Texture patcher - Fix transparent visors/black feet etc

[nilbog]

Ever notice half elf visors are sealed shut? Eye of Zomm is black?

These issues and many more can be fixed.

Months ago, kanras and I fixed all known texture issues. We have both been busy with RL work, and not much has been completed since. I am releasing the executable and relevant patcher so you can enjoy what has been corrected to date. Original credit goes to Ropethunder for creating the transpfx.exe file.

Examples of fixed textures:

Other notable fixes:


Plate chest pieces having black spots - half elves, dark elves, etc.
Certain player models having black spots in hair or faces - high elf female, dark elf male.
Many, many models having black feet.
Black spots on sand giants, snow orcs, dragon wings, qeynos hills buildings.
Transparency issues for pegasus wings, trakanon wings, felguard visors.
many more

To use:


Download http://www.project1999.com/files/transparencypatcher.zip



Extract patch_s3d_textures.bat and transpfx.exe into your \Everquest folder
Run patch_s3d_textures.bat file
Wait for it to finish
Restart your Everquest client
Enjoy


Known problem:


The female human plate helm shares the same texture as the male human plate helm but does not use transparency. As a result of enabling transparency for the male plate visor a small porthole has appeared in the back of the female plate helm.

Is this legal?


Yes. This includes no copyrighted files. It simply modifies your existing files.


Is this mandatory?


No. This is completely optional.


Can I use this for other EQemu servers?


Yes. Enjoy.

is it compatibale with the texture upgrade from the tech forums?

[Droxx]

Awesome! I've been waiting for this for a long time. Thanks.

[cyryllis]

NO MORE ZEBRA HAIR.....

WWOOOOOT

[Telin]

I initially used the patcher without giving it the right permissions. I then gave it administrative permission and tried to run it again. When it starts it closes immediately without doing anything. I even reinstalled everything to try it again and it won't work. I have the higher_res pack of zones, could that be an issue?

[Dantes]

Open a command prompt and run it from there.

[Unfun]

is it compatibale with the texture upgrade from the tech forums?

Does not appear to be compatible. Had the texture upgrade installed and as soon as I installed this I was crashing instantly at character selected. Loaded in my backups and reinstalled the patch and it worked.

Can't have both I guess until maybe Nilbog finds a work-around :(

[Swish]

Nice work guys, kudos :)

[Xadion]

Works for me! thanks all great work! forward unto daw....velious

Thanks for the fix, working well on my laptop! Although you may have missed one eye fix:

(Yes, I will do anything to avoid the level 59 grind, including running around the must unpopular zones in Norrath)

[Neryn]

Ever since I patched this, I can't open my screenshots (Paint, Gimp and such says the BMPs are corrupted BMPs). Is this happening to anybody else?

[Minluan]

Not had that problem Neryn, my previous screenshot was from post patching the textures. Can you still open your older screenshots before the patch?

[nilbog]

Ever since I patched this, I can't open my screenshots (Paint, Gimp and such says the BMPs are corrupted BMPs). Is this happening to anybody else?

This should have nothing to do with the texture patcher. If it the problem persists, create a Technical Discussion thread with specifics and perhaps someone will be able to assist.

[Icecometus]

My barbarians feet are still black.

[nilbog]

My barbarians feet are still black.

Anyone else? Works fine for me.

[RyoGTO]

Sticky this in technical! This is incredibly useful, thanks!

[Vega]

Sorry to bump this again, but just wanted to throw this out there for people who'd seen the warning in the OP about this fix. I have the newer textures from the technical discussion thread, and had no problems with using this fix. Obviously that doesn't prove that no one will, but it does prove that not everyone will. Make a backup and give it a try if curious. This fix looks great on my DE's plate armor.

