GUESS WHAT!!! a tutorial for rayman origins texture mods like how i made uglette

this is for origins only for now, ill make a separate post for legends later (but itd follow most of the same steps)

first of all. use rayman control panel, if you dont have it somehow then what are you waiting for?? make sure its updated to the latest update too (14.0.0.9 as of writing this) for improved modding support

updated on january 10 2024 for the dds portion

-

step 1: getting the textures

in control panel, click origins and then open the archive explorer

youll get a whole directory of a bunch of folders, what you need for the textures is just the itf_cooked folder. if you want all the textures just right click the folder, click export & convert, and convert them to png or something for convenience

if you converted all the images and dont need any things that arent images, just use windows search on the extracted folder to prune all the remaining .ckd files to save on space, but this isnt as necessary

you can also extract just the sprites you want to work with, or heck get them from spriters resource if you want, but still keep control panel in mind as you need the original directory of the files

if you want to replace the playable characters, their textures are are in the following folders

rayman sprites: itf_cooked/pc/actor/playablecharacter/rayman/animation globox sprites (you will also need mosquito sprites for him): itf_cooked/pc/actor/playablecharacter/globox/animation itf_cooked/pc/world/common/shooter/playablecharacter/shootermoskitoglob/animation teensy sprites: itf_cooked/pc/world/1_jungleworld/friendly/teensy/animation ui icons for everyone: itf_cooked/pc/world/common/ui/ui_bar

-

step 2: the art itself

once you have the original textures all you need to do is to edit them, or redraw them. this may be a tedious process though! what i did is painstakingly edit each original spritesheet to be 2x size, then aliased to put it into a format that i can easily work with and edit, i mostly did so with a whole bunch of magic wand usage and tweaks

i did finish all the templates for all playable characters, i will see if i can release them somehow eventually? but yeah for now figure out your own way to edit them for now

either way you can figure out some way to draw new art for them. save it in a folder separate from all the other assets obviously. here for example i made a more rayman 3-like grand mimimus. i also frankensteined an icon together

-

step 3: dds things

now that youve done the textures for the mod, duplicate them and save them as .dds files

this isnt necessary, as larger resolutions will also work (probably as long as the dimensions are still a power of 2), but you can resize the textures to the original resolution as well. i will be doing that personally

if you dont have a program that supports dds files, i just use paint.net. i provide a save configuration for it specifically, you can get it here if you need

this is updated!!! after much experimenting this one looks the best to me. the most important settings are outlined in orange, but try to match the rest too

make sure you have generate mipmaps on specifically or else the sprite will end up pixelly

however some additional, more jpeg-y crust will be applied onto the sprite from the mipmaps themselves. so heres the technical part thats probably complicated... if you dont wanna bother with this try to copy the rest of my save configuration, i think it works the best here

i experimented a bit with what looked best and picked fant with no gamma correction, but you can try saving multiple dds files with different settings, viewing them with whatever lets you view the mipmaps themselves (windows image viewer does) and just picking which looks better at a smaller scale

(to see the differences look closely at the eyes specifically, its probably hard without overlaying these one over another and directly comparing though)

one thing i can say is bicubic and fant are definitely the best for matching the original sprites' mipmaps, as theyre not too blurry (like bicubic smooth or bilinear) while remaining fairly good looking

these are the original dds files' settings as viewed in dxt viewer. most of this doesnt seem to be applicable for the save settings but the compressed format is specifically dxt3 (which is also present in its header if you view it in hxd), so for the first save setting you probably have to pick BC2 (Linear, DXT3) as i have

TLDR: i know this is complicated, try to just copy the dds save configuration from the start of this step i guess???

