Can anyone help me? I have managed to replace textures in model2 emu before but for some reason I cant seem to do it anymore. I dump the texture cache and create a .pat file, create some new textures but when I load a rom nothing changes. I have tried putting the images in a number of locations including the roms folder, texcache folder and just the model2 folder but still no joy?? Where do i put the .pat file and where do the images go?

You might try asking in the driving cab forum. A few users there are into swapping out the textures in the Model 2 driving games.
-
you will have to create a folder called "SCRIPTS" and within it put a pat file with name rom +of new textures.

Thanks for the suggestions, I already had the SCRIPTS folder and in there i have my vf2.pat, vcop2.pat and all the images I want to use, this is a part of my vf2 pat file

my images are named as above ie. vf2_vertbrick.png but no textures are replaced. I really don't understand what the problem is, the Virtua Fighter files used to work when i started them a few years back but now i have gone back to them I cant get them to work :banghead: I have even trie a fresh install of model2 :dizzy:

the value "0" means that the texture of the emulator has priority. you would have to put "1".
Example:
1828401B 6592D6E3 1 vf2_vertbrick.png

Actually the 0 or 1 states whether the texture is colored by the emu or i you are using a colored texture, if you use a colored texture and set the value to 1 then no shading is applied or is applied differently and so if doesn't look quite right
This is taken directly from the model2lu.txt
0 if you replace the texture with a grayscale texture, so it's handled through the model2 coloring pipeline (like original ones)
1 if your texture is already colored. Then only lighting will be applied (linearly) to the texture
Cheers anyway, still haven't got it working thought :hissy:
-
You're right I thought it might be a solution, you could upload a picture texcache png image file custom pat. please? (One complete example with just one)
-
ops!? Emulator is a bug in loading the textures vf2 not boot, you press reset (F3) after the start and MAGIC! textures replaced. :cheers:
I guess a ahk script we can fix simply.
-
here you go, this as taken from my wip from a while back, it did used to work and you will have to get rid of the .txt file extension of he .pat file (i wasn't able to upload .pat)
-
Be careful that your image is in format (. png_thumb)
