How To: Retexture Existing Models

This is a tutorial made for those of you who want to create a new texture for models already made in Amnesia, not for models you are creating. If you have any questions, drop it in the thread here and I'll get back you you when I can! Please play in HD and a larger view to see text!


Requirements:
- Amnesia tool suite
- Photoshop or Gimp 2.0 (either require .dds plugin)
- Notepad or Notepad++

RE: How To: Retexture Existing Models

Hey i am having a massive problem with what I am trying to do and would really really appreciate your assistance. I am trying to retexture a grunt, nothing dramatic, just a slight color tone change. This small thing has turned very difficult and im having trouble getting an answer from someone that makes sense. Can you check out my thread 'trying to learn how to edit a model' under Custom Stories, TCs & Mods - Development / Development Support and see if you can shed light on this situation and tell me what im doing wrong? Keep in mind while i do have programming background i only have moderate background in java and so i may have trouble understanding extremely technical answers.

RE: How To: Retexture Existing Models

I wanted to make a door with another texture.
1. Copy .dae, .ent, .msh files of the door (mansion) and paste it to the custom story folder.
2. Copy the three .dds files (_nrm, _spec) and paste it to the same folder. Name the three .dds the same as the others (.dae, .ent, .msh) with _ nrm and _spec.
3. Open the .dae file and inscribe the right .dds names in library_images.
4. Open model_viewer and open .dae door, .mat is created.
5. Open model_editor and open the door entity.
6. Choose the material for the door that I created.
7. Import mesh, the .dae file - crash.

Here is the library_image part of the .dae file:
PHP Code: (Select All)
<library_images>
    <
image id="mansion_dds">
      <
init_from>old_mansion.dds</init_from>
    </
image>
    <
image id="mansion_nrm_dds">
      <
init_from>old_mansion_nrm.dds</init_from>
    </
image>
    <
image id="mansion_spec_dds">
      <
init_from>old_mansion_spec.dds</init_from>
    </
image>
  </
library_images
