Sims 2 .package Texture Files
Hi All,
As previously mentioned in another news article, the texture files found in the .package files in the Sims 2 are DXT compressed textures. They are either DXT5 or DXT3, with or without alpha channels.
I've now written a program to take these textures, strip out the custom header, and attach a standard DDS file header to it.
The result? See the image attached
I know it's the same as exporting from the Body Shop, but these are actual files from the base game which is a big step.
I still have to go through and work out the different combinations of flags and some unknowns, plus alter the code to deal with TIMG and LEVL files, but that should be trivial.
