Contents This page is a list of all currently known Tekkit- Compatible Texture PacksIn order to use a Texture Pack, simply place the.zip file/other folder file into the Texture Pack folder, which can be found by clicking the Texture Packs button ingame.
Installing and Loading Texture PacksAll textures must be within a folder that contains the Game ID of the game you are installing the pack for or the region free 3-letter equivalent. Usually the texture pack maintainer will distribute the pack using the proper Game ID.
If the entire Game ID is used, it will limit the pack to that region. If the textures are not in a folder that is named properly, then the pack will not work! To check the ID of your disc image, right click the game in the Dolphin browser, click Properties, open the Info tab, and the ID will be listed next to 'Game ID'.Instructions:1.) Verify that the main texture pack folder is named to the proper Game ID or the first 3 letters.2.) Place the texture pack into the global Dolphin directory:C:UsersUserNameDocumentsDolphin EmulatorLoadTextures3.) Open Dolphin emulator.4.) Enter Graphics Advanced tab Check Load Custom Textures.Performance Options:Prefetch Custom Textures - Caches textures in RAM when game is loaded. May reduce stuttering. Found on GraphicsAdvanced tab.Examples: Xenoblade Chronicles region free ID. The path to the textures should be.C:UsersUserNameDocumentsDolphin EmulatorLoadTexturesSX4 Xenoblade Chronicles (USA) Game ID is SX4E01.
To limit textures to USA only the path should be.C:UsersUserNameDocumentsDolphin EmulatorLoadTexturesSX4E01 Xenoblade Chronicles (PAL) Game ID is SX4P01. To limit textures to Europe only the path should be.C:UsersUserNameDocumentsDolphin EmulatorLoadTexturesSX4P01Note: If the texture pack does not appear to be 'working', it could be that you need to increase the internal resolution!
Higher resolutions require a more powerful system.Graphics Enhancements tab Internal Resolution.The rest of this post is geared towards texture pack creators, maintainers, or interested users. No need to read further if the goal is only to install texture packs. To dump textures with Dolphin, open the Graphics configuration, click on the Advanced tab, and check Dump Textures.When playing the game, dumped textures will show up in.DocumentsDolphin EmulatorDumpTextures.
Textures must be loaded in-game for them to dump. You can not dump the entire game in one go. Textures can not be dumped from the disc themselves, as the filenames will not match the hash needed by Dolphin. The only way to dump all textures is to play the entire game and experience all textures in-game.Now just to throw this out there, it's not entirely impossible to dump the files from the game disc and get the correct hashes. But it would require a LOT of effort, and the method of doing so would be different from game to game. You would need to find a way to extract the raw images from the disc which are most likely using propriety compression techniques, use xxhash to calculate the hashes of the raw images, and assemble a file name using the naming scheme that Dolphin uses (tex1dimensionshashformat.extension). By the time this is all accomplished, in the end it may have been easier to just play the game and dump the textures.
A quick overview of a texture dumped by Dolphin. It will look something like this: tex1256x256mefef240984783a4714.png. The header 'tex1' means that this is the first revision of the new format. Next is the dimensions, the dumped texture has the dimensions 256x256. Next is the letter 'm', which says this is a mipmap texture. Next is the unique hash of the texture.
Last is a flag for the texture.Features of the current texture format:. No Game ID in the texture name. When converting a pack for another region, you only need to rename the GameID folder (or use the region free 3 letter equivalent). Texture packs can have any number of sub-folders that contain textures within the GameID folder for better organization.
Textures can be dumped with ANY Texture Cache accuracy setting, and are are always compatible with every Texture Cache accuracy. The dimensions of the original texture are now in the file name so there is a permanent reference for your custom texture.
Paletted textures once retextured, load up correctly everywhere in the game. (There are exceptions, see section on wildcards).
