.psd to .tex?

[SkarsniK22]

Using the Texture Viewer I have exported a texture as a .psd file & edited it.
But I have no idea how to convert it back...
Can anyone help?

I have a batch file that consists of one line:

texturecompiler "target.psd" "target.tex" -format tex

This sits in the C:\Program Files\THQ\Titan Quest Immortal Throne and C:\Program Files\THQ\Titan Quest directories.

Just name your .psd file "target.psd", put it in the directory with the batch file, run the batch file, then rename "target.tex" to its real name.

You can add a line in the .bat to make it pause so you can read any error message:

texturecompiler "target.psd" "target.tex" -format tex
pause

If you copied from my first post, make sure there's no html code that got copied; make sure about the spacing, etc.

Your .psd must be named:

target.psd

... and it must be in the same folder with the .bat and texturecompiler.exe. Those are the obvious possible glitches. Another possibility is that your .psd file is not saved with the right options. I normally use the .tga format instead because my paint program barely supports .psd. The .tga lets me set options - 24 bits, uncompressed - and forces layers/selections to be merged so you get one layer and one alpha.

If you want to try that, save your picture as target.tga and change the .bat to say:

texturecompiler "target.tga" "target.tex" -format tex
pause

[Edit] One other thing - even when it works right, all you get with the original (no pause) .bat is a quick flash. Check your directory and see if there's not a new target.tex file in there.

I'm really confused....
(1) How do I make a batch file
(2)I dont think I'm confused after No.1...

Right-click on your desktop and choose new/text document.
Type in your command lines just as they appear above.
Save the file.
Change its name from "new text document.txt" to "whateveryouwant.bat"
Move it from the desktop to the TQ program directory.

I changed the name from newtextdocument.txt to something.bat
still nothing; target.psd is in the titan quest directory along with something.bat(which still says it is a txt doc even thought the name is changed)

That's strange, but someone else had a similar problem. I think your operating system is not setup to allow you to create executables.

Download this and try it (just click the Free button and choose Save).

Put it in the C:\Program Files\THQ\Titan Quest directory along with your .psd and doubleclick it.

(I've been assuming all this time that you have Windows. If you have Vista or something else, then I'm in unknown territory).

I have Windows XP

I had a problem using batch programming to convert psd to tex. Though I had to take untraditional methods to resolve it.
The problem was MS-DOS didn't recognize the path to the textureconverter.exe. So I had to guide it to the right path before setting converting my texture to tex.

f:
cd games
cd Titan Quest Immortal Throne
TextureConverter.exe "c:\maleskin.psd" "c:\maleskin.tex" -format dxt3
pause

Then it worked.
