Back at my days in modding oblivion, we were told to use DXT5 compression, dont know if that will help with the squares tho, but I remember not seeing any squares on my oblivion clothings

T terrytmk Thx for ur reply! I try DXT5 in Photoshop, Paint.Net and compressonator(you can create cool compressed lossless DXT5) and the Squares persist :/

I don't know if this will help, but try increasing the size of the texture before you rebuild the package. Your image is 1024x512, try storing it as 2048x1024. I have no idea if this will work or not, but give it a try. My program does set all the necessary properties for the size of the image it is adding to the package.

stricq I try it and this is the result:

Better than the other File
I notice the program Create the minimaps right? cuz in the outfit i try modified only have the 1024 view and the new one have 2048 to 8x4

Thank you!

Yes, the program creates all the needed minimaps. You need only create, work with the largest size and the program shrinks it down for all the other sizes.

If the game client crashes while loading one of the modified files, it leaves that file locked and the process is still running. You can open the Task Manager and kill the GameClient.exe process. This will unlock the file so that UPKManager can rebuild the file.

The game never crashed, Client.exe wasn't in the process list. I'm still getting the error message even after restarting my PC.

Tried to rebuild 00019908.upk (gon's dark angel) with no luck
it get stuck on col2_s, have tried without modifying and still doesnt work
dont know if it is because col2 doesnt have n map or what, even after I put in a n map still stuck

You need to get the newest version where that is fixed.

Not sure what I have done wrong.
I moved a mod file into the directory so i can export the contents.
Then I changed the texture a little bit to remove the tattoo on the back. Save it using DXT5.
Then I rebuild it using the UPK Manager.
The costume shows up in login screen but I will always crash when I actually enter the game world.

 

[dying swan]

+1 have the same issue :c

Somtimes it let me load the game but then it will crash ~1-2 loading screens later.

 

[terrytmk]

The new patch crashed my rebuilds. dont know if it is bypass related or not since before the update I could use my launcher bypass just fine.

Okay, it is weird, I restarted the PC and try again and no problem since.
I haven't tried rebuilding anything new as of treasure trove update

Ok my bypass is working and seems like when using launcher bypass, my edited texture is working fine. However if I switch to NClauncher, my game will crash with the edit texture, dont know if it is because i save the file as a bigger size than original or not. But seems like the only crashes i have is with costume texture that I saved that is larger than the original size.

So far your program is working great to repack DXT1 and DXT5 formats but there are a few diffuse maps saved in the upk files as A8R8B8G8 format. When repacking those the texture appears mostly invisible and the client crashes almost right away. This happens even if the extracted file is unmodified and just exported and rebuilt right away. I don't know if i'm doing anything wrong but I don't think so. If someone else can try to rebuild one and see if it works that would be great.

EDIT: The rebuilt upk is about half the size of the original, just a guess but maybe the image is getting compressed when the A8R8G8B8 format is not supposed to be compressed at all?

I think the image library I use has a problem with that format (and G8.) I will likely open an issue for this.

Good to know, thanks for all your effort on this program :D

You can't do it now, but I might change the program to always store in DXT5 or at least allow an option to override what is in the original file. That might work as well.
