Title: Asset Manager not converting textures right.
Post by: Freakguy22 on November 19, 2017, 08:52:56 pm
Hello, everyone! Sorry if my first post isn't anything really good.

Anyhow, I've been learning how to make textures for my first custom map, and things aren't working right. It says "conversion successful", but nothing is converted.

Here's how I was told from a video tutorial on how to install custom textures:

-Make the images you want in DDS, by the power of two (512, 1024, whatever. Like a VTF)

-Install the DDS in in "Call of Duty World At War\raw\images\Custom\texturename.dds"

-Then run asset manager, and save a .gdt in " "Call of Duty World At War\sourcedata\foldername\nameofgdt.gdt"

-Insert a new entry in materials, and name the material after the colormap .dds. Set everything right, then run it. I also added a normal and spec map, but I don't think those are of issue.

Here's how I have the textures set up. The .gdt only has this material. It's a texture that's meant to tile horizontally.

And this is how it looks in asset manager.

And when I press F10 to convert it, nothing happens.

If there's any reason why this happens, it'd be a huge help!

Convert your normal map image to a .tga file. Afaik everything but your col-map should be a .tga. If that doesn't work delete the material and try it again

I already found out the issue a bit ago. And yeah, it was a mix of file-types, and where I had the .gdt placed.

Possibly the GDT isn't in source_data. That happens to me whenever I don't put the GDT in source_data.

If your gdt's are not in source_data, the converter usually says it's successful but  it doesn't convert the assets. If you see the name of the images before you see the conversion successful message, then it means it actually converts them but if it only says conversion successful without giving any information about the asset, then it means your gdt is probably in the wrong folder.

This one might work.... if you tryed everything here and unsuccessful, then delete all of your converted files because A.
your texture shows in your radient mfc application perfectly, and b shows color maps like white/gray or similar during actual game play.
and by delete i mean go to your .gdt file and search it up, by that i mean delete every file that the customtexture.gdt file names because those dont seem to work properly and probably not even going to work and use space, then open your radeint and see if your custom textures are show as deleted (all of them). Then run a new texture as tga set your custom things and cunvert it. AFTER conversion go to the iwi file your customtexture.iwi and copy every one of them to your nazizombiefolder located in your mods folder and find the images folder, include it in your image and compile your level.
