Corylea: How do you change the COLOR of a texture?

2009-12-22T05:39:40Z

How do you change the COLOR of a texture?

New page

How do I ''recolor'' a texture? The colors that the characters are wearing in-game seem to have nothing to do with the colors of the textures in the .dds files.

The main mage robe texture file, pf_rob_appb_0dl2.dds, has very little color, and if I recolor it, as you'd expect, nothing happens. And if I look at pf_rob_appb_0t.dds, it's intense shades of red, blue, and green, which seem designed to tell the game where to put various colors, rather than which colors those are. So where do the specific colors come from?

I've recolored a lot of files for ''The Witcher,'' so I know how to recolor a .dds file. But in ''The Witcher,'' you get whatever color you've made the texture. Where are the colors stored for ''Dragon Age''?

My mage has an orange-and-green set of robes, and I'd like a different color scheme.

Thanks!

Corylea

		+	This "tutorial" states "In this File is a hidden reference to the MAO Material file." referring to the MMH file. Rubbish. The material object filename is towards the end of the MMH. This, and what follows, is seriously misleading. Will fix when I get some time. --[[User:Gaxkang55\|Gaxkang55]] 11:30, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
