Hi,

I tested your program but I have a problem:

I tried to put the texture of the rear lights of the Alfa 8C from FM4 with the conversion from .2DB to .DDS I haven't any problem and I can edit the texture and also with the conversion from .DDS to .2DB I haven't problem, after I repack the file .bnk and launch the game,

but in game the texture appear so:

[keyser92]

hey

I will like to test this tool plz:D

[Knyazev]

reventon09

Thank you for a report about bug! :)

 

I use old TDUMT libraries (from TDUMT 1.14).

I will try to do it, that you did, but with new TDUMT lbraries (from TDUMT 1.61) :)

 

1:34 AM (GMT+2)

I have the same problem :(

 

I converted some 2db files using TDUMT 1.16.1 libraries and TDUMT 1.61 program, and I have the same problem with textures... :/

 

I was saving edited DDS files in DXT1 (no Alpha) and DXT1 (1 bit Alpha) - same problem( // I'm not modder

 

Please, use TDUMT 1.61 and report me about results.

Maybe I wrong use a convertion functions. *SCRATCH*

 

Maybe I need to consider these options?

I must use them?

 

What fields are required?

[Reventón09]

Now I used TDUMT 1.61 and the texture are ok

[Knyazev]

Oh, Thanks for the report! :)

 

Which fields in the TDUMT 1.6.1 options you used? Screenshot above.)

[Reventón09]

I used this fields for convert the texture:

 

-- OLD IMAGE REMOVED (imageshack) --

[Knyazev]

Oh, Thanks! :)

 

I knew that it field (Keep original file header) must be used. :)

 

Original file header: it's original 2db file from not edited (original) *.bnk file, right?

 

After of rest I will solve this problem :)

[Reventón09]

Original file header: it's original 2db file from not edited (original) *.bnk file, right?

 

 

Yes

 

Good luck with this program :)

[Knyazev]

Thanks again! :)

 

Failed start the first beta-testing... :\ I'm so sorry.

 

I was very tired of programming and in the first beta version of my app I made ​​a serious error... ( Sorry...

 

To solve this problem, I need some time...

A lot of work with "DDS -> 2DB conversion"...

I forgot about fields in options of TDUMT 1.61 - DDS->2DB window. They "play" a very important role in DDS->2DB conversion.

 

I also must to think about: how to implement it all in my app, in the next beta... :)

 

 

Beta-testing closed now!

[Djey]

Hi

this is how to use the DDSTo2DB methods - should solve your prob

 

This one is by 'keep original header'

DDSTo2DB(string original2DBFile, string sourceDDSFile, string target2DBFile, string newTextureName, int mipmapCount)

- original2DBFile : unmodified 2DB file

- sourceDDSFile

- target2DBFile

- newTextureName : null

- mipmapCount : GraphicsConverters.KEEP_ORIGINAL_MIPMAP_COUNT

 

This one generates a new header but I haven't had the time to debug it:

DDSTo2DB(string sourceDDSFile, string target2DBFile, string newTextureName, int mipmapCount)

- sourceDDSFile

- target2DBFile

- newTextureName : null

- mipmapCount : GraphicsConverters.KEEP_ORIGINAL_MIPMAP_COUNT.

 

good luck !

[Knyazev]

Thanks you :)

But I'm using these functions now.

 

Must be the same header in original 2DB file and in edited 2DB file? Right? It's will be work in game?

Game be understand a new (edited) header in 2DB file?

I'm not modder, I don't know how must be.

[Djey]

Yes, headers must be the same (because you won't have to change mipmap count and texture name - those are advanced parameters only).

 

A 'new' header means you don't need the old header from original 2DB file, only need the DDS information to generate a new one.

(DDS -> 2DB is rather easy to convert, 2DB -> DDS back is harder need more information, thus can't work in all cases :( ...)

 

 

So :

- to have 100% success, use the 1st method

- the 2nd method has to be fixed still to work in all cases, sorry about that.

[Knyazev]

Thanks! :)

I use only 1st method "keep original header".

- Single file conversion: DDS->2DB: done

 

Now I think how to implement the first method in "Multiple file conversion" :)

I do it:

User must select the folder with original 2DB files. The converted files (*.DDS) must have the same names with original files 2dB, but without file extension.

Tool will be check names of all selected DDS files, with names of original 2DB files, without extension.

Names of original 2DB files (full paths) can be stored in temporary list, and will be used in conversion proccess DDS->2DB, after convertion - this list will be cleaned.

 

And I will try to sew your libraries in my exe file :) Can I do it? (ILMerge helps me)

On output I will have a one exe file :)

 

:)

 

Coming soon... beta 2.

[Djey]

And I will try to sew your libraries in my exe file :) Can I do it? (ILMerge helps me)

On output I will have a one exe file :)

Sure, but you'll have to include this in the readme file for public release :

 

included third-part libraries :

- Fesersoft.Hashing.Crc32 by Fesersoft,Inc : Fesersoft - .Net

- DjeFramework-1 and TduModdingLibrary-1 by Djey : TOOLS

 

 

(Fesersoft already merged in DjeFramework-1)

 

that's all !

[Knyazev]

Well :)

 

Public release will be not soon :)

maybe after beta-testing #2, maybe after beta-testing #3, I don't know. :)

 

Soon I'll start the beta-testing #2 of 2DB->DDS->2DB Converter :)

[Knyazev]

Now it's time for beta-testing #2 ;-)

I sent a PM for the first beta-testers with link to new version of my tool with instructions :)

 

Now, tool used "new" method of conversion 2DB files to DDS (with "keep original header" option)

Thanks to reventon09 and Djey for the big help :)

 

Comparing in HEX-editor:

In game: (other car)

* damaged brakelight texture :D

[Djey]

sooooooo good, mate :D

[Reventón09]

Hi mate,

When I select a file .2DB the program don't convert it but replace my original texture .2DB

Here a pic:

 

-- OLD IMAGE REMOVED (imageshack) --

 

Have you some idea?

[Knyazev]

Thanks. :)

 

Problem with extension.

At you .2DB (Upper)

Try ".2db" (Lower) extension, and will be work)

 

Fixed! (see your PM)

[Reventón09]

I downloaded your last version but now there is another problem

I edited the texture of the lights but:

I used TDUMT II for unpack and repack the file

[Knyazev]

Problem with repacking the *.bnk file, but not in the tool.

 

Try to repack f430_scuderia.bnk, without converting/editing 2DB files, and you will see a result, how at your screens above. (I checked it!)

 

Original file here: f430_scuderia.rar

 

Original BNK file:

 

Repacked BNK file:

(Without texture editing. Only repacking!)

[Reventón09]

Yes Knyazev you have right

Now I tried to edit a texture of the 458 Italia and work :)

Now I go test the multiple conversion of the file .2DB and .DDS I'll tell you the result

[Knyazev]

Big thanks for active beta-testing! :)

 

Oh, now I fixed some problems with multiple converting. Please, re-download tool :) (same link to download)

(Updated 19 October, 2011 - 22:54 PM GMT+2)

 

Sorry.

[Reventón09]

I tested the conversion of the multiple files and work fine

I haven't found any problem :p
