Skin with Hex Edit ends in low quality

Post by Benoz »

Dear Community,

I'm working on an era mod and need more skins for the same model (the models refer all to the same rep_inf_ep3trooper.tga file)
"OverrideTexture" doesn't work on the rep_inf_ep3trooper so I downloaded XVI32 and tried it by
changing the tga the MESH refers to via HEX.

I'm new at HEX-Editing so it could probably be my fault, but when I load the MESH-file in SWBF Viewer,
it looks like it should: New Skin, High Res, no discomforts...
But when I load the game and select the unit, the skin looks totally bad and LowRes.
Here is the picture of the mesh I changed the tga with XVI32:

And here is it in game, compared with the normal trooper without any editing:

Here's what I do in the HEX-editing program:
I search for the line where the refering tga-file stands and replace it with the new one, that has exactly the same characters as the previous one.

I hope for a quick reply,
