dark_apprentice Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 I have decided to try out some "new" textures over the TIE Fighter model for JKA. I do have ModView installed and I have followed all the instructions from here. But when I have loaded inside ModView the "model.glm" file for the TIE Fighter vehicle it says R_LoadImage(): Couldn't read image: "models/map_objects/ships/tie_fighter_body" ... continue receiving this message for this model?Before I started anything, I've made entire new clean folder to do all this and this is how it looks at the moment:D:/JKA/Modelling/base/models/players/_humanoidD:/JKA/Modelling/base/models/players/map_objectsD:/JKA/Modelling/base/models/players/tie_fighterIn ModView, I go to "File/New", than I go in "D:/JKA/Modelling/base/models/players/tie_fighter" --> x2 click on "model.glm" and the TIE Fighter is loaded, but it's just white (no textures at all). At the same moment ModView shows me this message above on the Quote i have mentioned.I have tried to refresh it by clicking the button with "TEX" on it - still the same. I tried to do all of it again - same result, I have checked out the "model_default.skin" file and everything is correct in there.What could be the problem?! I want to test the new textures in ModView. Link to comment
dark_apprentice Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 Now it even says: Error JPEG read error: Requested feature was omitted at compile time Link to comment
Xycaleth Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Make sure your JPEG image does not have progressive rendering enabled. JKA and ModView do not support this feature of JPEG. Link to comment

minilogoguy18 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Folder structure is wrong, the base folder should be on the root of the drive. Example: D:/base/models/players/_humanoid/ This way you can use everything including the compilers without trouble. Your folder structure in short should be identical to the games source files and assets. If you look at certain files in notepad like animation.cfg files you'll see this structure was used at compile time. It's not a problem with the JPEG image either since you're trying to load a base asset like the TIE fighter. Link to comment

(JKA is the folder where i have installed my Jedi Academy game. But instead of doing it all inside the "GameData/Base" folders I made one new folder for editing the textures - "Modelling/base" and just copy/paste there the "_humanoid" folder from assets1.pk3 D:/JKA/Modelling/base/models/players/_humanoid Link to comment
minilogoguy18 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Doesn't matter what you want to do, for most of the tools to work properly the folder structure has to be set up the way I said in my post, that's why the TIE fighter will not load. dark_apprentice likes this Link to comment

I tried with some character models and it worked perfect, also tried with some basic JKA models as Kyle, Desann and Luke - all of them work perfect and I am able to see their textures. TIE fighter still comes up all white with no textures o.O Link to comment
minilogoguy18 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 You probably don't have the folder structure right. The textures go in: /models/map_objects/ships/ The model goes in: /models/players/tie_fighter/ When I said that the folder structure must be IDENTICAL that's what I meant. Look at models' skin files to see where the textures should go. dark_apprentice likes this Link to comment
Archangel35757 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 You can specify your custom base path in the ModView preferences. Link to comment
minilogoguy18 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Yeah but for most other things it's far simpler to just mimic the folder structure used in the assets as well as what's seen in certain files where Raven did this same thing by putting the base folder at the root of the drive.

Xycaleth Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 How could I know that and do it?When you save your JPEG image in your image editing program, there's usually some extra settings you can set before it gets saved. Sometimes there will just be a checkbox you can untick (as in Photoshop), sometimes it will be hidden away in the "Advanced Settings" which you need to reveal to show the checkbox. Link to comment
dark_apprentice Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 @@minilogoguy18 that is how i have structured them from the beginning, based on the skin file. Thanks guys It's all good now! Link to comment
dark_apprentice Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 Ok here is an update I've made on the textures and put it over a background to look more fancy. The only problem at the moment is, that when I want to spawn the vehicle the game crashes saying this what can I do to fix this. TIE Fighter model opens perfectly in ModView and the textures are on. Thanks in advance guys! Link to comment
Xycaleth Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Did you re-save your jpeg textures without progressing feature enabled? Link to comment
minilogoguy18 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Seems like you just used the wrong command to spawn the vehicle, it says it right there in the console... Link to comment
Circa Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 That error is because of an image saved as progressive, as has been stated multiple times. simply choosing "standard" instead of "progressive" in Photoshop or GIMP will fix this issue. Link to comment
