Iceberg modding problem "help needed".
 

I have re-textured all icebergs to be compatible with GWX 2.0. I have a major problem which is holding up the delivery process to you.

When I try to repackage the files back to DAT format I using the "DatTexExtract" Application I get an error as follows;

"Import failed: wrong colour depth [32 bits]".

I have reduced the colour depth down to 16 bits and even went 2 bits, having change it to grey scale and copied and paste into selection etc etc.

I am at a loss as I have re textured many things since I became a modder and for some reason this is causing me to head butt the wall many times :damn:

You never mentioned you tried 24 bits, have you tried that yet?

Yea sorry that one to....:doh::shifty:

I had errors like that when I was using a skin packer, it usually meant that the the image had to be that color depth. Have you tried putting it in as 32 bits?

Yes I have matey, I've tried all the varing bits 2,16, 24, 32, grey scale, black and white etc

Just worked for me.:smug:

Ven, what did you do? Create a brand new TGA or edit the extracted version?

The image must be 1024 x 512, 16 bit and RGB 8.

Also, take note, the file name has a odd space in it - iceberg3 .tga

I've been sitting here all day :dead: waiting; its killing me :damn:

Can I please send the TGA to you to have a look at and see if you can get it into the DAT format ?

I think I need the big guns for this mod to work :oops:

Sure. EDIT - Read you post backwards, lol still early here.

Send it mate.:up:

You are my hero
 

You are my hero :rock:

Its zipped WinRAR with all the iceberg folders ready to go straight from the game file structure and the evil TGA is in the folder called new TGA, its only about 3 meg

here it comes via PM.

All done and PM'd.

It's a case of..........DoH!:damn: :damn:

No worries mate, glad to help.

:shifty: Who evented the Alpha Channel ?

:shifty: Who is responsible

This thread is now done with Danlisa pointing out my blunder in not noticing that the Alpha Channel was the cause.

Danlisa thank you mate; now I've got forward progress :up: :rock:
