  Basic Texturing for games - What are all the different files for?
Posted by: Gamer28 - 10-02-2018, 03:30 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Hi everyone,

I am currently working on trying to retexture the uniforms in this picture:

https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/comp...-prefix=en

The game is called "Company of Heroes". Effectively I just want to change the soldiers top so that it is a green color - the same color as the pants and helmet. I am trying to make them look more like Vietnam era US soldiers.

I have changed the color but ingame the soldiers appear quite dark. It is obvious that I am doing something wrong.

The original file is in .rgt format but I change it to .dds to edit it and then convert if back. There is a whole list of files that seem to relate the the uniform:

tex_al_rifleman.dds
tex_al_rifleman_dirt.dds
tex_al_rifleman_glossiness.dds
tex_al_rifleman_normalize_sharpen_normalmap.dds
tex_al_rifleman_normalmap.dds
tex_al_rifleman_normalmap_no_sharpen.dds
tex_al_rifleman_normalmap_normalize_sharpen.dds
tex_al_rifleman_normalmap_sharpen.dds
tex_al_rifleman_occlusion.dds
tex_al_rifleman_specular.dds

These files all look similar - but some have the uniform in black, others in all white.

At the moment I have tried just editing the tex_al_rifleman.dds and then exporting that. But I thought that editing the one file may be the reason that the soldier appears kind of dark - or as if a shadow is cast upon him.

So I tried editing this file and then adding all the rest as a layer - still same problem. Also, is there any way to tell which file should be the bottom layer and which should be the middle and top?

I mean some of these files just show the soldiers uniform all colored white while others show the uniform all colored black...

Any advice?

Hello, gimpies.

I'm in some way frustrated because I can't repeat the following effect to my background graphic:

I filled the whole background with the pattern and used a color gradient to get personal tough  Smile

But I can't remember, how I did it.

I need some tips.

Thank you in advance.

  GIMP - RGB image colours not working
Posted by: Monica - 09-30-2018, 11:40 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

I am trying to edit an image (imported png saved as xcf), mode is already RGB but still the whole Colours menu is greyed out and none of the usual colour tools work (colorise, HUE-mode layers, etc). All layers remain stubbornly black and white. The colours menu is completely greyed out, mode is already RBG, file is xcf. Help!

  GIMP 2.10.6 not responding
Posted by: HBS - 09-29-2018, 04:16 PM - Forum: Installation and usage - Replies (9)

Hello - I hope you can help me with this issue, as I love GIMP.

My computer recently had a clean install of Windows 10 Pro. Before the crash of c:\ GIMP 2.10 worked perfectly.

I have lots of space on C.:\, 8 GB RAM and SSD.

Now I also had to reinstall GIMP, which means I am now on 2.10.6 .

GIMP always say "not responding" ie when I try to open an image or save and image, and more actions.

I have removed with Revo several times and reinstalled, but I have the same problem.

I have tried to install older versions, but I can only find unstable versions. Of course I have sarched this forum without finding anything when I search for the term "responding"

I would be grateful for input.

Best regards,

Posted by: mholder - 09-28-2018, 05:08 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (5)

I have 2.10.6 flatpak.  I need the normal map plugin.  I can install it with the synaptic manager, but I have no idea where it is now.  I don't have 2.8 anymore. Any ideas?
-----edit
Ok I installed 2.8 and the normal map plugin with the synaptic manager. It works, and that is good, but my default .gimp2.8 plugins folder is empty. Does anyone know where the synaptic installer puts the normal map plugin?

  sharpen photo cfr photoshop action
Posted by: denzjos - 09-27-2018, 05:33 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

An action in photoshop is great to sharpen photos. It is concerning the following action, Russell Brown's detailing action that one can found on: https://www.photoshop.com/spotlights/russell-brown. I tried to make the same thing in gimp, but I think I missed something because the result is a more colorful photo, but it is not sharpen. It use a negative curve preset in photoshop. I don't know how to do that in gimp. Anyone? Thanks in advance.

  Windows 10 what gives
Posted by: piginhat - 09-27-2018, 01:26 PM - Forum: Windows - Replies (3)

I have always used GIMP with no issues on Mac OS for 10 years now but have recently had to switch to Windows 10 and am finding the user interface well pretty useless as everything is tiny and I can’t see how to increase their size?

All the icons on the tool windows are tiny, the menu options overlap so basically it not usable at all.

How come GIMP is a peach on Mac but sucks on Windows?

Can anyone advise on how to rectify?

Thanks