To fix the Evil Eye models, load patch_s3d_textures.bat into Notepad or Notepad++

Add this to the top below where it says "Verify existance" etc etc:

rem Evil Eyes
set rt_eastkarana_chr=behhe0002.bmp
set rt_beholder_chr=behhe0002.bmp
set rt_gukbottom_chr=behhe0002.bmp
set rt_runnyeye_chr=behhe0002.bmp
set rt_fearplane_chr=behhe0002.bmp
set rt_airplane_chr=behhe0002.bmp

Then this to the bottom right above the global_chr.s3d load just below the Druusk fix(Be sure to add "echo." above the global_chr.s3d part since you're adding to the top):

call :PatchS3D "beholder_chr.s3d" "-rt %rt_beholder_chr%"
if %ErrorLevel%==1 exit /b

echo.
call :PatchS3D "fearplane_chr.s3d" "-rt %rt_fearplane_chr%"
if %ErrorLevel%==1 exit /b

Should look like this:

Then run the batch file again.

I have always been curious to try was running -rt and -mp versus the entire client's s3ds. The problems likely expanded to individual .bmp files that I have grown accustomed to seeing since Luclin.

Just recently tried the patcher, opened a CMD box for a split second, then closed (disabled my anti-virus just to be sure).

My half-elf helmets and human helmets still have a solid visor. Any suggestions?

[Jogo]

Having some interesting issues- The original post's patch didn't change anything immediately noticeable- My barb's horns were still black-splotched, and feet were black. Went to Danyelle's patcher, and the exe seemed smoother (had some errors with the OP's patch, but it scrolled by too quickly), with no errors, and at first blush it fixed my feet being black (yay!) but my barb's horns are still black-splotched.

[Danyelle]

Live made an update to model loading, putting every Classic-GoD model into it's own standalone file which has repaired all of this on the npc model side (zone texture transparency issues isn't a problem on Live, or on here for that matter, with the 'HD Luclin' texture packs so they didn't fix that because on Live it isn't a problem, so Classic textures for zones on P99 will still require this patcher). No more black spots, transparency issues, etc on any models. Using them to fix the issue would require you to get the new files from a Live install for every 'problem race' (evil eyes, eye of zomm, giants, player races, merchants, wasps, fae drakes, drakes, etc etc) then add the new file to gloabal loads or (at the expense of being more complicated and time consuming but making it easier on your pc in the long run) to zone_chr files for loading to overwrite the 'compilation' of zone races and thus load the repaired models. These patches also fixed several issues unrelated to black splotches such as drakes holding weapons in their mouths, iksar skeletons holding their offhand backwards and scarecrows holding their offhand at a sideways angle.

I won't make promises I can't keep as I may or may not get around to it (I'm still 'working' on making an installer for Luclin model mod) but I will see about getting an installer of sorts in that can patch in all the new files for races with graphical errors and change text files to load them with the click of a button. I for sure won't be doing a manual patch guide on this as it'd require editing multiple text files for multiple zones per race by hand. People already struggle with just GlobalLoad for Luclin models, fuck that :P

I'll see what I can do but if anyone wants to jump ahead and do this before me, be my guest. I can provide a list of the races with graphical errors and the names of the new files you'd have to pluck from a Live install and even the zones they're loaded in so you can set up file edits for an installer.

Does this fix the Sand giant black star on their head? I know i seen this somewhere in the forum but i cant seem to find it again? I just did a fresh install on a new comp and i hate the black star on the sand giant head!!!!

The patcher has run, then I "hit any key to close" the cmd, I reboot EQ, and it still doesn't work, any advise would be grand. I do have the high res textures loaded though.

Thanks

Anyone know of a fix for human male black hair showing through back of chain/scale helmets? I might have missed it in this thread but did not see it. Thanks!

I have an issue with the Woven Tunic (drops in Innothule Swamp) graphic not appearing properly (see screen-shot). The graphic looks like a transparent mesh, rather than an actual tunic.

Extracted the files to my EQ directory, ran the patch via command prompt (as admin), but still no dice. I need to cross my fingers that Woven doesn't share same texture graphic as Damask, because I will have to aim for Damask purely so I can actually have a graphic texture!

Addendum to post above: I asked another player whether they could see the texture graphic for the Woven Tunic, to which they replied, "Looks as though you're doing a CR..."

