Re: Pillars of Eternity BETA - Texture doubt

Developers of Unity have their Unity SDK on their website. You can create your own game with that tool, it a free like UDK, but in unity you cannot open assets archives, they're builded along with game.

Oh and tutorial for what?

Re: Pillars of Eternity BETA - Texture doubt

Unfortunately thats the only way to mod Unity games for now, the full mod tool pack is far from over and maybye probably never will be done becouse Unity is very complex engine and newer versions can change everything.

Re: Pillars of Eternity BETA - Texture doubt

I updated tools, so you can convert and make bump maps. Also .tex files have dxt data, theyre pretty same as dds but dds have 128 Bytes long header and tex hav only 56 Bytes long but its not problem to convert them back. For spec channel you can use Gimp or photoshop or any that can manipulate with ...

Re: Pillars of Eternity BETA - Texture doubt

Textures with C are color maps, alpha is specular.
Textures with A are translucent maps.
Textures with N are bump maps but alpha is swapped with green channel, blue must be white.


Here is tool for GIMP to convert Bump Maps.