-

step 4: renaming things

once you have done that, the weird thing you need to do is to rename the .dds into files that the game can actually read (even though theyre still dds files, and can be renamed back to .dds for them to function). for convenience you can just duplicate the files again

pay attention to the original file formats which you can see in control panel! as you can see, you should rename the majority of the extensions from .dds to .tga.ckd

windows will stop recognizing them, likely the same for the programs you use, but that shouldnt be a big deal. if you want, you can rename them back to .dds to make them usable

the important part here, dont miss it!!! is that all the ui icons are not tga.ckd, but png.ckd!!! even though theyre actually still dds files under the surface. just rename them correctly and pay attention to the right extension, or else the icon wont work

obviously make sure they have the same filename in general ALONGSIDE the extension

-

step 5: actually making the mod

now that you have the relevant files, click create mod in control panel

select the files module, and then make and select a folder to use as the mod folder, which should give you this result

the files folder should have these two

you should create a GameData folder in added_files, after which the entire regular filepath follows, starting from bundle_PC.ipk, then itf_cooked, then so on. for example, these are (nearly) the full directories of my files

\mod\files\added_files\GameData\bundle_PC.ipk\itf_cooked\pc\world\1_jungleworld\friendly\teensy\animation\teensy_a1.tga.ckd \mod\files\added_files\GameData\bundle_PC.ipk\itf_cooked\pc\world\1_jungleworld\friendly\teensy\animation\teensy_e1.tga.ckd \mod\files\added_files\GameData\bundle_PC.ipk\itf_cooked\pc\world\common\ui\ui_bar\ui_bar_teensy_a3.png.ckd

obviously all the textures should have the same filename and the same file path as the textures theyre replacing

then go back to the base mod folder and edit the metadata.jsonc file in something like notepad++. the file itself has commented-in extensive instructions so just follow them

as the mod creator thingy says you can also optionally create a thumbnail

anyway once youve done all of that, select all the files in your mod folder and zip them. you cant just select the folder WITH the mod things and then zip that, as then control panel wont read it because the base of the zip directory doesnt have the metadata file

-

step 6: finally implementing the mod!!!

now that you have the zip ready, click the mod loader and select this in the lower left corner

navigate to your zip and select it. it should appear here under installed mods

make sure you press the checkmark to the left of it and then press the apply button in the lower right

after a short wait for the mods to apply you can go turn on the game and test it

and it should hopefully work !

also yeah ill release the minimus soon enough on gamebanana

if you want to make any further edits to the textures, youd have to resave them as .dds files again, and rename them to tga.ckd/png.ckd and such, then just replace them in the mod's directory (or add new files to it) and just zip it again. its fairly easy to work with i hope

this is overall kind of a complicated tutorial but its not too bad once you get the hang of it

How to Start a Podcast

Part 1

The second article Sydney kindly gave me is How to Start a Podcast by buzzsprout. Buzzsprout is also a hosting site, which you need when you start a podcast, so they have to know their stuff (according to the article, since 2009 they've helped three hundred thousand podcasts launch, which is impressive).

Buzzsprout breaks the process into ten actionable steps.

Develop a concept.

Define goals

Pick a theme/topic (they provide a whopping seventy-five in this article linked)

Find a niche

Name it (they have provided this article for further reading)

2. Choose a format

I didn't think about this before I read this article, but there are different ways to present podcasts- the article mentions interview, cohosted, scripted non-fiction, news, educational, and scripted fiction (and I will provide audio drama help as I conduct my own research and get information from podcasters about it).

The article goes over the 'optimal' podcast episode length, with some statistics, but the only thing that seems to be important they put in the first sentence: "Make your episodes as long as they need to be and no longer."

They also talk about an episode release schedule, with more stats.

3. Set up recording equipment

Of course they talk about microphones, including another article all about that aspect of podcasting, but apparently there are different types of microphones. I never knew that. They go somewhat in-depth about the different kinds, so I'll leave the technical reading to you.

4. Choose software

The article also talks about different software, from recording to editing. They give a few different options in the article, with links to each. I'm not sure if they get commissions based on how many people click through, so I'll leave you to go there to give them some love.

5. Record your first episode.

The article further breaks the process into smaller steps.

A) Write an outline (with further reading that includes templates)

B) Pick your recording room wisely

Before Sydney's post, I didn't know that sound travels different off of hard and soft surfaces, though I guess in retrospect I should have figured (echos in canyons, for example). I didn't realize it would make a big difference, but I guess it does.

C) Connect your equipment and set up your software

This is important- make sure you hit 'record' and everything's plugged in, folks.

