texture/dds converter

[alpaca]

Yes, the tool only supports DXT1 and DXT5 as virtually all files in the game are one of these two formats.
If somebody asks for another format I might add support for it, but for now it seems to be good enough.

And for the changes to show up you need to use --io.files_first or something, not sure about the syntax.

As I say:

[io]
file_first = true

in the .cfg file.

As I say:

[io]
file_first = true

in the .cfg file.

Oops my legendary distraction made me miss this, thanks !

So in what .cfg file do you write these lines?

In medieval2.preference.cfg ? ...

When I do this, the changes still don't apply in the game and after exiting the game and checking back that file, those lines just got "erased by the game" or something...somehow, because it's no more in there, like I never wrote it! Started the operation again like three times and still the same result....

or did I miss something again ...?

set file read-only.

[Rik_Vargard]

set file read-only.

Thank you, that did the trick so far...
So far, because... changes still don't apply in the game...
Like you can see here:

I have the [io] file_first = true added and the .texture file is changed...



What am I doing wrong...?

[will119]

What am i missing here i followed all the steps?

1. i put the texture file in my new created folder i made too convert.
2. i converted it too DDS(worked)
3. then i reconverted it back to TEXTURE. and i renamed it, then put it back in it's original location.
4. then i put the [io]
file_first = true

in the .cfg file. and saved it
5. then i run the game, i pick the unit i re skinned and when it is loading it CTD on me every time.

So can anyone help me out here?

Have you deleted the two geography files?