If a texture requires mipmaps, the dimensions will be followed with an 'm' flag (Example: tex1256x256 mefef240984783a4714.png). If a texture has arbitrary mipmaps, then the texture will end with an 'arb' suffix (Example: tex1128x32macb0eea2ba61e5482 arb.png). The 'arb' suffix can be used on any custom texture to draw mipmaps at a fixed distance (see section on arbitrary mipmaps). Custom textures created with dimensions that exceed the original dimensions should always be calculated by multiplying the width and height by an integer (whole number). The same integer should be used for both the width and height so the aspect ratio is maintained. For example, suppose we want to create an HD version of a 128x128 texture.
Using integer upscale values, the following dimensions are valid:2x size: (128.2)x(128.2): 256x2563x size: (128.3)x(128.3): 384x3844x size: (128.4)x(128.4): 512x5125x size: (128.5)x(128.5): 640x6406x size: (128.6)x(128.6): 768x768. And so on.To calculate the upscale factor of an existing custom texture, simply divide the custom width by the original width and the custom height by the original height.The quotients (results) are the upscale factor of each dimension. Both dimensions should always be equal, and always be an integer and not a decimal. For example.Original Dimensions: 16x32Custom Dimensions: 144x288Width Scale Factor: 144 / 16 = 9(x) scaleHeight Scale Factor: 288 / 32 = 9(x) scaleThis is a valid integer scale of 9x.Textures should not be resized using a decimal scale. It will work in Dolphin, but abusing this will make your textures slower!Original Dimensions: 128x128Custom Dimensions: 300x300Width Scale Factor: 300 / 128 = 2.34(x) scaleHeight Scale Factor: 300 / 128 = 2.34(x) scaleThe decimal value 2.34 is not an integer scale!Textures also should not have uneven scales. This throws off the aspect ratio of the texture.Original Dimensions: 128x64Custom Dimensions: 640x384Width Scale Factor: 640 / 128 = 5(x) scaleHeight Scale Factor: 384 / 64 = 6(x) scaleThe dimensions have different upscale factors between them! Some textures dumped by Dolphin contain the mipmap (m) flag, and are accompanied by smaller versions of the same image that contain a (mip#) suffix.
These are known as mipmap textures. Mipmaps are a collection of images all containing the same image but created at progressively smaller resolutions. Some textures require mipmaps to avoid 'shimmering' in the distance.
Mipmaps can also contain different images on lower levels to create unique effects. These are called arbitrary mipmaps and are covered more in the next section.
Textures without the 'm' flag should not be created with mipmaps. Dolphin will not make use of mipmaps if the game that the texture was dumped from did not make use of mipmaps for that texture.Dimensions for each Mipmap level should be half of the dimensions of the previous level, and should be created all the way down to 1x1. Each MipMap texture name must end with the level of the Mipmap that it represents. For example, level 1 should end with 'mip1, level 2 should end with 'mip2', level 3 should end with 'mip3', etc. Arbitrary mipmaps contain images that differ from the base image/top level. The purpose of arbitrary mipmaps is to create effects that appear/disappear depending on how far the texture is away from the camera. The vast majority of games for the Gamecube and Wii do not use arbitrary mipmap effects, but there are a few that do.
One of the greatest examples is the Super Mario Galaxy games which make heavy use of these effects. Textures that have these mipmap effects will dump with the 'arb' suffix under the condition that GPU Texture Decoding is disabled. If it is enabled, textures will not dump with the 'arb' suffix and it may be difficult to know which textures have these effects. Dolphin has the ability to draw these mipmap effects at a fixed distance at any Internal Resolution setting in order to see them the way they were 'meant to be seen' by the game's developers, but again, GPU Texture Decoding must be disabled.Below is an example of a lava texture that uses arbitrary mipmaps in Super Mario Galaxy, as dumped by Dolphin.
And how it looks in-game (with GPU Texture Decoding disabled).Starting with, custom textures can now make proper use of arbitrary mipmaps. Before custom texture mipmaps were drawn at a distance that was defined by the Internal Resolution and Anisotropic Filtering settings, making where they appear unpredictable. Now textures that include the 'arb' suffix, mipmaps will appear at a fixed distance so the artist has full control over where these effects appear. The 'arb' suffix can be added to any custom texture to draw mipmaps at a fixed distance, or it can be removed from textures that dump with the suffix to dynamically draw mipmaps depending on Internal Resolution and Anisotropic Filtering settings. It will be up to the artist or pack maintainer to decide when to use the 'arb' suffix.Not long after came.
