Imposting a Texture?

[Marine OKeefe]

Ive searched these forums and both the Wiki with no luck so here goes.

How do I convert a TGA back to a .Tex file to be used as a player reskin?

[PinkFrog]

that'S what the artmanager is for: "create asset" and voila!

Im not creating a new ground texture, im making a new skin for the player character.

Sample batch I use. Put it together with the .tga files in the root folder of your TQ installation.

texturecompiler femalepc01_white.tga femalepc01_white.tex
texturecompiler femalepcskirt01bmp.tga femalepcskirt01bmp.tex

md .\pc\female

copy /Y femalepc01_white.tex .\pc\female
copy /Y femalepcskirt01bmp.tex .\pc\female

archivetool "resources\creatures.arc" -replace "pc\female\femalepc01_white.tex" "resources\"
archivetool "resources\creatures.arc" -replace "pc\female\femalepcskirt01bmp.tex" "resources\"

That is the way to make player textures, too. It was how I made my neon wolves mod. Import the new TGA version of the player texture into the Source directories and auto-create an asset for it. After doing so, build it, exit out of AM after that, and go to the folder that is holding the created file. It should be in this folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\My Documents\My Games\Titan Quest\custommaps\<name of your mod>\resources\maps\

Do whatever you want with the file. Im my case, I usually compile TQM files from the textures I make.
