[TOOL] Breckfest v1.5.0 - BMaps made tasty

A few of the textures don't like to be edited and just give me a purple missing textures when I edit them

v1.3.0 released!

Changelog:
Added -c[lutter] commandline option
Fixed red and blue channels becoming swapped when processing \menu\textures\ bmaps

And to answer some questions I've rather rudely ignored so far.
sam223, I think some sort of Mod Manager wouldn't be too difficult to put together.  Once breckfest is more functional I'll have a bit of a play and see what I can come up with.

Matrix404, PSD support would be quite fancy!  I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Axarator, bmaps only so far.  I have made some headway with the vhcl/scne format and should be export from Wreckfest in the near future.  Importing INTO Wreckfest will be considerably more difficult but this is my end goal.  Also, could you give me the file names of the purple textures?  They might have some specific requirements I'm not honouring.

Sounds good.license_c is one which doesn't like to be changed currently

Cheers sam, I'll take a look now.

edit:
Ah, looks to be DXT1 whereas I'm generating DXT5s.  I'll add a commandline option to set the compression

Nice. Another thing to consider might be a easy way to change base colours.Located in property>cars>paint (.vhcp files). I think they are in a BGR colour format. Would be nice if we could create a transparent one.Then in theory whatever was transparent on the skin texture,would be invisible in game meaning removable trim etc without changing the model.

ATM I am on my mothers iPad so I can't name the texture of my head exactly but the rollcage, driver seat, drivers texture for what he is wearing and the headlights and back lights (I was trying to make Nissan skyline backlights)

Big, earnest, direct thanks to both Errol and citizenerased for idiot-proofing the custom skin process. I've had more fun than I thought I would with this.

Nicely done with this mod! This'll tie me over nicely until the next update. Now I've got another use for my tablet:





Maybe we should have a separate thread for skins.

Thanks so much. This is just what I was needing from the game.
Hoping that editing vehicles and tracks will be next, like FO1 and FO2, with support from BugBear.

Thanks for the kind words everyone and thanks Bugbear for mentioning me on your twitter feed!

v1.4.0 will be out later today, it brings dxt1, 3 and 5 compression options as well as uncompressed image for menus.

I'm also working through the SCNE file format.  I'll post screenshots when I've got something to show.

I think Axarator referring to when a Wreckfest car does not find skin file to load, car turn purple. Found this out when messy around with the skin files:



Now that I'm back from vacation, have to see if I can get the number 44 on a skin.

Thanks Errol for releasing your tool. 

Getting there!

Getting there!

I tend not to post much nowadays, but look at forum everyday, you are a legend for your time spent in Breckfest, many thanks, I really really hope that the update when its finally released doesnt make you have to start from scratch again.
I hope NCG gets the modders interest, as it kept Flatout alive for ages.
Kudos to you m8, and the possibilities of importing stuff into NCG is just awesome, good luck

Getting there!

Are you saying that flummery can be used to edit scne files? Also, I would like to see some kind of GUI and/or a testing client as Breckfest gets more advanced.

If you mean edit as in move nodes around, alter the hierarchy and so on then yes. If you mean edit as in alter the geometry then no, Flummery doesn't have any features for creating and editing meshes but does allow you to export models to FBX to edit in your favourite 3D package and will allow you to import back into the SCNE file. Errol's only just cracked the vertex format to load and render models, so saving SCNE files isn't possible yet but Errol's making great headway with the file formats so it'll definitely come. The guy is genius when it comes to reverse engineering file formats.
