convert files to .agh

[Blue Hasia]

so im trying to add some art to the dragon body. but it seems that almost everything no longer works to get the files converted back to .agh

i save the files as .dds in PS but the dds to agh converter crashes, when it hits my .dds files

and the the old method of saving the file as a .png in the RO folder and having the game convert it to .agh also no longer works.


any suggestions?

1) Edit clientprefs_common.def and make sure the the followign are set:
useAGH=true
ddsHighQuality=true
updateAGHFiles=true

2) Save the image as TGA or PNG. (remember to preserve your alpha layer)

3) Add the image you want to convert to the resoruces_override dir

4) Start the game.

5) ???

6) Profit!

nope that didn't work i had 1 out of 3 already set to true, but then i smacked myself in the head cant believe i forget about /agh <file name> and that did work.



and yes i did get the 5)??? then profit and that made me laugh

huh, I'm looking at the source and part of the startup procedure is:

if (gCommonPrefs->useAGH && gCommonPrefs->updateAGHFiles)
	UpdateAGH();

hmm, I think I see the issue in UpdateAGH() ... the above instructions should probably work if you modify it to:

2a) create resources_override\textures and resources_overrid\textures_agh

3) place the image to be converted in resources_override\textures

This should be fixed when my build gets out of alpha ...

im only only doing a few files so the /agh <file name> command works for me for now. though im trying to recall if their was a command to reload game textures/.agh while in game with out having to relog..im sure their was don't remember having to relog so many times in the past.
