Texture patcher - Fix transparent visors/black feet etc

[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. Otherwise, anyone is free to use the transparency patcher & Zaela's utilities to apply the fixes themselves.

Any chance Crown of Narandi will get some kind of a graphic? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

After 17 years? No.

Thank You for doing this, all.
I like the game more than ever. I can make out the text better than before. Some of the colored text was always difficult for me to read.

What would I need to do to fix the grey blocks on the firepots in howling scar?

I am certain these should be transparent.

Step 1: figure out which texture it is. Looks to be chbrgrate.bmp in charasis_obj.s3d.

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

...

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

Thank you guys! <3

Will it be worth me reinstalling the HD character graphics after running the transparency patcher to ensure no unwanted artefacts occur?
