How to find water texture.
« on: June 25, 2016, 06:41:08 am »


               

Question


 


How does one go about finding out what the water texture's is called in a hak?


 


I have a hak that I can't seem to find what is the name of the water texture is that it calls for. I would like to replace the looks of it.


 


Thanks for your time.

               If it's used in a tileset, discover the model name of a water tile by moving the cursor over it in the toolset.


Decompile the model if necessary.


Text search the ASCII model for the bitmap keyword. The bitmap for the water plane is the name of the texture.

Thanks Proleric I was able to find it following your directions.


 


However I changed the water texture but its still the same colored blue. How would I go about changing the color of the water? I would like it to be more clear then blue.

Here are some 2 examples.


 


 


 


Tileset #1

AND 


 


 


 


Tileset #2

I don't know how to take the clear water look in Tileset#2 and put it in Tilest#1


 


( OR )


 


Take the blue water from Tileset#1 and put in Tileset#2.


 


 


I did try changing the ttr01_watcliff texture and it changed the look but not the color. I can't get the blue to become clear or the clear to be blue.


 


 


I could use some help with this.

The texture in tileset 1 is ttr01_water01. I'm not sure about the other one, but it shouldn't be too hard to find in the hak. Keep in mind that water has an associated .txi file - that will make it easier to locate.

Thanks Frush O'Suggill


 


 


1. I took  ttw01_water02 from Tileset#2


2. Converted it from tga to dds


3. Made to copies of it and named them ttr01_water01 and ttf01_water01


4. I added them both to my VT_Forest_Addon.hak


 


 


However the water in Tileset#1 still isn't clear it is still the same color blue.

Well I couldn't get the one water to look clear but I could get the clear to look blue so I just went that rout. So at least they match now. '<img'>

I found the problem. For some reason it will not work as a dds. However when I tried it as just a tga file it worked with no problem.

If I remember correctly txi and dds don't play nice together
