missing files in GWX

[shegeek72]

I did typical multi-install: Installed SHIII fresh, updated to 1.4b, copied files to another folder, installed GWX, ran multiSH3, then moved my old career files to My Docs\GWX.

GWX runs fine. However, I was going to install a custom sub skin then discovered there are no files in the GreyWolves\data\Textures\Tnormal\tex or in GreyWolves\data\Textures\TLowRes\tex folders. Is this normal?

Dont worry. The textures were packed back to the .Dat files, to speed up the game. You can still install skins etc. to the texture folder, they will work. :up:

Hi Dowly If I may a quick dumb ? I d\l all of Fubars, danlisa's, Seth's and
many others [ sorry don't remember names ] skins and only fubars ice
skin said it was GWX ready. I would like to install certain other skins on
certain subs. I'm a "Death before Dishoner" GWX player so any help
would be appreciated. As always I do rollback in port. Thx in advance.

these packed textures are more detailed and heavy than stock textures or are the same size ?? :hmm:

Any custom skins which are textures (TGA) only will work with GWX.

Any custom skins which are packed into DAT files will not work with GWX.

FYI - The skins in GWX have been resized to 1024x1024 from 2048x2048, this was done to improve performance.

Note - When I say 'will not' work with GWX, I mean that you will loose the fixes (cable, compass etc) it is also possible that if zon or sim files have been included in the DAT files then this would also cause problems. For now just stick to using texture versions.

Edit - @ Firewall

Look here for my IXB/IXC GWX Ready Skins.