I think I may have identified a possible trend: any kind of Tunic (providing that the item name ends in Tunic, and is worn in the Body slot) is not displaying a graphic.

- Cloth Tunic
- Silk Tunic
- Woven Tunic

Silk and Woven are not appearing on my Chanter, and Cloth Tunic is not appearing on my alt Warrior. When I play in the Guild Static Group tomorrow, I'll hand over a couple of Tunics to my Guild members to try to see if they have the same issue, and report back on findings with screen-shots.

Interesting to note that the horrid fuchsia training Robe that Casters start with, displays a graphic.

Also, light sources such as Fire Beetle's Eye and Lightstone are displayed as a 'Bag' if held. I'll check the threads because I think that this [light] is a known issue.

[Kinvalar]

- Cloth Tunic
- Silk Tunic
- Woven Tunic


Those are all Cloth non-Robe armors so they don't have a modified texture at all.

Fixed a couple things with the transparency patcher:

Wrote a process that deletes your current .old backups when you run patch_s3d_textures.bat - this was causing reversion issues in the case that you ran the batch multiple times. Basically, if you ran patch_s3d_textures.bat while .old backup files already existed, it would revert to and then apply the transpfix.exe changes to those instead of applying the changes to your current S3Ds. So now you can run it consecutively without losing your current S3Ds.
The Druushk/Cekenar/Lady Nevedaria wing changes to veeshan_chr.s3d were failing due to some undeclared files in patch_s3d_textures.bat - that's also been fixed.

Basically, if you ran patch_s3d_textures.bat while .old backup files already existed, it would revert to and then apply the transpfix.exe changes to those instead of applying the changes to your current S3Ds.

This is how it's supposed to work. If you run the .bat file multiple times it first reverts all of the previous changes so that it doesn't patch the same texture twice. The tool doesn't know and can't know whether a texture has been patched previously and performing this operation on a texture more than once will have unexpected results.

Imagine I have a file with the following numbers:

00010001000

Now lets say that the texture patcher swaps the first '1' encountered to '2' and you get this:

00020001000

If you run the patcher on the same file without replacing it with the original then all of the number '1' get set to '2' instead of just the first one:

00020002000

To clarify: the patcher will definitely and absolutely do weird things to textures if you run it multiple times without reverting to the original first. That's what the .old is for.

[paulgiamatti]

That would certainly explain some of the texture oddities we've been experiencing - I removed the command to purge the .olds and reuploaded. Same link. Thanks for the clarification!

[paulgiamatti]

To clarify: the patcher will definitely and absolutely do weird things to textures if you run it multiple times without reverting to the original first.

Although, now you've got me wondering - what kind of effect would it have? Would it only mess with a texture's transparency, or could it potentially do other things as well?

[Starboy]

Amazing! thanks for the continued updating of textures.

[paulgiamatti]

The tool doesn't know and can't know whether a texture has been patched previously and performing this operation on a texture more than once will have unexpected results.

Logically this makes perfect sense, but it appears to be recognizing when something has already been patched and then skips the patching process for those S3Ds:

http://imgur.com/YrymJ2F.jpg

The left window is the output from running patch_s3d_textures.bat after reverting to stock S3Ds - it sees that stuff hasn't been patched, and lists each file it's writing to. The right window is output from running it a second time after I deleted all of my .old backups.

[Ropethunder]

Although, now you've got me wondering - what kind of effect would it have? Would it only mess with a texture's transparency, or could it potentially do other things as well?

Nothing good. The result will depend entirely on which options are chosen when the tool is run.

See here for some details on the implementation:
https://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?p=259375

[paulgiamatti]

Am I wrong in thinking it's not patching anything when I run the batch file for a second time, after deleting my .old backups? I'm confused as to why it isn't listing the files like it does when initially run against S3Ds that haven't been patched before. On the second pass, it checks for .old files and doesn't find any, then proceeds to patch, but it appears as if it doesn't actually write to anything - which would be a good thing. Am I misunderstanding this?

