Post subject: | Custom Texture on No4 |
Hi Guys This isnt server side relating but you're the most competant people out there.... I cant seem to get custom texture to show on my map.. Im trying to add a winter camo texture to the No4 rifle. I have extracted No4_r.dds and placed this into a 'customtextures' folder in my extracted map, and ive opened in Photoshop and painted the new textures. I have then saved the .dds file into the 'customtextures' folder (Ive saved as DXT3 and Generate All Mipmaps) I have then added the following line into my init.con textureManager.alternativePath ../../bf1942/levels/<<MAP NAME>>/customtextures However in game it still displays the standard wooden texture for it....any ideas ![]() |

Ive searched through a few posts but i cant seem to pinpoint what im doing wrong...ive done it before...months ago but i cannie remember the exact process This is the first time ive done a weapon re-skin so i dont know if the process is different, the other issue i forgot to mention is when i open the .dds file and select load mip maps when i go to save the .dds file i get a message saying "image width and height must be a multiple of four" |

First locate the texture that the Number 4 is using, edit it to your liking and save it as a .dds Files. Extract your custom map to the desktop. Inside create a new Folder called "Texture" there will already be one called "Textures" dont worry about this one. Cut and Paste your new NO. 4 Texture into the folder "Texture" inside your map you just extracted to the desktop. Then find and open its Init.con. and edit the line where it says "textureManager.alternativePath" it will have text next to it the name of a texture set used by the game something like "Texture/Africa" delete this, and type in a new path thats something like this: ../../bf1942/levels/(YourMap)/Texture then save the Init.con file. Repack your map using WinRFA, and go in game. and VIOLA! youve got custom textures. and yes .dds must be a Multiple of Four most commonly they are squares. 128x128 256x256 512x512, check your size make sure it didnt change. |

Excellent thanks Archimonde ![]() Deleting the standard Texture/Africa line and replacing it with the custom one seemed to do the trick. Before hand i had both lines in the init.con I also managed to get around that photoshop error message thing by selecting Use Existing Mip Maps option when saving...the textures dont look affected at all Mucho Gracias guys |
