Re: Helppppp

That confused me O.o
Are you talking about .wad files?
 
Re: Helppppp

No no no no no!!

To simply recolor things you just need a texture editor. Go search Google.

To make things I'm afraid it's much more complicated.

Good tools for editing textures are apps like:
Photoshop ($$$$) PaintShop Pro ($$) or The Gimp (free) and Paint.net (free).

As for actually editing a texture:

How to change a texture:

- Back up your 'textures.big' file (found in: \Fable\data\graphics\pc )
- Fire up FableExplorer (FE) and open textures.big.
- Find the texture you want to change
- Click 'save as' and save the texture as an .bmp (or something else)
- Open the texture with Photoshop (or a different program) and change it as you like.
- Save the changed texture as an .bmp again (or something else, as long as FE can read it of course)
- Now in FE in the window of the texture click 'open new'
- Click 'browse' and select the texture you changed.
- Click 'open' (make sure the import format is DXT1)
- Now in FE in the window of the texture change the 'Alpha' to 0.
- Click 'apply changes'
- Click 'Actions' and 'Save Mods and Run Fable'
