custom race: blurry/warped textures
« on: May 23, 2012, 01:42:11 pm »


               Hello. ':blush:'
I have a problem with duplicating a race using the human (or elf) original files from NWN.
First I searched and copied all mdl and plt files with NWN Explorer for humans and decompiled with NWNmdlcomp and - 2nd try - NWN Carottes. The result seems the same for both programms, have not noticed any corruption of the scaling etc.

Then I renamed the files for use as another race/appearance type, without further changes. The prefix for example pfh0_* has also be changed inside the files using the tool RenameIt. 
The appearance type is already added to the referring 2da data.

Odd results:
Torso and pelvis part 001 and 002: The texture for the female underwear is blurry and warped.
The "painted" toes on the original feet part 001 is missing, giving them a shapeless appearance.

Do not know whats going wrong, I thought I can make a 1:1 copy by only duplicating the files.

Sorry if this problem is already solved, searched in forum and via google for quite some days.

               Sounds a lot like you extracted the low-quality textures, not the high-quality ones. The high quality ones are located under "TEXTURES_TPA" in NWN Explorer, while the low quality ones are found... in various places. Might want to check you got the right ones.

               Ups ... ':crying:'  yes, thats my fault.

Thank you very much.

But one more question. Except for some heads, there are only the higher textures for the human "bodyparts" in Texture.TPA. Do the other races refer also to these files?

               Yeah, all races use the "human" body parts for most pieces, as far as I'm aware - the models and mapping changes a little but they're otherwise identical. You can change that, but then you'd be adding a few hundred MB to the total size of a download (and if they're identical anyway, there's no point!).
