Hey everyone. Considering this is a tool, not a mod, I believe this is the right place to introduce this. We've worked on a tool which can analyze, modify & decompress *.EFT textures back into a readable and editable format. While this brings a lot of new modding possibilities (considering there was no method to decompress *.EFT files the past 15 years) I have to admit: With great power comes great responsibility. This tool is an important milestone for the EM4 community, however (and I cannot stress this enough) the respectful handling of assets should always be a priority. What can EFTX do? EFTXplorer (EFTX) can read & convert an Emergency EFT texture without using the original TGA texture. This allows you to reprocess "lost" textures or just convert textures whose source is unknown. How does EFTX work? EFTX is a "wrapper" for our LibEFT library. It reads the EFT, analyzes it and converts it via CPU into a readable format. Feel free to read details on our GitHub page!

Update 1.3: Fixes: Exporting to TARGA (*.tga) now exports to the correct 24-bit format. All other export options will export 32-bit RGBA. New features: You can now drag and drop an .EFT file to import it Large Preview option. Double-clicking .EFT files and opening them with EFTX as a standard option will open them in a large Preview window. Adjustments: EFTX now has an icon.

I suppose I do owe everyone here a progress update, considering it has been more than 4 months since my last update. The mod is still in progress, as is Edgewater (I'll probably be posting a similar message on that thread tomorrow). I'll be honest with all of you. Version one of this mod is not good. It does not live up to the standards I set for myself in terms of quality and detail. Thus, immediately after releasing the mod, I started working on a new version. I'm now stuck in a terrible loop. I get a few assets done, then I grow unhappy with the quality of them, so I scrap them and start over. A lot of work is being done behind the scenes. I just wish to refrain from showing it until I am happy with it, which could be a while but also could be quite soon. That is to say I have no idea when the next update will come, but I promise you when it does come, it will be work I am proud of.

Ah yes, I love that in the middle of this epic shot, EM4 does its thing and overtakes the car in front in reverse Keep up the good work!
