Texture Viewing and Exporting

[Dalton_Mitchell]

I am trying to view and preferably export the textures from BF2. Is this possible?

Download the DDS2 plugin from nvidia.com (just google it) for photoshop.
*Here, i found it for you :)

http://developer.nvidia.com/object/photoshop_dds_plugins.html

All of the textures are located in the objects_client.zip

When you save, make sure you save it as a DDS5 or DDS3 (I can't remember :/)

Thanks a lot for the reply. That was simple :)

Now I need to view the meshes. Any idea where I can get a simple tool to view or convert the meshes? I don't need a lot of functionality, just want to play with the mesh in max.

Thanks

Ehmm, I recall there being a Mesh Viewer tool, but I don't know where.

if you want to view your object, just try opening it in the bfeditor maybe.

I use 3dsmax though, so that's not much help to you, sorry.

He said he wants to play with them in Max. Get the Max scripts from here: http://www.doomlab.com/bf2info.html You'll be able to pull in a mesh from BF2 into 3dsmax from the Necessary Tools in the new BF2 menu that will show up.

Re: Texture Viewing and Exporting

Thanks for all your replies. I still can't get the scripts and plugs to work. I install them and nothing happens when I try and run some of the scripts. I got the menu to come up but don't see where or how I import a mesh

Slowview is another good program to use for converting DDS files.
