ASH (Automatic Texture Hack) + Indexing ~ Guide

I should probably mention that Adobe Photoshop CS3 does not support TarGA images. You have to use Adobe Photoshop CS4 if you want to edit TarGA images.

>.> are you crazy? tga (TarGA) is supported in CS3, i use it all the time with tgas and all the older versions of phtoshop has tga support, why would they just take it out for no reason? I rest my case.

I tried downloading Adobe Photoshop CS3 through that link you gave us, but it didn't recognize the TarGA images at all. I then tried the free download for Adobe Photoshop CS4, which actually supported TarGA images.

what do you mean not recognized? open CS3 and drag the tga file in there and it will open.

I don't have CS3 anymore since I downloaded CS4. I've been able to index the indexed textures with relative ease with CS4, and I can even save images as TarGA images. That's something that CS3 is not capable of doing when I tried that out.

Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong.... wrong. I do all my transparency stuff in PS7 and then i put it in CS3 and do all my tga editing and SAVING there. It works just fine, why would they just magically take out tga support? PS is the most used 2d graphically used thing ever and tga is one of there most common formats. That would be like taking out jpeg and png support.

I tried downloading Adobe Photoshop CS3 again. This time, it can actually read TarGA images.

Apparently, the last time I downloaded Photoshop CS3, I got hold of a faulty one that couldn't read all image types; TarGA images being one of them.

However, the risk of trojan horses still bothers me about CS3, so I'll still be relying on CS4 for working on indexed textures.

I should've double checked everything before I started posting complaints. Anyway, I'm terribly sorry about starting this argument.

No problem man.

Is there any way to edit a texture with just a pcs file? I heard there was a pcs->pac converter, but I can't find it Q_Q.

LZ77ex

It should be in the FAQ in the help forum.
