Problem with .tobj file

[michael1302]

I tried to load my own .dds file in blender, it keeps saying
"Texture can't be displayed as TOBJ file: '//material/some/thing.tobj' is referencing non existing texture file."

My own texture file DOES exist, so I checked my tobj file, was perfect.

But maybe I made mistake, so I made tobj path simple "/material/something.tobj
Still error.

I can't find any problem with my process.


Default scs texture files, tobj works perfectly.
But not mine.

Blender requires image files with the extension .tga. Blender does not understand .dds files.

But default scs textures use .dds file. and also many mod does.
How should I understand

But in Blender you have to use .tga, .png and so on. So convert .dds to a format which works in Blender.

Using tga file, still SCS Blender Tools saying same error.
I don't think my tobj file is wrong

path wrote on tobj file:
/material/something.tga

something.tga path:
D:/testmod/material/something.tga

tobj path:
D:/testmod/material/something.tobj

Anything wrong?

How did you generated those .tobj file ?

In my case (workflow) i first generate the .tga file with Graphic Program of my choice (mostly Photoshop). Then load this .tga as a texture for SCS-Material (first installed SCS-Blender Tools for that).
After work in Blender is done i'll export the stuff as SCS-Middleware-Format..... Those middleware stuff will be further converted into binary format the game itself can use. For that i use "Conversion Helper" Tool also provided by SCS. https://modding.scssoft.com/wiki/Docume ... ion_Helper

I generate tobj file with program called tobjEdit.
I just have a problem with importing texture files.

Added in 9 hours 14 minutes 44 seconds:
Finally, I solved the problem.
My mistake was, I learned SCS Blender Tools without tutorial, just importing default scs files and do the same which it was displayed.

I had to import .tga file directly, not importing .tobj file.
