I don't think that it is really important to pack your .tga's back into the .dat files. The only reason you would want to do that is if you are skinning the type XXI. Just simply put the .tga file into slilenthunterIII\data\textures\tnormal\tex and the skin will show up and work fine.

Edit: Hehe, read the next post and you'll think "deja vu"

Silly question, but why are you trying to pack it??

All you need to do is save the file as a TGA, and then put it into your

SilentHunterIII\Data\textures\tnormal\tex\

folder, and it will show up..

EDIT: hehehe we must have saved at exactly the same time marhkimov :rotfl: :rotfl:

Depends on if the boat you are commanding is the same "type" that you repainted

I had that problem, there is a better tool for unpacking/repacking TGA's from dat files. Timetraveller's tools are great, but his unpacker can only pack TGA's back in if NOTHING has changed, (for example file size or anything changes, you can't put it back).

You need the Pak file extractor for Chessmaster tile sets, it's apparently the tool they used making this game, from what I gather.

You can find a link to DatTexExtract, the program I mentioned, in this thread at the Ubi forums, you'll find it near the bottom of the first page of this thread:

The tool is awesome, using it I've reskinned my XXI, and am in the process of fine tuning a few skins for it. (Military colors, deck gray/dark gray bottom is my current favorite).

Good luck!
