WARNING: You use this program at your own risk!
|
|
1) If the program crash, you won't get probably any support from the game developer,
|
|
but you can report the bug under http://code.google.com/p/texmod/issues/list
|
|
2) Games can detected if they are modified, so you might risk a ban
|
|
of your online account!
|
|
3) This is an open-source project. The code can be retrieved, modified and compiled
|
|
by everyone. Download OpenTexMod only from sources you trust!
|
|
Download it by your self and don't use versions, send to you by team or guild members!

OpenTexMod uses the D3DX9_43.dll (32bit). Due to the EULA this dll cannot be delivered together with OpenTexMod .
|
|
If D3DX9_43.dll is not installed on your system, OpenTexMod will give you a hint at program start.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What can OpenTexMod beta V1.0?
|
|
|
|
-extract and save single textures from a DX9 game (the target texture can be toggled in the game)
|
|
-extract and save all textures from a DX9 game
|
|
-load textures into a game to replace target textures
|
|
-support single dds texture
|
|
-support zip-files as whole mod package
|
|
-support the original TexMod *.tpf files
|
|
|
|
All these options can be switched on or off, while the game is already running!
|
|
So you can search for a texture in the game, save it to disk, edit it,
|
|
load it into the game, edit it again and load it into the game again, ...,
|
|
actiavate or deactivate mods and all without a restart of the game.
|
|
|
|
side note: If "save all textures" is switched on, the texture will only be saved, if
|
|
the textures are loaded by the game and only in the moment they are loaded.
|
|
If you switch this option on, while a map is loaded, probably nothing will hapen,
|
|
because all textures are loaded for this map. Change the Map or reload it again.
|
|
|
|
Zip files can include a "texmod.def" file which contains the hash and the file name.
|
|
Each line should be in the format "hash|filename.dds"
|
|
If it does not contain a "texmod.def" each file will be unpacked and those which match
|
|
the wildcard "*_hash.dds" will be used.
|
|
The zip file can include a "Comment.txt" file. The content will be shown as comment
|
|
in the GUI.
|
|
|
|
If you load single files, they should match the wildcard "*_hash.dds"
|
|
|
|
|
|
How does OpenTexMod interact with the game?
|
|
|
|
OpenTexMod intercept the connection between the game and DirectX.
|
|
It is required, that OpenTexMod is running before the game is started.
|
|
|
|
The GUI of OpenTexMod act as a server. A game which is successfully
|
|
intercepted with the OpenTexMod-dll will connect on program start to the server.
|
|
The GUI of OpenTexMod can handle multiple games at the same time. It will
|
|
also process each instance of a game as separate process (if the same game
|
|
was started more than once).
|
|
|
|
|
|
How to get OpenTexMod work?
|
|
|
|
There are three ways how OpenTexMod can intercept the DirectX connection:
|
|
(Do NOT use more than one method simultaneously!)
|
|
|
|
1) Add the games-binary through the menu "Main->Add game"
|
|
For Steam see below.
|
|
|
|
known problems: Guild Wars (Win XP)
|
|
|
|
2) Start the game directly through OTM though the menu
|
|
"Main->Start game through OTM" or
|
|
"Main->Start game through OTM (with command line)".
|
|
The game start immediately.
|
|
|
|
3) Copy the d3d9.dll (from the OpenTexMod directory) into the game directory.
|
|
Some games load a dll first from their own directory before they look up the system directory.
|
|
Only for these games this method will work.
|
|
WARNING: never copy this dll into your system directory!!
|
|
|
|
known problems: Guild Wars
|
|
|
|
If you have chosen the first or third method, you simply start OpenTexMod
|
|
and afterwards the game. Do NOT start the game through OpenTexMod.
|
|
|
|
If the game starts and all works fine, a new tab opens immediately in OpenTexMod.
|
|
In this tab you can now mod the game. Press the "update" button to commit
|
|
the changes to the game. You can also save your current settings as a template.
|
|
One template can be set as default for a game, which will be loaded and
|
|
and committed automatically when you start this game the next time.
|
|
|
|
To load a mod, you must set the check mark of the file. If you wish to unload a mod,
|
|
just remove the check mark and click on update again.
|
|
|
|
Clicking on update will only update the differences (if packages have been
|
|
removed from the list, you toggled check marks or changed the order). The reload
|
|
button forces to reload from disk (if you have edited the texture itself).
|
|
|
|
Due to the fact that different mods can modify the same target texture, only the
|
|
mod-texture of the first file in the list is taken into account. The action of this file
|
|
(load or unload) is proceeded regardless of what the following mods are opposed
|
|
to do with their mod-textures.
|
|
|
|
|
|
How to get OpenTexMod work together with Steam?
|
|
|
|
OpenTexMod looks for the name and the path of the executed binary.
|
|
Thus you shall not add the steam.exe but rather the game.exe
|
|
e.g.: C:\Steam\SteamApps\acoount_name\portal\hl2.exe
|
|
If you cannot find the exe, just start the game and use the TaskManager
|
|
to search for it. You can figure out the path through right click->properties. |