D) Microphone technique

If you're going to speak into a microphone, learn to do it right.

E) Test different recording styles

Test for quality.

6. Edit

They provide an article for further reading. In the main article, they break it into broad steps.

A) Make sure the intro and outro are engaging

Hook the listener right away.

B) Edit for content, then everything else.

Start with big cuts, then move smaller.

C) Fade between tracks

Apparently, cutting audio can sometimes make clicks and pops in the recording. Who knew?

D) Create a punch list

I guess this is a to-do list.

Then when all that's done, you export it! They throw a bit of technical jargon at you (what the heck is an ID3 tag?) but thankfully, it seems to be fairly simple with this podcasting host site. I'm not sponsored by them, it just seems easy enough for beginners.

7. Create podcast artwork.

They also include five tips for that.

A) Visually communicate the subject

B) Design for a variety of sizes

C) Don't use too many words or fonts

D) Avoid 'podcast imagery' (microphones, for example)

E) Keep your brand consistent

They provide a few sites for people to create artwork, so that's cool.

8. Set up podcast hosting

To be honest, this confused the Hell out of me. But there are a few videos about it they linked at the end of the step, so feel free to read the full article and watch them.

9. Get listed in podcast directories

More technical stuff, but I guess that you need the last step- hosting- to actually get onto Spotify or Apple podcasts or any other site/app.

10. Launch and grow

The article goes over two ways to launch- grand and soft- and a few other things like imposter syndrome. It talks about seven marketing tips.

A) Tell friends and family

B) Create a buzzsprout ad

C) Post episodes on social media

D) Join groups and forums

E) Cross-promote with other podcasters

F) Overcast ads

G) Create a call to action

The article also recommends celebrating, and I'm always down for a celebration. Don't be embarrassed it's about your own achievements, or feel like it's needlessly self-congratulatory or self-centered. It seems like a ton of work, so give yourself some credit!

Common Mistakes in Import and Export Business (How to Avoid Them)

Import Export Industry is quite possibly the most prospering industry occupied with giving significant yields or benefits. The most common way of selling and buying products is not new, yet it is performed for quite a long time when shippers used to exchange their labor and products starting with one country and then onto the next.

The lone thing which has changed now in the realm of import and fare is the simplicity of working together, better vehicle the executives and openings at a bigger degree with great help from the public authority to advance the fare of labor and products starting with one country then onto the next country.

What are the normal missteps in the Import-Export business and how to stay away from them?

There is a portion of the normal slip-ups in the import send-out business. These have been examined beneath alongside the plans for how to keep away from them:

1. Marking a Contract without affirming the authenticity of the Seller or the Buyer

Large numbers of the little brokers and producers in India wish to extend their business worldwide by taking part in import send-out exchange, yet once in a while, they don't give a lot of significance to checking the unwavering quality of the merchant.

Because of such obliviousness, the organization may go into danger of implying themselves into more misfortunes. Many organizations attempt to draw and inveigle the merchant of exporters by giving phony organization profiles and item portfolios. Understanding the client is a right, be it on the homegrown market or the global market.

Checking the authenticity of the purchaser or vendor with legitimate government officials assists the business with limiting the dangerous factor and assists with expanding the benefit. Consequently, marking an agreement without affirming the authenticity of the merchant or purchaser should not be finished.

2. Absence of Import Export Knowledge

A typical disadvantage that the little and medium undertakings face is the origination that they can undoubtedly supply the items in the worldwide market without confronting any misfortunes. Be that as it may, the absence of information on the import trade guidelines would bring about incredible trouble than anticipated.

The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) has carried out specific terms to ensure that the import send out business is performed flawlessly with fewer dangers and at a high overall revenue. It is a must to comprehend the import trade guidelines before venturing into the universe of worldwide business to be on a more secure side and keep away from the danger of punishments.

3. Incompetent Customs Broker increases the risk of losing money

The traditions intermediary plays out an obligation to ensure that every one of the organizations done in the import sends out industry cling to the severe standards and standards of the public authority of both the nations, i.e., the spot of the nation of both the merchant and the exporter.

