| Editing Serious Sam Textures |

I'm looking for an editor that will allow me to modify 32bit Serious Sam .TEX Texture files. It's actually for Deer Hunter 2003, but they use the same engine I believe. I've been googling, but I can't find an editor yet, except one called Wally. It only supports up to 24bit textures, but the game uses 32bit. Anyone help? ------------ |

Are the textures simply images? Can you find out the file format and make a tex->bmp->tex convertor? -- |

Well, I've tried just renaming them to various picture formats, but none worked. They are just pictures, but I don't know the format. I found one "TEX Converter" but when I converted to PCX it was in grayscale instead of the normal color. I have an Editor that came with DeerHunter called SeriousSkaStudio, and if I try to open a Texture with it, it shows up in the preview window, but gives me an error when I open it. I assume it doesn't want to allow me to edit textures. hehe, here is what the file looks like opened in notepad. this is just a tiny chunk off the top.

A Google for ".tex file format serious sam" looks promising ... -- |

That's pretty much what I searched for, but I'm still looking through the results. ------------ |

I'm dumb!, I just bought that game like 4 days ago. My roomate and I spent a good 6 hours playing cooperative, then deathmatch. Personally I think it is better done then quake3. (A newer game I bet, but still.) |

Deer Hunter 2003 is better than Quake?...isn't it just a hunting game?

I think he means Serious Sam, not Deer Hunter. I've always wanted to try that game.

I'm dumb!, I assume since he mentioned "deathmatch" mode he was talking about Serious Sam, not Deer Hunter. I've still not found a good .TEX editor, or even a way to convert to and from the .TEX files. (sigh) But actually, DH2003 is a great game, if you like hunting sims. It's the most realistic I've played. and I do actually hunt deer in real life, so I know at least a little bit about it =) ------------ |

Don't you just hate it when an extension is used for more than one file type? Anyway, a friend of mine complained a while back that Paint Shop Pro (I think, might have been Photoshop) re-registered the .tex extension to itself without asking, which annoyed him not a little. |

I have PSP 7, it wouldn't open the .TEX file unfortunately =( I found a .TEX converter, but it doesn't work quite right.. Here is what happens. (download attachment) The top is what it should look like, the bottom is the .TGA file that I get. ------------ |

Radagar, do a simple RGB<->BGR conversion on the TGA. The red and blue colors are just switched around. -- |

There might be an option to switch red and blue colors somewhere in PSP (Infranview can, if you have that). If not, just make a small program with Allegro to swap red and blue values. -- |

In PSP, you can split an image in a red, blue and green channel (well, you could in version 4 anyway). These you can recombine in any permutation you wish (you can also use a totally different image for some extremely weird colours). |
