Tutorial: Color the models
« on: June 03, 2005, 07:58:16 pm »
This won't work with a normal hradba 206
(This will work with non hradba servers or with fake hradba)

Hi
How to color the models:
First you have to extract the game.
Do it like described here:
http://www.tkc-community.net/Forums/viewtopic.php?t=160

Now..
You need any version of Adobe Photoshop. You can get the trial version here:
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/photoshop/win/7.x/AdobePS7Tryout.exe

Now you need the .dds plugin. You can find it in the TKC Download Section or download it here :)
http://tkc-community.net/Main/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownloaddetails&lid=40&ttitle=DDS-Plugin#dldetails


Then go to your Vietcong folder and to Vietcong\g\characters\tex
there are all the textures of the US and VC models.

If you want to color the heads only.. the vc heads have following filenames:
cvp_face01_a.dds .. just color all of the heads..

If you also want to color the whole body (uniform) you also need to color those files: cvp_uniform03_clear.dds



Coloring:
Open Photoshop and put the files with drag and drop in your photoshop.

I just colored the faces of the vc

The original face looks like this:


the colored looks like this:



ingame it looks like this:



If you have more questions or think that important info is missing in this tut then post here.

If you dont have photoshop to colour the models, dont worry, there are some dds converters around.

http://www.vcbase.com/downloads/tools/ddscv_1_20.zip


so use them to convert the specified textures to jpeg, and colour them with paint for example: VC red 255, and US Blue 255.

then convert back to dds.


but dont forget you need to pack it as a .cbf, placed in addons.

you can also create an object in 3d max, and apply the textures on the objects.

now open up a specified map in the editor,
duplicate one, or open the extracted levels)
and put the .bes below the terrain, or in the air, just make it really small, or change the LOD so u wont see it.

dont forget to add the textures to vietcong/levels/theduplicatedmap/TEX.

then repack the map into an addon, and if vc loads the map, it will automaticly overwrite objects+textures with the same name.

remember both require to be repacked as an addon, so you need some sort of .CBF creator.

you can use this for the demo, and just replace the textures, since it doesnt requires to be repacked.

it worked for me without doing that
