edit
ok here is modified Noesis python script to open all the wtex samples and possibly htex textures too,
or at least the ones from this thread http://forum.xentax.com/viewtopic.php?f ... 6&p=125609
*script updated March 6, 2018*
tex_StarTrekOnline_wtex_htex.zip

this might be the last update i make on this script, it is becoming more chaotic than anticipated.
there are only a few textures i seen so far that are storing mipmaps first and i don't have enough
diverse samples to compare and confirm flags so i will give the users more control here.
in the updated script on line 4 is where you can change to 0 or 1 (false or true),
it is set to 1 or true by default, so if you see a texture that displays with mipmaps first
you must change that line in the script and save and reload plugins, then you can export that texture
and it will look correct.

i have also seen a htex texture that starts with a valid dds header but it stores mipmaps first and
Noesis will override any command i throw at it because it thinks the dds is normal.
so i have made a bms script that you can run on those to get a fixed dds texture that you can open.

Code: Select all

# script for QuickBMS http://aluigi.altervista.org/quickbms.htm

idstring "DDS "
get SIZE asize
get NAME basename
string NAME + _fixed.dds
goto 0x14
get DATASIZE long
xmath OFFSET "SIZE - DATASIZE"
append
log NAME 0x0 0x80
log NAME OFFSET DATASIZE
append

I've tried converting these .wtex crunch files with the commandline executable crunch.exe, and they all fail.
'Error: CRN unpack failed'

v1.01 crunch
https://code.google.com/archive/p/crunch/downloads

v1.04 crunch
https://github.com/BinomialLLC/crunch

I made sure the files start with the magic id 'Hx', but they still fail. Is there anything unusual about these .wtex crunch files? Header data looks similar to crunch files created with the commandline tool, so I don't understand why they're not getting converted.

Interestingly enough, the crunch file format stores two crc16 values, one for the header and one for the data. I recomputed it to compare against the .wtx crunch files, and I get mixed results. So, something is wrong.
