zone textures

[MrPanz]

how can i extract the textures for a soe zone?

[KhaN]

S3DSpy (Downloadable on sourceforge), allow to browse S3D files, extract files.

But if you intend to extract texture to use them in your zones, you must know its totally illegal.

[MrPanz]

none of the bmps are openable after extracted?

edit: only _chr bmp files work after extracted ! any ideas?

ps. what are wld files?

[KhaN]

Most of the EQ texture (at least post-luclin) are DDS.
WLD files are model/objects files

[MrPanz]

what is DDS? an image file type? im trying to get pre-luclin zone textures, but the zone texture bmp's dont open, only char model textures work, this happens when extracting s3d's using both EQinside and S3Dspy, anyone know a way to get them to work??

[MrPanz]

alrite, actually, if i double click them in s3dspy its bitmap viewer can view them, but once i extract them neither paint or photoshop can open them! any ideas?

*Click, Click*

Just tested, S3Spy alow me to view/export BMP texture (Just tested with beholder.s3d), you must be doing something wrong (no idea what it is ...)

[MrPanz]

i can view them in s3dspy too. can you view the file after its extracted though? in a program other than s3dspy?

[MrPanz]

eh, they still wont open in photoshop, but they apply fine in my 3d software, so i guess its all good
