions get me on msn shackdownhotel@hotmail.com
