GothicZTEX 2.6
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
What for...
|
|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
|
|
This tool is intended to convert the compressed
|
|
textures of the Gothic II Add-On (v2.6) back to
|
|
TGA files (including directories).
|
|
|
|
Preparation
|
|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
|
|
At first expand the following VDFS volumes to
|
|
your harddrive (if not already done):
|
|
[g2addon]\Data\Textures.vdf
|
|
[g2addon]\Data\Textures_Addon.vdf
|
|
|
|
note: you may use GothicVDFS for this task.
|
|
|
|
Usage
|
|
¯¯¯¯¯
|
|
Select the path ([g2addon]\_work\data\Textures)
|
|
and press the "Convert" button.

Comments

|
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
|
|
In the Add-On the Loading.tga + StartScreen.tga
|
|
are now placed in [textures]/Desktop/nomip_16bit.
|
|
You should disable (rename to .tga.bak) the old
|
|
versions in [textures]/Desktop/nomip because it
|
|
is not allowed to have files with identical names
|
|
in the texture folder (and subfolders).
|
|
|
|
You'll never (mostly) get the original image
|
|
back because of the DXTC/S3TC compression.
|
|
|
|
The images are not scaled to its original size.
|
|
However, this is not a big problem (only few).