If you run the .bat file multiple times it first reverts all of the previous changes so that it doesn't patch the same texture twice.

By this you mean it just checks for .old backups and then reverts to those if they exist, correct?

[paulgiamatti]

Further proof:

http://imgur.com/H4uxa8F.jpg

After installing new textures to global4_chr.s3d, it recognized and selectively patched only those textures, while skipping through the rest of the S3Ds. So basically, no matter how many times you run patch_s3d_textures.bat, it will never patch and then repatch the same texture twice.

In light of this I've gone ahead and replaced the .old purge in the batch file.

[Ropethunder]

After installing new textures to global4_chr.s3d, it recognized and selectively patched only those textures, while skipping through the rest of the S3Ds.

On the question of whether or not it patches the answer is: "it depends".

Only SOME forms of texture patching is skipped such as removing magic pink (-mp option) but others which correct things such as black splotches (-rt option) will blindly patch multiple times.

You cannot rely upon the file size to examine these changes as the size may or may not change depending on the supplied options.

I am the author of this tool and I'm telling you that by not reverting to the original before each patch you are adding additional cumulative error; the changes will be subtle at first but increase over time as some palettes are normalized. Don't do it.

I am linking again to my original post which I would encourage you to examine closely:
https://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?p=259375

Textures with a full 8-bit palette will have their first index matched with the nearest color in the palette and will be blended with it at 50% opacity. The old color pixels will then be mapped to the new one, eliminating any pixels being mapped to palette index 0.

Textures with a partial palette like shoes which may have two colors (brown and black, for example), would not be suitable candidates for this solution. Instead, their palettes will be expanded to encompass mapping the old palette color to a new index and all pixels will then be updated accordingly.

[paulgiamatti]

Only SOME forms of texture patching is skipped such as removing magic pink (-mp option) but others which correct things such as black splotches (-rt option) will blindly patch multiple times.

That still doesn't explain why the batch isn't giving me any output for those successive patches though - will it repatch textures without giving output? Take qeynos_chr.s3d, for example - the only parameter passed to transpfx.exe for this S3D is -rt. So there are no -mp changes being done to this S3D at all, and it lists the files it removes transparency from on the first pass when it actually patches them. On the second pass, there are no files being listed in the output, which suggests it's skipping over them.

Would there be a way to definitively check if those textures are being written to despite the lack of output? Is there something I can check in a texture's raw data that would change after it's patched?

[Ropethunder]

I wrote this tool almost six years ago so I'm no longer well versed in its behavior. Some of the code will exit early on certain conditions but others will press on.

A way you can test which options are patching multiple times would be to use a diff tool to compare the old and the new for differences.

This is still not reliable because certain options will react differently depending on the palette of the texture being examined.

There is no good reason to remove the backup/restore functionality as this will ensure that you will always start with a known-good version.

[paulgiamatti]

Well, in any case, if I can find any single instance where a texture has been changed when the batch output says otherwise, then that's enough evidence to disprove my "it will never patch any texture more than once" hypothesis.

There is no good reason to remove the backup/restore functionality as this will ensure that you will always start with a known-good version.

Right, I understand that - I'm just positing that there might actually be no reason at all to start with a known-good version when running patch_s3d_textures.bat, because it might never come across an instance where it would repatch a texture that's already been patched. Will do some more digging - thanks for the explanations!

[paulgiamatti]

In order to apply the fix for everyone they'd have to develop a patching utility that automatically installs all of the regular patch files and applies the transparency fixes as well. Would be great if they could do this eventually and also include all of Zaela's animation fixes (http://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2440378#post2440378). Otherwise, anyone is free to use the transparency patcher & Zaela's utilities to apply the fixes themselves.

Step 2: open up patch_s3d_textures.bat and add lines for it like you the ones you see in there. Need to figure out whether the patch needed is "rt" or "mp"... Try "rt" first.

