Saving

To save a 3D intermediate file of a texture (CTEX file), select File > Save as to set the file format to NW4C_ctex.
Enter a name for the CTEX file and click Save to display a dialog box.

Saving options are the same as for the TGA Format Plug-In.
Note, however, that the For LayoutEditor option cannot be specified.

This plug-in can save CTEX files conforming to version 0.7.0.


Loading

To load a 3D intermediate file for a texture (CTEX file), select File > Open to select a CTEX file, and click Open.
It is also possible to load CTEX files by dragging them to the Photoshop window.

The Photoshop image mode that results after loading the CTEX file is determined based on the format being used, as follows.

Notes

Notes are the same as for the TGA Format Plug-In.
However, image quality is not maintained if the format is other than L8, A8, LA8, HILO8, RGB8, or RGBA8, and data is saved and loaded using NW4C_ctex. Both the height and width of the image must be a power of two equal to or greater than 8 and equal to or less than 1024.

The Path attribute of the ImageTextureCtr tag in 3D intermediate files (CTEX files) represents the path to the source file.
When a CTEX file has been saved by selecting File > Save as, note that the source filename (name of the file loaded into Photoshop) is stored, not the name of the saved CTEX file.
