Gust G1T fails to extract a DDS texture from a Fatal Frame 4 character model #84

Closed Jupisoft111 closed 11 months ago

Hello, I just found what I believe might be a new possible "bug", since the Gust G1T can't seem to properly export the DDS texture "020.dds", but I don't know if it's something from the game or not, or if the game might crash if that texture ends up missing. Thanks a lot in advance. Note: I remember having posted something similar long ago, but I can't remember right now if it was related or not, sorry if I'm mistaken and have a nice day :-)

I just uploaded ALL the original files here, just in case they are needed: Mediafire link

H_RUK_Q.zip H_RUK_Q 020 DDSs.zip

This is a 1 pixel by 1 pixel texture, so it doesn't really matter if you can edit it or not:

0x01 0x01cb0d44 0x00000004 H_RUK_Q\020.dds 1x1        1       -

The thing is, you can repack the texture into a .g1t and there will be no issue (you can validate this by extracting H_RUK_Q.g1t and the recreating it with gust_g1t and comparing with the original, and you will find that they are identical).

So, the only small problem is that most DDS editors won't be able to open this 1x1 texture, and this appears to have to do with having the DDS_NORMAL flag being applied in the DDS picture format field. From what I can see, you're not supposed to have that flag for RGBA textures (even though the .g1t indicates that this texture is meant to be used for normals) so I will make sure to remove it in a next version, and then you will be able to "edit" that 1x1 texture.

I am however not going to produce a new release just for that, since, as long as this only happens with 1x1 dummy textures and gust_g1t will repack the .g1t just fine, this is not a showstopper.

Thanks a lot for all the info, then for now I'll just ignore the ones that seem to be 1x1 until you release a new version (I can wait). So thanks a lot once again, because I was a bit worried that the resulting mods might have some kind of errors in them :-)
