How to change a texture:

Quote:

1. Back up your 'textures.big' file (found in: \Fable\data\graphics\pc )
2. Fire up FableExplorer (FE) and open textures.big.
3. Find the texture you want to change
4. Click 'save as' and save the texture as an .bmp (or something else, I recommend .png)
5. Open the texture with Photoshop (or a different program) and change it as you like.
6. Save the changed texture as an .bmp again (or something else, as long as FE can read it of course)
7. Now in FE in the window of the texture click 'open new'
8. Click 'browse' and select the texture you changed.
9. Click 'open' (make sure the import format is DXT1)
10. Now in FE in the window of the texture change the 'Alpha' to 0.
11. Click 'apply changes'
12. Click 'Actions' and 'Save Mods and Run Fable'

For changing tattoos and hair textures (Alpha enabled textures), set import DXT3 and Alpha to 1.
Of course you'll have to use a file format that supports alpha enabled textures, like .png

This way has never failed me...

I like how no one can be depended on to follow instructions.

Okay... that really doesn't leave much room for any ideas. Is there an error message or anything like that? Saying what you did really doesn't help. Can you recount how exactly you did it? Otherwise you just need to try again and double check to make sure you did things right. Confused

Read the site rules, as well as individual thread rules, stickies and announcements, and use search, or you will have smartassy or exasperated ownage rained down upon you by the site's crack team of mods and admins. Also, you can find all you need to get started on modding here.

Hey, I was wondering, are weapon textures found in textures.big?, (its probably a stupid question), but I cannot find any weapon textures anywhere, I have literally been looking through the whole thing for about an hour now and no luck. Please help?

They are in the textures.big, scroll down about 2/3 of the way, under [\DEV\BBBPROJECTS\FABLE1_5RELEASE\FABLE\RESOURCES\ART3\WORLD \OBJECTS\TEXTURE\SILVERKEY.TGA].

Are you using Vista/Win7? Could it be a 'virtual store' issue?

Delete your virtual store just to be sure, then try.

Read the site rules, as well as individual thread rules, stickies and announcements, and use search, or you will have smartassy or exasperated ownage rained down upon you by the site's crack team of mods and admins. Also, you can find all you need to get started on modding here.

Actually, don't delete the store, delete any fable stuff from it, it's located at C:\Users\user account name here\AppData\Local\VirtualStore.

Lol, I did the same thing a few years ago. Didn't think of it until you said it though. We need to remember that for next time.