An inept traditions representative would bring about making incredible misfortunes in the business if the reports are not checked and met with the legitimate standards on schedule.

Thus, it is important for organizations that take part in import send out the exchange to contact a solid traditions agent after the confirmation from the skilled position to ensure that every one of the necessities of the organizations is met effortlessly with problem-free documentation and a traditions merchant is completely mindful of all the administrative work which is needed to supply the items.

4. Understand the Regulations of the Country

Quite possibly the most widely recognized mix-ups in import send out business is that the exporter while providing the products to the far-off nations is feeling that anything can be provided to the unfamiliar nations. Nonetheless, in actuality, it isn't accurate. At a point when an item is associated with an Import Export exchange, certain nations have their standards which permit just a couple of items and limit the bringing in of different products from another country.

It is fundamental for the exporter to comprehend these standards which would assist him with saving a lot of cash and its items simultaneously.

5. Absence of Familiarity with Incoterms

Incoterms implies International Commercial Terms, which is probably the most straightforward term characterized by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) to make the fare of import of merchandise starting with one country and then onto the next simpler. The Incoterms utilizes shortenings like FAS-free of charge close by transport, FOB free of charge ready, FCA with the expectation of complimentary conveys, EXW for ex-works, and so on.

On the off chance that a business will participate in import send out exchange, know about these Incoterms as it would assist with defeating the dangers of taking care of products and giving a more secure approach to exchange with the assistance of legitimate documentation, in this way setting aside sufficient cash.

6. Protected Goods Imported or Supplied

The critical factor in the import send-out exchange which ensures that the products imported or provided will reach securely or on the other hand if any harm or misfortune happens is to protect the merchandise before it is dispatched, either from the shipper's side or from the transportation authority.

The protection of the merchandise is prudent throughout exchanging labour and products in an unfamiliar market to get the items which should be possible effectively through the documentation between the representative and the shipment organization. On the off chance that the products are not protected, it may bring about horrendous misfortunes for the merchandise just as the capital.

Conclusion

To be an effective provider or purchaser in the Import-Export Industry, the errors referenced above ought to stay away from. It does not just assist you with making an impression in the unfamiliar soil effectively yet additionally saves your organization in getting the dangers of losing cash and thus assists you with expanding the benefits.

Angerey's ultimate Fmodel NSR Tutorial!!! (Models and Textures)

Do you want to extract files from No Straight Roads? This post is for you! (audio tut link at bottom of the post) This was for @gamebunny-advance, but anyone can use this!!

Installing Fmodel and setting up

Download Fmodel on this page.

Once it's downloaded and installed, boot it up. You'll get this prompt once you open it, and it'll ask you to add a game directory. Press "Add undetected file".

Then, input C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\No Straight Roads as the directory, and name it "No Straight Roads".

And Voila!

Next, you'll need a VERY important step for some of the views to work.

Go to the settings tab in the menu, and look at UE Versions. It should be set to UE4_23. If not, you may have some issues with exporting.

Now that that's out of the way, it's time for exporting!

Models

Viewing a model is actually pretty easy! Mayday will be our volunteer for this one. First, go to NoStraightRoads > Content > _NoStraightRoads > Characters > 00_Mayday > SkelMesh.

Upon opening it, you will see this:

To view her model, open SK_00_CH_Mayday, and ta-dah! There she is!

You can extract any of these files by saving the model as a psk asset, and open them on blender. (here is the add-on for opening psk assets on blender!)

As for the animations, I don't know how to view them, but you can extract them the same way if you want to play around with those. Sorry, I'm not super knowledgeable about game animation!

Textures

By far the easiest to get, and crucial for viewing models on blender, or seeing some pictures in clearer detail!

DJSS will be our example this time.

Go to NoStraightRoads > Content > _NoStraightRoads > Textures > Characters > 04_DjGalaxy

There! Select any file, and the texture will be pictured!

You can save it by right clicking and selecting save image.

There are TONS of textures to look through, so go crazy!

Audio file tutorial here!

HOW 2 MOD MAD RAT DEAD ON SWITCH! PART 1: MUSIC!

