I'm really confused at this point. I've been trying to get a texture to update after my edits in paint.net, but when I go to RS bin tool to update the texture, the default texture is still there. I've checked all of the read only's off on each of them, and it still doesn't work.
Does anyone know what's wrong?

What item are you trying to do? Is this once again one of theses nm and nmc things where you are saving one and you TS is reading the other one?

No. There is only one texture for the genset's hood, not including the doors. I save the edits in DXTBmp, but on my desktop and in RS bin tool, the edit does not appear. I've tried opening another one, one that I already opened with the edits in place, and the one on the desktop, and the freshly opened one does not show the edits.

You are talking about the file called main body? Have you gone back and double checked that the read only is unchecked? RU sure it's not reading the file from the .ap?

Yes, the bins are looking at the right place. Read only is unchecked also.

So you are saving it in DXTBmp as a dds and when you go into RSBinTool the update isn't there? Check where it's saving it to. Look at the times. The answer is there somewhere.

It's saving to my desktop, where the original is. I replace it, check to make sure it's not read only, and follow through with the replacement. But still doesn't update.

I don't know what paint program you use but I have to save the file, not save as but save it before closing paint.net, then click display after edit (or what ever the thing is called) in dxtbmp

I use paint.net too. I "reload after edit" and the changes are there, but when I go to import the data to RS bin tool the changes are not there.

Let's do this one step at a time. You save the bmp and when you open it in DXTBmp it shows as the update. You then say save as a dds in whatever format. For this one it should be DXt5. You are saving it to your desktop. Look at the file and see if it is dated the current time. That will tell you if it saved correctly. Then import to RSBinTool and look at that file to make sure it's the same time as the file you just verified is the right one. If it is just say save.

I know exactly what you are talking about. DXTBmp is not saving the file, even though it says it is. I have this problem quite often, and I have to do some strange stuff to fix it. It is quite a pain, and there really isn't a valid solution to it. For example, one of the times DXTBmp will do this is if you make the whole paint area in Paint.NET one solid color. It saves to DXT, then when you save out of DXT to your desktop, it won't actually be saving anything. I don't understand it myself.

I have never had DxtBmp fail to save unless I told it to save to the wrong format or address. You guys have some other issue.

Well I'm saving it correctly (DXT5), and read only is off on the exported data from RS bin tool and the texture.

How about you zip up your saved bmp send it here and I will see if I can get it to convert it to a dds.

If I send it to you my edits will not be there, if that's ok with you.
