What happened to the trees??
Posted: 10 Oct 2004 11:47 AM |
Hey all,
Anyone familiar with a problem where many things (mainly trees and foliage) are just white? Obviously these are part of the Hak Pak textures and they are not being referenced.
All four Hak Paks have been loaded (and then reloaded) but still have these white, crystalline trees and shubs and whatnot. Ugh!
Any suggestions or options would be appreciated! |

Hi James :)
Unfortunately it might be that your Video Card does not support some of the textures used in the Hakpaks......... Most likely .DDS textures.
I think there's a way you can extract these from the haks (using the NWHak utilitity in the Utils folder of NWN).
If it's trees it could be the tir na og hak. What you would need to do is extract the textures using the NWHak Util then copy them and transfer them into a format your Video-card supports (most likely .tga) using a prog (such as IrfanView which is available for free download).
I think you might well have to rotate them when you change them to .tga though............. then you would need to put these textures into your over-ride dirrectory.
So yeah.......... sorry about this, as it's a bit of a pain to do :/ However, the other option is to buy a new Video Card (oof) if you've got a bit of spare cash.
If you let me know which ones are appearing white (locations, area name etc) then I'll see if I can discover which hak is the one utilising .dds and try to help you out a bit :)

Thanks, Ara. I was afraid that would be the answer and had been hoping against hope for a "quick fix" solution. *Heavy sigh*
Well, it may be time to bring the system in and see what the cost of an upgrade would be. *opens wallet and tries to swat away the moths that fly out* |

Ive got the same problem, and now i know why. (Yeh, it would be the card, its just an old TNT nivida). Unfortunetly i dont have the cash for an upgrade. If i make a list while im in game of the placeables (and there mostly all placeables) that im getting the white textures with would somone be able to hit me with the aproprate things to hunt for in the haks?
Right now ive got more time then $ so ill go through and convert the files. Thanx. |

Ok, ive got a small list so far from the 2 hours or so i was logged in today. All of these things were in the city of Midor:
All of the 'cylindrical tree/gem looking things' . Sorry that that is vague - but there hard to pick without the textures. [i]~ there the things outside the liabry[/i]
The smaller gem/tree things. (can take a screeny if needed).
All of the large placeable trees.
The knights sheilds.
The carpet in the exotic goods store.
All the wagons.
All the signs hanging above the doors.
All the ornings above the doors.
Carpet in Versushi's fasions.
__________________________
More to come :)
Also, once ive converted these files, i can rar the lot up and send it to somone willing to host it for other people to down load if they have the same problem. |
