Did you have to embed the tex file into the dat (that's the only way I could get it to show) or did you find another way?

Like you I could only get it to show if I put the textures into the dat. I think the biggest problem is the controller that sh4 used to add the bump and occlusion maps isn't compatible with sh5. So it seems like we're kinda stuck since sh5 has all that stuff in the granny file and doesn't use a controller for it.

We may have to turn our powers over to making textures that give the appearance of occlusion/bump.

Thanks for the reply wamphyri.

I was beginning to think I had missed something obvious.

I dunno where to start with this really. But I'll have a go and see what I can come up with.

I did a search in Google and found and article about an old Ubi game (Catz and Dogz):
"The textures files are in the Textures/ folder in plain dds format."

Are textures in .dat TGA files? Try convert .TGA to .DDS.

no no .. that's not the problem. In sh4 the textures can be changed just by changing a txt file to point you at a different texture to use. But sh5 doesn't support this it seems so we have to put the textures directly into the .dat, either .tga or .dds, their both supported.

Thanks for the answer. I´ll keep searching.

Hey thanks for trying coronas

Keep looking, you might find something we have overlooked.

It'd be so nice if we could get out paws on granny .. but a license for it is a nice even $10k. A little out of my reach
