[SOLVED] Textures going C-R-A-Z-Y!!!

[hellmade]

hmmm... sorry, but I don't really have good news.

Except those ati2-ones, I#ve now managed to get every graphic to dxt5 but it seems to make no difference.
I changed from ImageMagick to nconvert for the conversion but same result.

I'm running out of options here.
Either there is something else wrong with the gfx, other than the compression method
Or it is something very different

Scul, you sayed that you where talking to the scs-people and they knew what would be wrong.
So, can you give a more precise description what to look for or how to fix a single broken file? Are there special color-maps or dimentions not working? Is this "end-marker" somwhere inside the file not beeing part of the dds-format?

[ScuL]

Well I'm starting to suspect that the problem may not be within the textures themselves (although it's good the broken ones are fixed), but possibly in the TOBJ files that point to the textures, and maybe include a space or character that then "trips" the 3D engine.

To analyse all TOBJ files will take me some more time

hi Scul,

I had the same suspicion and tried to work out a test.
So I went to "pink world" by deleting every dds-file in the mod and starting it.

As you can see. At least the map is still broken since there is anything on these roads but not a a workshop. Even the white squares appear and red and pink roads didn't appear at first.

Can SCS help with that? In the end there is one example needed. It's not that a big deal to scan all the tobj-textfiles if I know what to look for.

As far as I know the correct TOBJ format for ETS2 works as following:

Header:
01 0A B1 70 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 02 00 03 03 03 00 02 02 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 2A 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
where 2A equals the length of the path to the file following;
in this case:
/model/sign/traffic/traffic_signs_se_2.dds
is 42 characters long which equals 2A in hex.

So the total file then becomes:
01 0A B1 70 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 02 00 03 03 03 00 02 02 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 2A 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 2F 6D 6F 64 65 6C 2F 73 69 67 6E 2F 74 72 61 66 66 69 63 2F 74 72 61 66 66 69 63 5F 73 69 67 6E 73 5F 73 65 5F 32 2E 64 64 73


The older TOBJ format can have a different header:
01 0A B1 70 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 02 00 03 03 03 00 02 02 00 00 00 00 00 88 39 00 28 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
(here 28 is the length)

The main difference here are the bits with 88 39. So basically if you can identify TOBJ files that have faulty headers you could track them down..

Right... So I flipped 88 39 to 01 00 in all files and updated my archive with good versions of dds and tobj files and presto:

Started a trip from Denmark to Sweden and haven't seen a broken texture in 10 minutes of gameplay

Made my day

Although noticed a weird rendering glitch:

Not sure if related.

[MandelSoft]

That last bug is not related. I've seen this too in the Windows version with Direct X.

Excellent work on tracking the texture bug

[LA-MJ]

All is not perfect though.

After a while this happened:



Not sure if intended:


Although compared to the original issue this is nothing.
