Snake@War Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 Hey guys, if I were to reskin some of the soldiers in TGA, would anyone be willing to convert the TGA's into RSB for me? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandonKappel Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 I think you can do that with the RSB Editor on your IT or GoldEdition Disc. Just click on image in editor and click convert image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver_sword Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 if you have PS download the .rsb plugin then you can open, edit, and save .rsb's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GothicSnake Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 if you have PS download the .rsb plugin then you can open, edit, and save .rsb's ← You can also convert any format to .rsb using that plug-in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommandoCrazy Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 The plug-in works with Paint Shop Pro, too, but you can't make any alpha channels with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake@War Posted March 6, 2005 Author Share Posted March 6, 2005 I don't have PS or Paint Pro. I'll try the RSB Editor thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake@War Posted March 6, 2005 Author Share Posted March 6, 2005 (edited) Nope. There is no convert option. Anyone willing to change either a psd or tga or something along those lines for me? I use GIMP and not PS or PSP. Edit: Stupid question, but will the plug-in work w/ gimp? Edited March 6, 2005 by Snake@War Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver_sword Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 if I can find the .rsb plugin for PS again I would be glad to. Just hit me up on msn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobaka Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 You should be able to convert from tga to rsb with the RSBeditor. Make sure under Tools you check show TGAs. Navigate to your texture folder and select your TGA file, right click, and select convert. Then you have to select your rsb file, right click, choose Property Editor, and check either Alpha blending or Alpha testing enabled. Under alpha testing choose something like Greater than, then enter a number from 0 to 256 - I find 128 is usually a good choice. Use alpha blending if you want a blurred transition from opaque to transparetn, like with smoke. See the level builder PDF file on your DS disk for more info. Oh, and make sure your TGA file dimensions are multiples of 2 - e.g.: 2x2 4x4 16x16 16x32 128x1024 etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrandonKappel Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 (edited) Well said cobaka. The first time I used the RSBTool to convert images I had it 1024x768 and it screwed up the image, so I didn't know what was wrong. When I got PS and save as RSB it said it had to be a power of two, so be sure it is. BrandonKappel EDIT: Also look at THIS POST on ghostaholic. Compliments of wwoody.

Trying to make a MARPAT skin but stupid GR displays everything really darkk... I love you GR, but your an idiot. LOL Edit: After looking at the TUT, you can also Print Screen, instead of converting the template rsb and not have to convert the file an extra time.

But had it backed up waiting to convert. Edit: Someone either need to sticky this thread or make a tut on how to do this a sticky it. Are you looking at me?
