Retexturing a Character

[Celtoi 937]

Now, I'd just gotten started working with textures before I left, and now that I'm back, I can't remember a darned thing. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

I've acquired the TX converter, and converted the tga.tx file to a .tga. I then edited the image (using GIMP) and saved it as a .tga. Now it won't let me convert it back to a .tga.tx. I know I had a way around this, but for the life of me I can't remember what it was. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/pirate3.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="2" border="0" alt="pirate3.gif" /> If anyone can remind me what to do it'd be a wonderful help!

On a side note, its great to be back! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/type_1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":nk" border="0" alt="type_1.gif" /> You guys have done a lot in the time I've been away. Good job! Everything looks great!

Hi,
Do your work then save as bmp.> convert to tx., then convert back to tga... so that TOOL can read it.

So, when saving a changes into a .tga file use File->Save As... option, write file name and press Save button. Then additional dialog should appear with two checkboxes: make sure that option 'RLE Compression' is <b>unchecked</b>. After selecting Save button in that window an uncompressed .tga file will be created, which should be readable for TX Converter.

Oh, I always just saved from GIMP then loaded with another program and saved again to make txconvertor read it, thanks.
