Hello everyone, I had a few questions about using Resorp tool to edit textures in Black Desert. If someone could help me I would be so grateful! <3
- Is it safe to mod textures? Has anyone had or heard of any issue like getting banned or anything? Is there a risk xigncode will lock your account if Resorep is detected?
- Can I update/patch my game without any extra steps or concerns, or will Patches and game updates mess up the texture mods you have done? Will they have to be redone every time? Will Resorep need updates every time there is a game update?
- Is there a way to organize modded textures I have made? How can I keep track of which textures I have modded?
- Are there any guides on actually making the modded textures (I see a few on installing other peoples mods)? The part for modders on first post is a bit vague.
- What does this mean and what is it for? "You may add arbitrary text to file name by placing ~ after number in file name and placing text after ~. E.g. "123456789~Example text.dds"
- On the first post it is mentioned you can use GIMP 2 to edit the DDS files, can more details be shared on specifics? DDS files have a LOT of settings to choose from when saving, can anyone share (screenshot maybe?) which settings work best in BDO. I am using Photoshop CC with DDS plugin.
- How do you find the textures you want to edit? I can only imagine the sea of textures this game has in its data file, how can I find the ones I want to edit?
- Can the other maps(Normal, Specular, Defuse ect) be edited also? This is especially important when editing face textures.
- Is this the only forum for the BDO modding community? I found this place randomly with a google search, I find it strange this is the BDO Modding home as it does not even have a BDO sub forum.
- Any other tips or advice for getting started on the MMO Modding scene. ;3
Sorry if any of my questions seem silly ^^;
A bit more about me: I have been modding Skyrim for about a year now. I am a Digital artist and hope to bring some high quality texture edits to the community.
My interests are mostly in: Improving low res textures and bad/mismatch(I'm looking at you white faced Witch!) textures of Face, eyes and Body on playable characters, Improving textures of many in game armors that are currently low res, improving animal textures such as Horses and Pets. Overall balancing of textures that are oddly bad quality compared to others in the game.
Looking forward to being a part of the community here. ~(=^‥^)ノ♥
