I am also interested in obtaining image/texture information from these files...

[Cezero]

These files contain .dds textures... so WTEX appears to be some sort of a container file

Ok, so .WTEX files are really just .DDS files with an additional header. If you edit the file and delete everything prior to the characters 'DDS |' then they will open in any program that can edit DDS files (Photoshop, etc). I'm keen to know what the header info is, but it's not that hard to write a script to simply strip it and rename all the files to .dds

Little BMS Script, if it doesnt work post some more fils.

Code: Select all

Get Offset LONG
Get FileSize ASIZE
Get FileName FILENAME

Set Size FileSize
Math Size -= Offset
String FileName -= 5
String FileName += ".DDS"

Log FileName Offset Size

Works perfectly! thanks.

Hi guys, may i ask for a little help? I have MultiEX commander but i have dot fugered out how to use the above bsm script. I saved it in not pad and hit bms and run Mex script and selected the not pad save, and then whet to the file, but no dice. I am new at this so sorry if i sound stupit. Can some one tell me what i did wrong?

Hi all. Thanks to everyone's input so far it's easy to get the dds textures out for editing, but does anyone have any ideas on how to get them back again afterwards? I've tried simply replacing the header info that was stripped out, but no luck. Is there any way to convert dds back to wtex?

Any help would be much appreciated.

I recommend using Wtex2DDS to convert a DDS to a Wtex and the opposite easily converting a Wtex to a DDS with a byproduct of a HED file.

i can't find a copy of wtex2dds anywhere but if someone can upload samples i will modify evilpie's bms script to do the same thing.

Here's the file for wtex2dds.
