Hacking Smash Wii U .gtx texture convert

[mastaklo]

i managed to extract the textures from the model.nut as .gtx files
also with this tool you can convert the .gtx to .dds
https://github.com/NWPlayer123/WiiUTools/tree/master/TexHaxU

so my question is how would i get the edited .dds texture back to .gtx?

 

[Mega-Mew]

TexHaxU is for bfres file, Sm4sh doesn't use bfres (and model.nut have no .gtx file)

 

[mastaklo]

model.nut has .gtx files

i extracted them and converted the .gtx to .dds with TexHaxU

only need to know how to convert .dds to .gtx now

Impossible

Can you show me the converted texture ?

 

[mastaklo]

this is a gtx i extracted from the .nut
you can convert it with TexHaxU
should be some part of sonic

I know how to change back the texture into the file, but it can't work with nut file, did you have the path of the file ?

 

[mastaklo]

what path of which file you mean?
the one i send you is from fighter\sonic\model\body\c00\model.nut

I don't know how you can get it working, for me he does, nothing with nut file.

 

[mastaklo]

i extracted it manually with a hex editor

so you can tell me how to get the edited .dds back in .gtx?

The tool do it itself, it convert the dds to a gtx and inject it to the file, so if TexHaxU don't detect the gtx in the file, the conversion cannot be done...
Maybe @NWPlayer123 can try to update it ?

 

[mastaklo]

would be greate if @NWPlayer123 could update it
doing it manually is pretty time consuming
and i still didnt got it right
but its something

A tool can manage texture from nut file, but not TexHaxU

 

[mastaklo]

which tool?

 

[Mega-Mew]

which tool?

idk, I have not sought.
But you can search on the models/textures ressources

All Wii U games use GTX because that's how GX2 handles textures, you just need to do the same steps hax.py does, you convert the DDS to GTX, then I edit the swizzle manually, then run it thru TexConv2 again to get the right format (I'd have to look at the QuickBMS extract script to see how it gets swizzle metadata), which also generates the mipmaps since there are almost always some, then you just splice the data back in. I'd need a bunch of examples to try anything, and I've never touched Smash before.

1. Download QuickBMS
2. Download this script
3. Download my Pack
4. Put the .nut file in your folder
5. Launch BMS and select your script with your .nut file
6. Tranfer all the modelX.gtx files in the "Convert" folder
7. Launch "convertGTX.exe"
8. The DDS files should be in the OutDDS folder

Enjoy


EDIT: btw I still don't know to convert back the DDS to gtx to nut

EDIT 2: Nvm I used my brain

EDIT 3: Okay now I just need to convert the gtx into .nut

so you think youll be able to do it?
i can send you some nut files if you dont have them

Is there a solution to repacking the files as .nut yet? I barely grasped the concept of turning them into .dds and now I have a 90% complete Donald Trump Ganondorf skin that i won't be able to use ((