If at any point you need more information or further assistance, drop me an ask or direct message! Even if it's something 'stupid' don't worry, I'll help :)

What you'll need:

A copy of the game in .nsp or .xci format

Switch Explorer

Sonic Audio Tools

VGAudio

Audacity (My recommendation, alternatives may work)

Switch explorer is used to extract the files from the game to be modded

Sonic audio tools is used to extract the .acb archives the songs (.hca files) are packed in, and to pack the files back in

VGAudio is used to convert the .hca files (the actual audio files) to .wav to be opened and edited in audacity, and to convert them back to .hca before being repacked

Lastly, audacity is used to edit the .wav files to put whatever you want into the files, completely replace it's contents or whatever, go wild

Did any of that make sense to you? no? Good, keep reading.

LET'S GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD!

I'll add like a pastebin link here later with every song's internal number so you can easily find the one you're looking for and extract it, too lazy right now tho :P

Open switch explorer, choose to load up your nsp/xci of the game (file > open) and navigate to data > sound

then, find the song you wish to edit and right click > extract file, then drop it in a good spot for later

Afterwards, open two file explorer windows, one in the sonic audio tools folder and the other where you extracted the .acb file. We do this so you can easily drag the .acb into the ACBeditor.exe found in the sonic audio tools folder:

this will produce a folder in the same directory as the .acb sharing its name, and inside you will find your .hca files:

these are the actual audio files, but we can't edit them yet, because no program knows what to do with a .hca! First, we need to convert them to .wav files, so boot up VGAudio, click open file, pick the .hca file (you need to repeat this process for all 4+ files), choose to convert to WAVE and hit save file.

wherever you saved it, you now have a .wav of the audio file, feel free to give it a listen! If it's just silence, don't worry, some of the songs are like that.

Now these files require a little explanation, the one ending in 0 to 2 are all related to the song's into, opening, and cut scene loops, basically everything you stop hearing once you've started playing the level properly. The file ending in a 3 is the main loop, the part that plays so long as you keep playing through the level. In some rare cases, there will be even more files, or less! I haven't done enough of my own research yet, so you can come to your own conclusions on those, shouldn't be hard to figure out once you get how these work.

Anyways, now that that's outta the way, audacity time! Individually open, edit, and export each .wav you extracted, again as .wav (keep the file name the same!) using audacity, make any changes you want, import other files of any format into it on a new track and remove the original when you're done, whatever, but I recommend keeping the lenght (not filesize) of the audio file the same, idk if the game will have a stroke if it's too long or not long enough. (Also a lot of the song info like BPM is hardcoded so any old song won't work if you just drop it in here, stick to mad rat monday songs for your first edits like I did, those work the best, but do be ready to splice them to extend the main loop (file 3)) (also line it up properly, it can't be off beat from the original, you gotta find a point in the songs where the waveform is similar and use it to line it up exactly right)

This part's kinda all up to you, but I can provide some basic audacity tips specific to your situation if required. Or just general ones, if you can't wrap your head around audacity :P

once they're all edited, use VGAudio to reverse the process, open the .wav files and choose to convert to HCA, and save them, maybe backup the original .hca files instead of replacing them if you want to (i just added an 'og' to the start of the original file's name)

then, remove all the junk from the folder besides the new .hca files you made (or move them to another, identically named folder separately), and drag the folder into the same acbeditor.exe from the sonic audio tools folder, just like you did with the acb the first time. It will pack your folder back into an acb in the same directory as the folder you dragged in (it'll replace the original if you kept them all in the same directory, but don't worry you can just extract the file again if you need the original). Now, we set up the mod!

This part's easy, just make a new folder with the name of your mod, in there make one named romfs, in there make one named data, and in there make one named sound, then drop your new acb file into the sound folder. The mod's done! Drag it into the mod directory on your real switch (idk how that works I don't have a modded switch) or in yuzu right click mad rat dead, choose open mod directory and drop the mod folder in there. Then right click the game, hit properties, and the mod should show up with the name you chose for the top folder. Here's some screenshots for all that:

Tick the box to enable the mod and boot up the game! That's it!

