EDIT AGAIN: Opening my dats and picking the DTX option on export is having NO effect... do I need to start completely over? *sigh*
EDIT:So yeah... I'm blind and/or illiterate. It's on the freaking export tab :'(
I've only ever done reskins before... moved vertices in Meta, etc & have never used VRS before.
Okay, so originally, I slapped together a mesh in VRS, added some bits to it, and exported/saved it in my WIP directory (works in progress). Then I backed up my original & overwrote my no EQ file so I could load it in Model Viewer - what a mess... the textures were screwed up & there were random bits of transparency. My meshes themselves were fine. Animation was good, etc. with some clipping issues, and I wanted to reskin it before fixing that (gives me a better idea of overall look before and after moving vertices, you know?). But my textures are FUBAR.
I exported it from ModelViewer, opened all the textures in PhotoshopCS, and flood-filled them with annoyingly bright colours - bright blue, red, neon green, and pink. GC3'd them, and reloaded the dat... no change.
I started over from VRS, tried again... no change.
I slept. I woke up.
I Googled. A lot. I found posts about the VRS exporting textures data size mismatch ("A-ha!" I thought), so I opened the file in ChangeTex. For data size, it said "----", so I hex edited it to the proper values, patted myself on the back, saved it as a copy, and... no change.
While staring morosely at the screen, I noticed something I hadn't before... for type, ChangeTex lists "Pallette Color" instead of "DTX3". I pick a texture, bring up the browse window for exporting it, look at the filetype... it's a BMP.
I'm confused. I find a dat mod that's an NPC > PC port (ie. done in VRS). I open it in ChangeTex - Type? "DTX3".
I use ChangeTex to export one of the offending BMPs, GC3 it, and attempt to insert it back in ChangeTex. It errors "Error : Unknown Type, big red X, garbed acryllic text, ok" followed by "Success, location of the file I tried to import, ok"... no change. As in, didn't change to "DTX3"... no change.
I check every other dat in the set... all the same. All showing "Pallette Color" w/BMPs instead of "DTX3" w/DDSs...
I've missed something?
