The texture is a gtf format, but with the blocks "changed" ......
You can convert a .ctrx texture to dds, but you must edit the header (64b)

Example of japan_studio:

1º original block (16 bytes):
0200010100384000 0000000100000000
1º edited block :
020101FF00384000 0000000100000000

2º original block (16 bytes):

The last step is convert a ctxr file with gtf2dds.exe



This method is extensible for textures of Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater (HD Collect).
Luck!

Hello, I'm sorry to bother you but I have one question, how do we know what to change the values of the ctxr files header to? If I had a ctxr file with different values in the header what is the process for changing them? I looked for a pattern in the file you changed to see if I could find a similar way to do it for a different ctxr file but I'm not having any luck. Sorry, I know it's a really beginner question but I'd just like to learn thanks!

EDIT: Nevermind, I figured it out eventually. I'm so stupid sometimes :p

So I made a simple bms script to convert these ctxr files to ones that can be converted using gtf2dds just to save time

Code: Select all

goto 0x24
get VAL long
get VAL2 long
get VAL3 long
get VAL4 long
goto 0x18
put VAL long
put VAL2 long
put VAL3 long
put VAL4 long

and just run quickbms using the command line;

quickbms -w -F "*.ctxr" ctxrconv.txt c:\ctxr

etc

Hi

I know this is a pretty old thread, but I'm a little confused, I'm able to get a folder called ctxrconv.txt to appear, but its blank, and then when I run the BMS script (from reimport, which seems to have -w enabled) I'm told that 0 files have been imported in 0 seconds.

If someone could break this down a tiny bit I'd really appreciate it, trying to understand this but not getting very far.

If you get this, do not worry, you have the CTXR files prepared to convert them to DDS with GTF2DDS.EXE.

Code: Select all

C:\quickbms>quickbms -w -F "*.ctxr" ctxrconv.txt c:\quickbms\ctxr

Guess I must be doing something wrong. All that comes up is this:

Code: Select all

C:\Users\username>cd C:\Users\username\Downloads\quickbms

C:\Users\username\Downloads\quickbms>quickbms -w -F "*.ctxr" ctxrconv.txt C:\Users\username\Downloads\quickbms
