mr matt5432123 Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 Ok, ok, ok. I have been in and out of the editor for way too long trying to figure this thing out. I'm trying to figure out how to change the map texture, I tried opening the EFT file (that's the one, right?) with various programs such as paint.net, though, it says that it cannot open the file because the image type is not recognized. It must need to be unpacked, but I have no idea how I could do that, any help would be appreciated. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itchboy Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 You cant open eft files. You need the original source .tga files to be able to edit the map texture. You can find sources for the original Em4 eft files within the DL center. Once done with the edits, save the .tga file in accordance to the Em4 editor manual, and then import it into Em4 which will save it as an eft file.

Hey itchboy, so thanks, I did that, and I made sure when I was done that the width and height was a multiple of 512, and I saved it as a 24-bit .TGA file and I within the scaling maximum, However, when I try to import it into the editor, I get a crash to desktop. Would you mind taking a look at it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itchboy Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Make sure the image has no transparency (is 100% opaque) and is not compressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
