help

[stfas]

could i get a little help in a mini-mod that im making for myself?, it makes so that campaign uses my ultrian scheme, id be happy if someone could help me with it

[IBBoard]

Which version of the game are you doing it for? And what tools have you got and tried using?

[stfas]

well im using dc 1.2 and i meant change the teamcolour in sp to the ultrian scheme i made.

With all of the campaigns then you can't just change the team colour, what you need to do is change the textures.

If you download the Texture Tool from Skins@HWT, and an SGA extractor (I'd recommend my SGA Explorer ) then the basic steps are:

• Extract all Space Marine WTPs from the Shared Texture SGAs (DC and DoW)
• Set up your teamcolour in the Texture Tool settings
• Do a "compile TGA" for all WTP files
• Do a "TGA->DDS" for all TGAs (DXT1 should be fine) or convert each one manually using another tool/application for better quality
• Find the ID of the textures used in the DC campaign (not sure as I've not looked, but someone on the Relic forums found it) and rename the files to match
• Compile RTX files from the DDS files
• Enjoy

Hopefully that should get you started

they use default skin (except sp fc)

well can i get a little help?, when im trying to convert the dds files to rtx it comes up with an error "ERROR: DDS file name specified must end with a number to identify RTX e.g. _default_0.dds"

Firstly, please use the edit button when you're posting replies close together like that. That's what it's there for

When I said "which texture", I meant which of the RTX files. There are eight Relic-made RTX files (which are fixed colour, like RSH files) and they are used instead of WTP files for the team colouring. You need to find which of those it uses so you can replace them.

As for the error, yes, that's expected in some situations. All of Relic's RTX files are in the format unitname_default_0.rtx or unitname_default_1.rtx and so the Texture Tool forces that format on the DDS files it converts from. Just make sure you use the right file name number for the Space Marines in the campaign and it should work fine and replace the in-game textures okay.

was just to say i just fixed the problem

[stfas]

meh interfearing with the game somehow

[IBBoard]

Edit button, please Unless it's six hours to a day separate then it can normally be done as an edit.

How is it interfering with the game? If it is causing crashes (which it shouldn't do for a simple RTX replacement) then please post the contents of the warnings.log file after it happens. Otherwise, just describe what happens and what you've changed where (including which files you've extracted).

no its making the mantle on fc white if not nearer, and someother things like xrayed for some parts

[IBBoard]

X-rayed sounds like the alpha channel has gone wrong somewhere. Someone had it once before where a unit got a blue hint and were ghost-like because his paint program put the colour channels in the wrong order. You shouldn't get that issue if all you used was the Texture Tool, though.

As for the FC's mantle, what happens if you regenerate the TGA using a different colour scheme? It's possible that the intensity of the colour is 1.something and so light grey becomes white.

hmm i cant test that right now for im at my dad and forgot to bring the dow cds. for i forgot i was going to reinstall dow/wa/dc
