How to create alternate textures for models?
How does one create alternate textures for models? I figured some openzone fiddling would have to be done to achieve such a thing, so I made the thread here.
Is it even possible to create alternate textures (that is, not overriding the original)? I've already created the texture, and when I exported the model to max, it's an unrigged glob. I tried exporting the .wld file and converting it to .obj, but it keeps saying "nothing to save" when I try to. |
I'm not sure what it is you are trying to do...

I want to make it so my model will have an alternate texture with #texture, basically. |

edit, IE, add a new one entirely |
You have to use S3Dspy and find , then extract the texture you want to change and then once you change it use S3Dspy to add that texture back into the client with the same name in the same place you found it. And no matter how many textures you change only you will be able to see it in game unless you give someone else the file you changed to use in their client.

You are talking about a mob or character model right?
|
you can use it for anything.. mob, character, buildings, items, whatever you desire to change the texture of.
|

Alright, now that I know that's possible, can I do it without overwriting anything?
|
No , you have to change the texture that you extracted and then add it back with the same exact name, when you make a new one you will lose an old one.

Well, that sucks. I wonder then, could I create a new model in the global char file, and just have the model i want with a different texture than default? Perhaps I could replace one of the ugly, WoW-like new global models, if I must replace something.
If I do go this route, there's an issue. When I export the model (spectre), it is unrigged and just a blob. I assume that there is absolutely no way to rip the animations and I'm just screwed. Is this correct y/n |
Ive had no luck with it, I was able to get the models and skeletons for them but no there were no animations extracted with them I had to make up my own animations for them.
And dude, I am sorry but I gotta ask, that little picture by your name.....thats not really you is it? cause it scares the hell outta me!! lol |
