Texture Edit?

[michael2mandy]

Are we able to edit the textures to the game yet?

Not entirely,some files are not editable for there no tools with which to edit them.

i see some are using TexMod, I cannot get it to work yet help me out lol

-Go to your Saints Row steam folder.Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/saintsrowthethird
-Rename SaintsRowTheThird.exe to SaintsRowTheThirdSTART.exe
-Rename Texmod.exe to SaintsRowTheThird.exe
-Launch the game via Steam, it should execute Texmod instead of the game.
-Click on the folder icon below "Target Application" then select your SaintsRowTheThirdSTART.exe.
-select logging mode tab and choose your output texture format,i use dds, and folder.
-Click run and in top left of the screen you'll see the keys for filtering,etc.

How to use texmod: http://www.gamebanana.com/gb/tuts/8899

You can grab graphics with texmod but texmod only works with dx9 and it causes,in my experience,SR3 to become unstable.

I already know how to use this tool, have used with ME2 but for some reason I cannot get it work with this game SR3. Someone on here has a tutorial but he is renaming the "game".exe and such but was looking for an easier way instead of renaming game files and such. http://www.saintsrowmods.com/forum/index.php?threads/hd-textures-pack-mod.268/

The only way you could have used texmod on ME2 without renaming the executable would be because steam wasn't present.
Renaming the files is the only way to get texmod to work with steam.

I haven't written the re-packer yet but I have written a little command line tool to unpack textures. The thread is here.
