Title: [SOLVED] [QUESTION] Change texture path of M2
Post by: Kiun on June 05, 2014, 02:43:44 pm

I'm trying to change hardcoded texture path of a M2 but I'm not having success.

All I can do is edit the path text with 010 editor but this only allows me to set a path with lesser or equal lenght as the original path.

E. g.
   Standard texture path: WORLDGENERICORCPASSIVE DOODADSBRAZIERSTALLBRAZIER01.BLP
   Desired texture path (1): MyCustomObjectsCustomTexturesCustomDoodadsCustomMaterialsCustomTexture.blp <- Longer than standard texture path - will mess up the m2

  Desired texture path (2): MyCustomTexturesCustomTexture.blp <- Shorter than standard texture path - will work BUT I want longer custom paths in some m2 that have short standard paths

I'm asking if there is a way to change texture path with no restrictions. I hope you understand me.
Thank you.

I'm not sure if offsets in texture entries are relative or absolute. if relative:

• copy the data (16*nTextures + whatever size the stringblock is) at ofsTextures
• insert at end
• set ofsTextures to new offset (where inserted)
• add path you want at the end of the file
• change ofsFilename and lenFilename of your entry to match

if they are absolute:

• add path you want at the end of the file
• change ofsFilename and lenFilename of your entry to match

Much appreciated schlumpf, fast and clear answer.

Adding path at the end of the file and changing FileName lenght and FileName offset was enough so I guess offsets in texure entries are absolute.

Thanks!  :D