This update picks the same mipmap level for custom textures as it would the game's stock textures, meaning it's possible to perfectly line up custom texture effects with the game's stock effects. This also allows for much higher resolution mipmaps. For the best results, the texture's upscaling factor should match the target Internal Resolution setting. Meaning, a 128x128 texture, upscaled by 4x, resulting in a 512x512 texture, will look best at 4x Internal Resolution.
A secret feature has been available for years that allows using a wildcard character if the same texture dumps with multiple hashes. Unfortunately, this character (.) was invalid for filenames in Windows. Starting with the wildcard character has been changed to ($) so Windows users can take advantage of this feature.Sometimes paletted textures will dump multiple times when the tlut hash changes.While this is not a common issue (in fact it is very rare), it can happen.
Games that are known to be affected are The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii) and Wind Waker (GC). Without the wildcard, every instance of this dump would need to be found in order to have it retextured all the time. This is a nearly impossible feat that wastes a lot of time dumping and ultimately precious disk space. So using the example above, a '$' can be used as the second hash which will effectively retexture every instance.Example: tex1a2$9.dds. There is a lot to this format, so I'm only going to cover some basic information that pertains to creating DDS textures for Dolphin. I have linked a few articles at the bottom of this section that goes much further into detail than I will here.
DDS textures have the advantage that they are faster than PNG textures. DDS can completely avoid or greatly reduce stuttering that custom textures may introduce. The situation for PNG textures is improved with the option Prefetch Custom Textures, but DDS will still outperform PNG because they are decoded much faster on the GPU.The disadvantage of DDS textures is that they are compressed with a lossy algorithm, meaning, the overall quality of the image is reduced when converting to DDS. The quality hit can be avoided using uncompressed DDS textures, but they are much larger in file size and require the same amount of VRAM as PNG. This makes them ideal for UI elements, but not so much for environments and other large textures. Uncompressed DDS textures do however still have a speed advantage over PNG.
Dolphin currently supports four types of DDS block compression: BC1 (DXT1), BC2 (DXT3), BC3 (DXT5), and BC7. It also supports uncompressed DDS textures: DX9 ARGB, DX10 RGBA, or DX10 BGRA.
Ishiiruka can not use DX10 RGBA, Red/Blue will be reversed. DXT1 textures are half the size of DXT5/BC7, and are faster than most other formats. Not recommended for images with transparency. DXT3 should not normally be used as it is the same size as DXT5, only supports 4-bit alpha, and can create noticeable banding.
DXT5 textures may yield higher quality than DXT1 textures. This is the format that should be used for images with alpha (if not converting to BC7). BC7 offers much higher quality than most other formats, is equal in size to DXT5, and has the same VRAM requirements. Requires a DX11 capable GPU. Uncompressed provides lossless quality, but are 4x the size of DXT5/BC7 and require 4x the VRAM.
These should only be used for smaller textures (like UI/HUD elements). DDS textures can have built-in internal mipmaps. These are supported starting with. I personally suggest creating packs using BC7 and uncompressed textures going forward. My can aid in converting packs using these formats.This is a great article on the D3D9 DDS format:An in-depth explanation of the types of DDS block compression:How to calculate the file size of a DDS texture (I've seen many misconceptions on this, so hopefully this clears things up).
Minecraft Texture Pack How To
Starting with, there is a built-in converter to convert custom textures from the old format to the new format!This has since been removed from the master branch, but you can still use Dolphin 5.0 to convert to the new format. Navigate to C:UsersUserNameDocumentsDolphin EmulatorConfig. Open the configuration file GFX.ini with a text editor. Find the setting ConvertHiresTextures and set the value from False to True. Now just play the game. When Dolphin loads a custom texture it will automatically rename it.Texture Converter Features:.
