Exporting Weapons textures, possible?

Daed · Mon, 12th Jan '04, 1:13pm

Is there any way to export a weapon from the module so I can graphically edit it

with Photoshop or similia?

I know it's possible to modify graphics, but is isn't obvious. Use the Photoshop PLT Exporter from here: http://nwn.bioware.com/downloads/misc.html

I've never tried modifying the graphics at all. If this doesn't work, I'm sure there are many alternate weapon graphics packs on NWVault.

Cool file! Thanks for the tip mate

edit: Hmz, I did as the readme says, but I need a way/tool to export the file from the module first, and looks like I can only export .erf file, but how to extract the texture of the weapon from the .erf file so I can handle it with photoshop

?

Handy program, I extracted the blade.erf file and I've got the blade.uti file, now I should extract the blade.plt from the .uti right? Or maybe the texture file is a .psd file or other?

edit: Got it, I had to extract the .bif files, not the .erf ones! Now I see all the .tga files

edit 2: Looks like the only .tga files are for creatures and rings/potions, The only Weapon related files are .uti , stored in the Override folder, so is there any way/tool to extract texure file from a .uti file, example file: "nw_wswls001.uti" ?
