Changing textures
« on: July 25, 2012, 03:04:52 AM »

I want to change FinsGulf ice textures but I'm not able to do that. I extracted file WaterIce.tga from fb_maps.sfs and placed it to

DBW#\MapMods\maps\_Tex\water

I also checked that in load.ini has correct entry:

[Water]
Water = water/WaterIce.tga 

So what else should I do to make this work

MAPS\_Tex\water\waterice.BumpH
MAPS\_Tex\water\waterice.tga
MAPS\_Tex\water\waterice.tgb
MAPS\_Tex\water\WaterIceTL.tga
maps\_tex\water\watericetl.tgb

These files seem to be associated with ice, imho you should extract & convert them all.

I've found these entries in the filelist.txt of the sfs extractor, thought they might help.
Converting with IMF viewer is necessary to check the target resolution.

Edit: I tried to replace the texture in my install and it did not work for me neither. I got no clue how to solve this yet.

Hello guys, sorry for the late reply to this, I did see it yesterday.

Anyway, I'm not sure if this is relevent to the problem you're encountering, but Bombsaway has experienced problems adding his shallows textures to various maps he is working on and this may be of some help to you, it may not. :-\

https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,20264.0.html

Essentially what he said to me is if you place "-" in front of the map you are trying to add textures to in this mods folder they will then show.

Seeing as your problem appears to be based on water hopefully it will help.

If not send Bombsaway a PM, he may be able to help you more than I can.

Wishing you all the very best, Pete. ;D

Several issues were reported related with maps with frozen water, this seems to be one of them...
