How to edit embedded textures with CodeWalker?
-
Is it possible to edit embedded textures of yft with CodeWalker RPF explorer?
I'm trying to change the mug to Starbucks in prop_table_01.yft . I have made the texture but can't drag it to CodeWalker Texture viewer and "New YTD" button is greyed out

@Aurora11 import and export XML. Currently doing the same with cars liveries.

@InfiniteQuestion How can I import a dds file into an xml though
-
@Aurora11 click on the yft file, it will export a yft file plus a folder of images, Replace the image, then import back into codewalker. Verify the file is indeed copied over by dragging it to a folder and then dragging it into openIV. Sometimes codewalker will import a xml file but it gets corrupted and can't be seen inside openiv. (codewalker bug or something im doing wrong, no one cares on the discord server)

@InfiniteQuestion Oh. Thank you so much fren
))))

@InfiniteQuestion So I did that. It works fine in both CodeWalker and game but the textures look distorted in OpenIV. I don't know why really but oh well, at least it's working in game lol
-
@Aurora11 Distorted as in how? Low resolution blurry image, or the prop isn't loading the texture right? Didn't try higher resolutions but default size looks right, just blurry.
-
@InfiniteQuestion Ok that's really strange but it looks fine now... I guess I needed to restart OpenIV.
Though to explain you how was it looking, mug's texture was also went inside the those 2 salt shakers and the top of the mug was looking like a broken old tv that shows vertical colored thin lines. When I was looked at the embedded textures from OpenIV the textures in the dds was scrambled, like all over the place and the top of the texture was showing those lines at horizontal. Now it all seems fine though.

@Aurora11 Lol Good to know its working. I ended up crashing my car into a coffee shop and completely forgot about the retexture I did earlier. You must REALLY like starbucks
-
@InfiniteQuestion Hahaha :DD Yup
White Chocolate Mocha is at it's finest

@InfiniteQuestion Yeah I can confrim that you need to restart OpenIV after that process. I just edited the police.yft , this time textures looked normal but it didn't update in OpenIV. When I restarted it looked the current new one.
Also thanks to you, I finaly got rid of the "This vehicle is official" nonsense card from BxBugs' LAPD Crown Vic and changed his ugly witch red car freshner to natural green beautifully looking and beautifully smelling car freshner