Probably something like:


set rt_charasis_obj=chbrgrate.bmp

For future reference: .bat is not an executable format in the first place, they are scripts interpreted by cmd.exe. So you'd need to have wine run cmd.exe, then run patch_s3d_textures.bat at the cmd.exe prompt:


wine cmd.exe

Based on your pasted output transpfx.exe ran fine under Wine, you just didn't give it any input. The .bat script just calls transpfx.exe repeatedly with different input strings.

I'm pretty sure your issue isn't causally related to the texture patcher and I've addressed it here: https://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2702168&postcount=12. Another possible culprit could be file corruption - if reinstalling GPU drivers doesn't work, the next step I'd take is obtaining a new copy of Titanium from a reliable source and starting over with your P99 installation.

Technically yes, but you'd lose transparency in the human male classic helm as a consequence. Also, the hole in the back of the human female classic helm is classic, so we wouldn't add it as a change in the transparency patcher even if it was correctable without any side effects.

Yep, here's one way: backup your EQ\global_chr.s3d and open it in EQZip (https://github.com/Shendare/EQZip/releases/download/v1.5.2/EQ-Zip_v1.5.2.zip) and export global_chr.wld. Now load global_chr.wld in Zaela's Transparentifier utility (http://www.shardsofdalaya.com/WLDEditorSuite.7z), find HELM15_MDF in the left pane, replace its visibility flag binary with 10000000000000000000000000010100 and click Apply Edit. Now reimport global_chr.wld into EQ\global_chr.s3d using EQZip and overwrite, File -> Save. Note: I haven't tested this so let me know if anything weird happens, theoretically it should just disable that texture's transparency.

I ran this and now my lovely eye of zomm is white again...but ran into spectres in Qeynos Aquaduct that have the Human model. Related?

Hello,

Very excited for this but alas it isn't working for me. It says 'patch successful' in the batch file command prompt window but before that it says the following (to give one example, though it seems to do this in every case):

Making backup file veeshan_obj.s3d.old..
Access is denied.
0 files copied.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony\Everquest\veeshan_obj.s3d
Access is denied.
Patching veeshan_obj.s3d..
transpfx: Invalid input or no file found


At the top it merely says

transpfx: Invalid input or no file found


Am I doing something wrong? If I've missed something obvious or made a stupid mistake or whatever, please excuse my tech noobness

Thanks.

run the batch from an admin command prompt. Since your install is in program files it's a "protected directory" so you need admin rights to modify files within it.

From like Windows 8 onward you can just right click the Start button and choose Command Prompt (Admin).

Done, thanks!

That is why some people install P99 somewhere outside of program files.

Alright so I ran patch_s3d_textures in the administrator command prompt ('cmd', right click 'run as administrator') and also ran patch_s3d_textures.bat (the first time I forgot to add .bat to the command in the command prompt). Unfortunately my barbarian's helm horns still have black spots on them. Anyone else have this issue? I ran patch_s3d_textures.bat a second time later as well.

Just ran it again so I could post what shows up in the command prompt. For most of the entries (at least toward the end -- there are a lot of entries) it says something like the following:

Patching veeshan_obj.s3d..
veeshan_obj\nerbraz.bmp


There is one instance where it says something different from what I can see scrolling up:

Patching veeshan_chr.s3d..
transpfx: Multiple files encountered where only one was expected
Patch failed. Restoring old veeshan_chr.s3d..
1 file(s) copied.



Again please excuse my tech noobness and please accept my thanks for making this fix in the first place! (Whatever nitpicks I have aside I'm extremely grateful for the fix which seems perfect aside from this one small cosmetic issue)

[mcoy]

You can right click the command prompt window's titlebar and choose properties and then increase the height buffer under layout so you can see the entire output:

Alternatively, you can add "> c:\temp\filename.txt" (without quotes, and call the filename whatever you want) and it should dump all the output text to that file which you can then more easily search.

[Kaa]

Thanks. Worked.

veeshan_chr.s3d appears to be the one file that doesn't patch successfully. I guess I just have to get used to the black spots on my barbarian's helm horns.

Thanks for your help guys.

[Umer Abdul]

Thanks for sharing this!!