If you need any more help, further assistance, suggestions, anything, just drop me an ask or DM, I'll respond in due time! Additionally, if you have any suggestions or requests for how to improve this guide, let me know with a reply!

Happy modding everyone!

Haven't done a computer status update in a little bit. Raspberry Pi media server has been psuedo-retired. It's currently still functioning as a media server for a christmas display at my wife's work until the end of December.

It has been successfully replaced by the Dell Optiplex that I got from work. I was able to skip the process of building a migration script for the server (to allow files to be moved and refound via filename & hash), but only because I've been mapping storage outside the server's webroot via link files in the upload directory. So on the new HD the files are actually in the upload directory rather than linked to it. As far as the server knows they're in the same place.

I transferred the software between machines by making a new install of vogon on the optiplex and then importing a mysqldump of the existing install into it, bringing the user accounts, media data, and other configuration elements with it. I did end up changing the storage engine of the data and data_meta tables into innodb (from isam) and adding some additional indexing. There were some noticeable performance differences on the generated join queries between servers. We were looking at 7sec+ lookup times for searches in the audio module. I'm still not sure if it's a mariadb version difference between raspbian and ubuntu lts, if something got corrupted in the export/import process, or if it was some strange storage lookup difference between running the database off of a SETA Hard-Drive versus an SD card. I initially thought maybe it was a fragmentation issue, but the built in optimization processes didn't really impact it, but with the adjustments to the indexing we're regularly getting query times measured in microseconds versus seconds, so it's working pretty well now.

The x86 processor and the faster storage (without the power dropout issues) have really improved the experience. Especially with reading comic books.

If I haven't explained it before, the way the CBZ reader works is that it sends a file list from the archive to the browser, the browser requests an image, and the server extracts the image data into RAM, base64 encodes it, and sends it back to the browser. It's a process that is bottlenecked by both CPU and storage speeds, so it's noticeably snappier on the new machine, even if the CPU is over a decade old at this point.

I'm actually considering taking a crack at forking mozilla's pdf.js to work a similar way, sending a page of data at a time, to decrease transfer times and allow lower memory devices to open large PDFs without having to actually download the whole thing. I suspect that means I'm going to have to build smaller single page PDF files on the fly, which would mean coming up with some kind of solution for in document links. I'm still in the phase of deciding if it's enough of a problem to put effort into solving, so I haven't done enough research to know if it will be easy or difficult. It's always hard to tell in situations like this because just about every web reader project assumes downloading the whole file, and the question is do they do it this way because it's hard to sub-divide the format, or do they do it because full clientside logic can be demoed on github pages.

Tutorials: Making Certain Parts of a Texture Glow & Uploading to the Workshop

Programs required: - Photopea (or other photo-editing tools). - VTFedit - Crowbar or Left 4 Dead 2 Authoring Tools. I recommend Crowbar as it's more user-friendly and deals with even-powered thumbnails. - Notepad++. If you don't have this program NOW, you'll want to use it later for editing the VMT code. I'd do it now if I were you.

Intro: This is a super quick and easy tutorial for those who want to learn about making parts of a texture glow-in-the-dark. This doesn't teach how to make the glowing give off emission.

The second part of this tutorial is geared towards those who are modding for Source Engine only. Once you're done with the first part of the tutorial, feel free to keep practicing until you get the hang of it.

Games required: Any game that allows the textures to be edited and glows in the dark is cool.

Follow the steps very carefully below once you're ready to start.

I'll be using Source Engine, but I've seen @kingfalconcombos using this method when they're modding The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (PC) with ease.

1ST PART: MAKING PART OF A TEXTURE GLOW

Open a texture that you want to edit. For this tutorial, we'll be using Coach's body texture.

This is in full resolution, so if you want to save it and open it in Photopea to follow along, go for it!

2. Once the texture is open in Photopea, use another image that you want to put an overlay of. For this tutorial, we'll use a very hungry caterpillar as an example.

3. In Photopea, click on Open and Paste. Put the caterpillar anywhere that you'd like to put him.

I'll put him here for now.

