WIP Weapon retexture project

[zac]

Hello Everyone and welcome to my mod The Weapon Retexture Project. This mod is going to be aimed at retexturing all the weapons in the game and maybe adding new textures instead of replacing them. I will release a beta for the time being because i think i'm going to redo some of the textures. Upload you'r SS and ideas for textures for fun.

Warning
You must know how to install texture mods before hand as there is no TUT for it. also will need to extract you'r own files "main_streaming_weapons.asm_pc" from the pack file items.vpp_pc

Weapons done currently:
.45 Fletcher Onyx Beta 1
.45 Fletcher Gold Beta 1
.45 Fletcher Default Beta 1
RailPistol Default Beta 1
Chumia Magnum Tiger Beta 1
Dildo bat Glow

Are you rerendering mipmaps if you enabled them?

 

[zac]

you mean when loading the file or when saving?

 

[NopeD]

Saving, even if you load with mipmaps I'd think that saving with the render option checked would over write them. If not, try not rendering them when you load it up or at all.

Well when i save it i do a DXT1 ARGB 4 BPP 1 bit alpha But i don't do a mip map Generation as in the SS

Since I can not upload this to you via PM I'm just going to put it here.
It was the one I played with and did a couple of in game shots of.... (basically I was just playing around to see if it would work).

I did a rough cut and paste from the default gang pistol for the lower frame onto the Onxy's dds file (really bad cut I keep meaning to clean it up).

I then Brightened the lower to get it to look better in game (better contrast with the dark upper).
I then Darkened the Barrel (top and front). Leaving the Slide, clip and everything else original.
And I turned the red front site to a high contrast green.
And ended up putting 2 green dots on the trigger, I thought it was the rear sight.

Like I said in the Private conversation I use Paint.net.
Its free and if you can't get Photoshop to work the way you want it to, then get Paint.net is very small and simple to use.

Anyhow look in the rar that I've attached and you can see the F'd up Onxy that surprisingly looks decent ingame
Both the mod'd str2 and the base dds are in there.

Ok i see what you mean by that im starting to think it might not be working because im not generation mip maps idk ill still be playing with it more

Edit: or i could of been editiong the wrong file you changed the _D and im doing the _S might be why but i dont see how tho its the defuse map

Strange as it sounds the D version is the one people mod for cloths and weapon textures... SR3 was the same way.

dumb question time: what's the container for weapon skins? Is it customize items or something else? Since I've been modding clothes for days I might as well give weaps a try Thank you in advance.