I didn't put these in the batch file format, but these are a few more textures that needed fixing in the low-res texture set: The oven/kiln doors all around, the fire pillars in Hate, and the torn tapestries in ToFS.

transpfx.exe gequip.s3d -mp ovendoor.bmp
transpfx.exe hateplane.s3d -mp fppil4.bmp
transpfx.exe hateplane.s3d -mp fpface.bmp

Anyone have issues with a slow wolf form running animation? Strafe, back pedal, fighting seems normal, but running forward animation is slow on my screen.

[phloridaman]

Also, one I noticed... plate on wood elves gives them the black neck.

I think wood elves have always had black around the joints for plate armor.

[Pyrocat]

Bump.

Female wood elf plate helms still have the black visor.

Female half elf plate helms have the hair sticking through.

Are either of these things fixable?

[darkreap]

Anyone having problems with the download?

[Ooloo]

I wish this was somehow fixable. I'm sick of my barb horns having black splotches on them :(

Not to mention the walls of the cottage in qeynos hills barf

[inhumansolus]

So I downloaded a different file that gave me high def textures, but there is one thing I do not like:

The half elf helmets have the slot for the eyes to be shown and I would like to revert back to no eye slot.

Any one know how to change this?

I believe it should be as simple as commenting out the line calling to edit the half elf helm transparency.

Since you have already used the patcher, the cleanest way to do this would be to restore the original files which were modified by the patcher.

For this particular case, the file in question is:

global_chr.s3dNow, using a text editor, open the .bat file for the patcher. Mine is named patch_s3d_textures.bat.

Towards the top of the file change:

rem Enable transparencies for half elf male plate helmet
set mp_global_chr=helm24.bmpto

rem Enable transparencies for half elf male plate helmet
rem set mp_global_chr=helm24.bmp Save the changes made to the .bat file and run the patcher again.

It has been quite a while since I have worked on this particular project, so someone else might have another option or opinion. Good luck!

[Nedala]

So i tried this and my dwarf paladin still has black feet which are supposed to be blue (one part of the boots appears blue) - other have told me for them its blue. why is it not working for me? :(

may it conflict with high-res textures?

[Nedala]

16640 this is how it looks since i got scaled knight's boots. The boots before were ok. if anyone knows a fix for this i'd be very happy. Tried fresh installation and fresh installation + texture patcher, but it didnt help.

[Gorgowned]

I hope this question hasn't been asked 100 times already, but when I run the .bat file it tells me that 'Required file "transpfx.exe" could not be found'. Both files were extracted to my Everquest folder, which is at C:\Everquest. I've tried running the batch and exe as Administrator and using the command prompt to open it. Transpfx.exe is sitting right there in the folder, taunting me. Sorry for being a complete tech newbie, but any help would be appreciated!

I recently reinstalled the game and set up to play again. I'm having a few issues. Gonna take them on one at a time.

At the moment, I want to fix my black feet. It seems the link in the OP, "http://www.project1999.com/files/transparencypatcher.zip" is no longer functional.

I have tried downloading the zip file from both my home and work PCs, but to no avail. Is there another location to get the transparency patch?

[Afp75]

I am trying to update the textures and the link list does nothing.
or is there a new link I'm missing?

[Kennyref]

Link still not working.

[bivouac]

I managed to download the texture patcher from an archive.org snapshot (http://web.archive.org/web/20220516064326/http://www.project1999.com/files/transparencypatcher.zip) of the link in the OP.

[Fizzletrix]

i used this , after wards i crash at character select.
i got the download from the wayback machine is there a more recent one ?

[Tkon]

I have a 2019 copy of this (.bat) file and a 2011 version of the .exe. I'm trying to figure out if I can apply this to specific files outside of the packaged .s3d. I'd imagine I can just point it to a directory and just have a single group? I'll look more into this and report back.

[Clowngirl96]

Hi I'm new here will this ever be reuploaded?

[ya.dingus]

fix where. FIX WHERE?

[iampankaj]

I enjoyed this site. It was very easy to use and functional. The buttons are easy to find. I think this is a very good site and will continue to use it.
