[Tutorial] Saving Modded files / Alpha Channel Info

Hi people,

This tutorial is about how to save your modded files correctley after Editing them in Photoshop, and you will learn a bit on how to use alpha layers.
Use this saving method to prevent the 'image file corrupt' error.

How to save your modded files correctley
If the file size of dds is same as iwi file like in this picture,
you do not need mipmaps, but do u save it in D-XT 1 or D-XT 5?
Thats what we are going to learn you now.

Saving in D-XT5 or D-XT1
If your modded file uses an Alpha channel, you need to save it as D-XT5
(see screenshot)

When it does not uses Alpha Channel, you save it as D-XT1
(see screenshot)

If you saved the file in D-XT1, but the file size of the dds (the modded file),
and the .iwi (the original file),
is not the same, you made an mistake while saving.
To fix that, save the file as D-XT5.
Also when you save a file in D-XT5, and the filesize isnt correct, save it in D-XT1(other way around

)

When you convert you modded dds file back to an .iwi file,
and the filesize is diffrent, you need to use mipmaps.

For instance, if the file uses alpha, and the dds file is not same size as the iwi file when u converted(see screenshot), save it as;
D-XT5 + mipmaps

If the file does not uses alpha, save it as;
D-XT1 + mipmaps

I hope i explained myself correctley to you. If not, feel free to ask questions

About Alpha Layers
Now you learned how to save a file correctley,
you need to know what Alpha Layers are.
soo now that u know how to save files u must learn what is alpha

Alpha on Scopes
Alpha on scopes makes the scope for one part visible and an other part invisible.

If the alpha is fully black, the scope will be fully 'invisible' (in other words, you cant look trought the scope, everything is just black).

If some part of alpha is white, that part will be fully 'visible' (the part where you can look trought)

So if you are making scopes, just copy whole image of scope and paste it on alpha,
and use the color replace tool to make the grey lines into full white

now why do u need full white?;
If it is white, it will be visible,
but if it is grey ,it will be tranparent, but still visible.

The darker the color, the more invisible will it be.
The lighter (whiter) the color, the more visible it will be.

Take a look at the crusifix and crossfire scopes for example (texture hack v1.6).
Those are created by using alpha.

I hope you have a better understanding now what alpha layes (can) do.
Again, when you have any questions, feel free to ask them

ill try ONE more time, if it fails again, im just to rage uninstall everything

just says cant load img file blablabla, over and over.

how come i cant even take a modded scope, rename it, fix crc32 to wanted scope, and it not work?
spent an hour and a half remaking a scope for the thermal, just get get an error in game, did everything as said.

we need to know the exact steps you took to help you

:O.... lmao xD

hahahahah lmao!!!......woot!

need to make texture hacks are IN this "TOOLS".rar,

no im not mad..your just blind.

I'm sorry but the tutorial told me to download convertors.rar and I was just trying to follow the tutorial exactly because I have the tendency to fall out of order and get really mixed up.... dyslexia ADD and a sleeping disorder. I'm not too great at following directions

I'm not an idiot, I'm just new at this, I have never done any type of texture modding. Sorry if I have questions D:

insted of converters.rar download tools.rar and u ll find 2 folders iwi x dds and dd2iwi in that archive, so make one folder, name it Converters, and put files from those 2 folders in Converters folder and make an rar from it 0.o

The .dds plugin for photoshop doesn't seem to work for me :/
After installing it, I still can't open the .dds files.
I get this error when opening them: Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document.
I'm using CS4 Extended 64-bit. No, I did not pay for it
