I see. It is very unlikely that the textures are exported incorrectly in terms of color channels. If it looks like complete nonsense then it is probably a texture type I haven't encountered and is wrongly exported. However, if the texture looks somewhat ok then it is most likely correct and that is how the texture is actually used in-game.

Re: Star Ocean: The Divine Force Tool
That's so weird... I've tried messing around with channels and inverting, but so far I haven't been able to figure out how to get it correct. If this is how they show up in game, I feel like there SHOULD be a solution. I'll keep poking at them.akderebur wrote: ↑Wed Mar 22, 2023 11:35 am I see.

Re: Star Ocean: The Divine Force Tool
Yeah I'm COMPLETELY lost. I was going to try looking at the files in RawTex, but I can't do that since there's no tool to decompress the files and I can't figure that out on my own, so I'll just photoshop the ones that come out wrong.
I've had another issue pop up, this time with one of Malkya's UVs:
Is this a glitch with the extraction tool? The rest of her UVs are fine (and I haven't run into this issue on any other models so far), it's just the UVs that go with this material. The Lightmap UV is identical to the Diffuse UV, so that's not the problem.

Re: Star Ocean: The Divine Force Tool
That model seems to have a separate file with uv modifications, usually they do that if the uv is animated for some sort of special effect or something similar.
Re: Star Ocean: The Divine Force Tool
Ohh interesting, I hadn’t seen that before but that makes a lot of sense—this is where the sparkly parts on her body are.
Re: Star Ocean: The Divine Force Tool
Do you know which file it's stored in? I've been doing some hunting, but haven't found it yet.

Re: Star Ocean: The Divine Force Tool
I will try to look at them when I have the time. Probably over the next week.
The texture Is used in a shader which also has other color inputs for stuff like base color, highlights, etc. That is why it ends up looking correct inside the game. So there is no way to get the correct output unless the shader is reverse-engineered too.
Re: Star Ocean: The Divine Force Tool
Thank you! I appreciate all your hard work on this.
That makes sense. It's just bizarre that they did this for only yellow and blue hair but not the rest. Maybe it had something to do with lighting... who knows. Photoshopping is good enough for me.

Re: Star Ocean: The Divine Force Tool
What is the process for unpacking textures separately from .asf files? (.aif)
I tried following process similar to what described from getting SOA textures but that didn't work

Re: Star Ocean: The Divine Force Tool
Just checking to see if you were ever able to find a fix for this?
Re: Star Ocean: The Divine Force Tool
I did FINALLY figure out what was going on with the color-swapped textures: some of them have the red and blue channels swapped. Swapping them back fixed the issue.
