Repack tga file in Gwx Dat ???

Pascal · 04-19-08, 01:00 PM

Strange thing, trying repack my own tga file inside Gwx Dat, impossible to refund the same value using Photoshop ?!

By example, Typ 2B_Hull = 2 464 Ko and mine, save in 24 bit compressed RLE = 2 635 bit

Where is the trap ?

Why are you saving with compressed RLE?

That's only for files with Alpha Channels.

yes, you right, i dont know i write this, never use this method.
but with sh3 original dat, no problem: i repack all tga i wish in 24 or 32 bit

No one to give a suggestion to resolve my little problem ? I'm half surprised; all forum's users are gentlemen, but there are exceptions.

PM me a link to your tga and I'll look into it.

Sorry Pascal, RL got in the way.

If your TGA is the same dimensions as the original i.e 1024x1024, then there is additional info, maybe an alpha channel, which is increasing the file size.

As with Privateer, PM me the TGA or PSD file and I'll take a look.
