How exactly do I get textures ingame?

[BlueYoshi97]

I have the newest Rice Plugin and Project64 version 1.6.

I am trying to retexture games. I checked "Dump texture files" and I changed some and saved them as ".png" and pasted them in a map with the same name as the one in texture_dump, in hires_texture. But in game I don't see anything. So what should I do?

Make sure your texture has a alpha layer, so it's 32 bit or it won't work.

I don't have Rice's plugin installed at the moment, but IIRC you also have to check a box in the configuration to load textures from the hires directory. Make sure that's checked.

Also assure that your PNG file contains just one layer & that this layer is not a background layer. It has to be one normal ArtLayer.

PNG files can't have layers. :whistling

Anyways your PNG files will need to be in 32-bit format (yours are most likely in 24-bit). So for each image just make one pixel have a 99% opacity and save. Do this for each image as I said.

True...

Nevertheless, somehow the texture will not load if the texture has contained a background layer before saving it in Photoshop. This might be a reason for his problems. Thus the texture has to be a normal layer and the background layer has to be removed if any.
