Editing stock textures

[<LT>YosemiteSam[NL]]

Hey guys,

Again a question, how do I edit stock textures. I want a texture to be another color and want to do that in Photoshop. How do I go about that ?

Oke, quite easy

1. Find the texture, it is located in one of the IWD's and it is called name.iwi
2. Google for a iwi2dds converter, convert it and change it
3. Use a tutorial on modsonline to make your dds back to a iwi (its called something like, making your own custom texture)
4. Done

And just get the name of the texture out of radiant of course

thx. I just downed the converter but one problem.
The texture I want to edit shows in Radiant but I can't find the iwi file with pakscape. Searched every iwi file but no luck.
I found the Materials file but that's it. Very strange I guess.

Sometimes the name is changed and has some things before it like mtl_....... Wich one is it? I will have a look.

Isn't mtl_ used by a clan for their custom maps? (mtl_bremen comes to mind). If so, then I doubt that'll be a stock texture and you'd probably have to get their permission to use/edit it.

i've used mtl textures that were on stock maps before. It must mean something else...

This is the one I'm searching for :

Code: Select all

duhoc_concrete_stripe2

I've looked in every iwi file but can't find it.

[All-Killer]

Think i found it, it has a different name as i already told you. Its in iw_08 and its called concrete_stripe02.

Here a link to the iwi1dds converter if you hadnt got it already: http://www.diegologic.net/CoD/IwiToDds.zip

Good luck

aha, thx m8. much apreciated !!
Can't believe I didn't find it myself But then again i thought it would have the same name as the texture in radiant.

[All-Killer]

Hahaha, no problem.

true but not what he meant.

There are MTL textures used on every map. I believe they are "global" textures used for all different purposes...
