Missing tga files [Solved]

Post by MidnightSpirit »

Hi, I am working on a map in which I am using mygeeto and hoth assets to seem to have run into an issue.

A handful of assets in particular are having the same problem
-hoth_prop_trench_short
-hoth_prop_trench_turrets
-myg1_bldg_med_spiral_ruin
-myg1_bldg_small_spiral_ruin1
-myg1_bldg_small_spiral_ruin2

They are missing some of the textures for the rubble on the buildings, and the trenches have no texture at all.

Mygeeto Spiral

Hoth Trench (No idea why the trench has pink lines around it, but it hasn't caused any issues that I know of)

I went looking for tga files in the assets folders of hoth and mygeeto and haven't found anything that would fix this.
This is probably simple and not worth a thread post but I didn't see anything directly related to this in the FAQ.
Anyone have a solution?

Did you try looking in the world1 folders as well and not just the MSH folders?

Yes, I searched the world1 folder for the tgas and did not find them. Unless they are named something completely different. I searched trench and spiral and rubble but no tgas popped up that are not already in the folders I have.

Open up the MSH files using either Notepad or a hex editor, and use the Ctrl + F key combination to find all instances of .tga to get the names of the .tga files used by those models that you should be looking for. The .tga files don't always use the same or similar names as the names of the actual MSH files, so that's probably why you're not finding them.

Downloaded a hex editor and went digging.
Found all of the tgas that I needed, thank you very much! Also thanks for having the patience to walk me through an easy problem. :D
