For the love of.... #$%@!Sigh... This dam toolset.. Sometimes I wish I can reach into this screen and strangle the designers of this toolset. Sigh and I really wanted to added birds...
For some reason or another.. I can't seem to import the bird files Nathraiben made for me. I've tried every possible angle to no avail. I've sent a letter about the issue to OE, and I really hope I get something back.. I don't think they'll respond to me in enough time for the new years... which is when I plan to release 2.0 of my VFX pack.
However, I have found a program that will allow me to make haks for nwn2. Which means I'll finally be able to make a hak version for the VFX Pack as well. ...Erf.. not so much.. takes to much time to do. However, I'll chisel away at it as I progress.
I'm still going to add your name to the credits of the pack v2.0 Nathraiben. Don't want your hard work to go unnoticed. And who knows? ....maybe someone from the community will know exactly how to import the files.

Hm, maybe I saved them in a wrong format? I could try to convert them to DXT3 or even DXT5 (thought that will probably unnecessarily inflate the files  ) - or does it happen to the .tgas, too?
And don't concern yourself about the credits - I'm more than happy with my name mentioned in some minor sub-clause somewhere in the release containing my files

I thought the format NWN2 used was DXT5? I could be wrong, though. It provided better aliasing and stuff. Worth a shot.

That may help,... its up to Nathraiben though. I dont have any programs like that to convert formats.. .. I use to have Paint Shop Pro.. loved it... but I lost the CD.. and after i got this new computer... never had it.. Downloaded the trail of it a few times... but eh... dont think I could get it again before they start catchin on to me..

The problem is - NWN2 only uses 1bit-Alpha (which is covered by DXT1-A)
(The reason for all the characters wearing straw instead of hair  )
Well, sent you the DXT5 files - hope it works now (at least the files turned out "only" twice as large).

Hey, I tried again to import those bird animations. It keeps locking up each time I try to add the textures. Always having to do a hard reboot... I guess the only thing left to do is wait for the devs to get back to me on how to import those bird animations...

So, the DXT5 versions didn't work, either? 
Maybe I got one of the settings wrong?

I have no idea what the problem is, I dont think its a problem on our end. I think its the toolset. Course I could be wrong ... but till I hear otherwise, thats what I'm thinking it is. I've created the vfx already for the birds, using a "dot" texture as a place holder for now.
