Background:

I'm trying to swap leather channels for shin015. To do that, I need to find hi-res version of that texture. In NWN Explorer 1.6.3, the ONLY place I can find the texture for pmh0_shinr015 is in NWN Main Data \ data\textures_02.bif \ Textures, PLT and that is only a 16x32 texture which is too low-res for this operation. So my questions are:

 

1. Does the search function work in NWN Explorer 1.6.3? When I click on it, nothing happens.
2. Are there any other texture packs with plts other than Textures_Tpa and Textures_Tpc? pmho_shinr015 is not in those.
3. How can you determine the texture resolution in NWN Explorer 1.6.3? I have to export the textures and then open them in GIMP to get that info.

Thanks in advance!

search in nwexplorer has always failed for me. another thing I don't like is that all-caps files come before lower case. If you examine the very top of the list for the same texture pack, you will see a file in all caps which is what you are looking for. It's not down with the lower case ones. (Textures_Tpa)

 

In nwexplorer, the textures, I believe, are rendered in maximum resolution, so what you see is what you get. If it is larger than the view panel, the view panel resizes to compensate. So super tiny res images will look like flies on this huge monitor, and larger ones are reasonable quality.

One way to detect resolution is to screen capture and paste into something that can give you resolution details. Remember the images are in powers of two, so 32 64 128 256 etc., or down by 16 8, 4 etc. If you know how big on your screen a common icon of 32 pixels is, you can make a good guess at 64, 128, or 256. You know higher sizes will be an obvious 512 or 1024. For the purposes of your question, if the image shown in nwexplorer is the similar width as a desktop icon on windows, assume it's 32 pixels. Windows standard icon size is now 48, so it's close to true.

For some reason, the texture name is in all caps, i.e. PMH0_SHINR015. Maybe that's why you can't track it down?

Thanks guys. I had skimmed down the list until I found what I thought was the set of textures. I didn't realize that what I need was in all caps at the very top. Thanks for the other tips as well.

All you can do is hope they don't want too much to keep quiet...