4. Select the space surrounding the hungry caterpillar.

5. Go to the Channels tab of Photopea. You must have the hungry caterpillar's layer selected. Not Coach's texture layer.

If you click on the wrong layer that doesn't have the hungry caterpillar, it will come out wonky.

6. Once your selection is inverted to the item you want to glow, fill it with a white color.

A very helpful tip for remembering what parts will be seen or not when making glow-in-the-dark parts/textures.

White is visible, black is not.

This will help you know in the final result of which of them will be visible once it's rendered in any game. This also doesn't remove any color properties that the original glowing part has.

FINAL STEP

7. Export the image in the format needed. For Source Engine, you can export it as TGA since VTFedit will be used later to convert it into a file suitable for the Source Engine.

If you're using another engine other than the Source Engine - export it to the file format your game requires. I'm not sure how to resolve it if your engine for a different game doesn't accept it.

CONCLUSION

You're done with the tutorial of how to make certain parts of an image glow!

If you're using Source Engine, you'd continue the process of packing the texture and uploading it into a suitable VPK to put within the right directory for it to show in-game.

Let's take a look at how our hungry caterpillar appears on Coach's back!

2ND PART: UPLOADING TO SOURCE ENGINE CONTINUE IF YOU WANT TO USE IN SOURCE ENGINE

If you want to use the texture in Source Engine, follow the steps as you would in creating a VPK to simply replace the texture.

This will teach you how to upload custom textures to Source Engine with more user-friendly tools.

9. Open VTFedit. Click on IMPORT to bring your picture of choice into the editor. Select the new image you should have saved in PNG, TGA, etc (formats) to upload.

10. Once the image is uploaded, it should look like this in the editor.

11. Go to File < Save As. This will save your file in a VTF format.

12. Before saving your file, remember that it must be the same name as the original file you opened it with. For Coach's texture, it'd be labeled as coach_body_color.

13. Create a file directory that mimics Left 4 Dead 2's game directory in which you found the file. For this tutorial, we'll be using:

materials < models < survivors < coach < DROP VTF HERE.

Once you saved your VTF in the folder, it should look like this.

14. Now that your new VTF file is saved, you'll need to create a VMT file.

Go back to VTFeditor, and then choose Tools < Create VMT

When the windows show up, *leave the Textures tab alone* as this is different from creating a custom texture.

Go to your Options tab.

15. What we want to do is to have the model cast a proper shadow with the whole body, not just parts of the glowing images having shadows only.

Within the Options tab of your new VMT, choose your shader as VertexlitGeneric NOT UnlitGeneric.

VertexlitGeneric makes the vertices of your vector glow. UnlitGeneric will make the whole object in question glow, and this is what we're trying to avoid.

Within the Surface 1 tab, you don't have to choose anything. You can choose to leave it blank, or you can choose one of the surfaces by default. Choosing a surface will determine what sound and type of particle damage will occur if you shoot it.

Within the checkboxes below, leave the Translucent property unchecked.

If you leave this checked, the rest of the object be rendered as transparent except for the glowing texture parts.

This is an example of what it should look like below:

16. Once you're done, click CREATE. A prompt will come up to ask where you want to save the VMT file. Place it in the same folder as your VTF file.

17. Now close VTFeditor. It won't be needed anymore after these steps.

18. If you're using Notepad++, now's the time to open the file. When you open the file, you'll only see two properties appear. This would be your file directory and you should ONLY be seeing $basetexture and $surfaceprop (if you chose one).

The newest value we're going to add is $selfillum with a value of "1".

Go to the end of either line of the codes, and then enter

$selfillum "1"

19. SAVE THE FILE.

20. You're done editing your VMT! Now all that's left is to create an addon out of your new VMT and VTF files.

21. Go back to the Left 4 Dead 2 addon directory.

With your new folder, it should be structured as:

Addon Name < materials < models < survivors < coach < your VMT and VTF files

DRAG AND DROP your new addon folder to the VPK.EXE shortcut.

This will create an addon that'll be available to use in-game.

Voila! Here's a new addon to use.

FINAL THIRD PART: TESTING

Now that you have a new addon to test out, open the game.

Have the game load to a level where you can see Coach.