If a duplicate paletted texture is found while playing, it will be automatically deleted. The texture converter will rename any mipmap files that are found if the base texture (top layer) is found. If multiple textures are found that share a duplicate ID, then they will be appended with an incrementing integer. This is a PowerShell script that can help identify issues and fix textures in your pack!
It can detect bad aspect ratios, improper scaling factors, generate mipmap textures, convert textures between PNG, DDS, and JPG formats, and even fix some textures with bad scaling factors! It requires ImageMagick to function, as Windows cannot read dimensions and write images in batch without an external program. If you want to know more then click on the title above.As you rename textures with Dolphin from the old format to the new, this handy tool by StepDragon can watch for which textures get renamed, and search for and rename any files you have (PSD, XCF, TXT, etc.) that share that texture's name. For example, if texture GAMEID123456780.png gets renamed to tex132x32abcdef0.png, then GAMEID123456780.psd will also be renamed to tex132x32abcdef0.psd. @degasus: Hopefully more clear now with a few more examples (even/odd dimensions). It's a concept I have trouble explaining (and even grasping at first). Was trying for more of a 'how to' than an article though.@GeneralHanSolo: The converter is amazing!
Soon as you flip that switch in the ini, you just need to hit the textures in game! So you still need to 'redump' them in that sense, minus actually having to do anything else.Also got rid of some colors for titles, blue is more elegant and not so flashy. Sometimes I get carried away because I love colors.
Hey guys,I've installed mods on previous games before. However with Skyrim, I'm a little confused as to where I extract the texture folders that have extentions like 'dds.' My path to my skyrim directory is files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonskyrimData. Inside my Data folder I see the Interface, Strings, and Video folders. In addition to the 'Skyrim - Textures.bsa' and etc along with the Update.esm and Skyrim.esm but I can't find the texture, character and Saved Games folders?

All textures are placed into a subfolder of the data folder which is called 'textures' (you need to create it yourself). But the most textures are placed in subfolders of the textures folder, so if the textures you downloaded are already in some folders you should put them into the textures folder, too.If you used the Nexus Mod Manager it would place the mods in the right place automatically, btw.A full path for a texture could look like this, for example:Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonskyrimDatatexturescluttercontainerschest01.dds.

Recently people have been asking me about my custom texture packs and just texture packs in general. This guide will show you how to combine to create a custom one or just install it in general.HOW TO IN STALL/DOWNLOAD TEXTURE PACKSFirst what you have to do is find a texture packs you want to install, I recommend going to youtube and just searching for one, click the link in the desc.
I should be downloaded from mediafire, which is completely safe. Let it download then minimize your browser. Then here's where it gets kind of complicated. If you are using windows 8 go into the charms on the right side click the search bar and type%appdata% and press enter. But If you are not using windows 8 click button in bottom left corner and type the same thing in the search bar.
For mac users i don't know. Then once you have the file browser open, the first thing on top should say.minecraft. Next find the folder that says resourcepacks. Now what you want to do is click and drag the downloaded pack from your downloads folder and put it in resourcepacks folder that's it you're done! Then go into minecraft and go to options on pause menu, click resource packs and your new pack should be on the left side, then click the arrow when you mouse over the pack! Then press done and it will load for a few seconds.BAM enjoy your new texture pack!HOW TO COMBINE TEXTURE PACKS TEXTURE PACKSBefore your start this process you will need the free program called winrar, its safe I use it all the time.
When you get the program, navigate back to the resource packs folder and find two texture packs you want to combine. Now since you have winrar, the texture packs folder wont look like a folder, it should look like 3 books on top of each other. Now double click each texture pack and find the textures folder in the certain texture pack after that the possibilities are endless. My texture pack is constantly changing and is a combination between 7 or 8 different packs.Hope this helped you guys who were kind of confused about texture packs, they are fairly simple once you get used to them. If you are a first timer with texture packs I recommend just downloading one, but once you get used to them you can start combining and making custom textures Here's some links for some texture packs that I use and programs used to combine textures:Winrar:Faithful texture pack:Doppler texture pack:Huahwi texture pack:(dont worry adf.ly is safe ).
