Facial Expressions - Texture Limit 256 x 256

I believe that last offset of 256 x 256 SJ found in the texture Hi-Res fix is for facial expressions.

I am working a model for Beckett for an upcoming map and the face is 1024 x 1024. The model's face and mouth FACE_EXP texture is 1024 x 2048, the game won't load it. The max is 256 x 256, taken directly from the FAQ pages

" All Textures must be 16, 32, 64, 128 or 256 pixels, square."

It's been a while since I messed with the dissassembler(Hex Editor), any help would be greatly appreciated.

Easy way to test is to bump up martin brenner's face expression to 512 x 512 and load it. You might have to modify the MissionSkins.dat - face tex size for that model.


 

I feel like I walked into the middle of a conversation.

Can you be more specific which offset you are talking about?

err.

It seems the targa hack has been implimented in the latest release and has fixed the Facial Expression problem.

I need confirmation that the targa hack has been implimented and it is not just my original hack that I was working on last year.

My modding rig errors, while the gaming rig doesn't.

In addition, if you modify the MissionSkins.dat - face tex size for that model the game ingores the entire line and loads the rest of the file.
The value for the face tex size has a max of 256, anything else and the line is ignored.

Sorry I didn't reply sooner. I didn't notice that you replied.

Yup Targa hack is in the mod now.
