Doom 3 Texture Exporting & Usage

[John D.]

I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to export some textures out of D3? Like the ancient temple ones with the cool hieroglyphs? I was thinking of trying to get a hold of them for use in Dromed. Also since it would be in a fan mission, does anyone think ID software would care since they seem to be mod friendly?

Just open Pak000.pk4 with winzip and there are a lot of the things.

I don't think they'd like you using their textures in other games. Even though they're mod friendly, I could imagine they wouldn't like their assets being spread across the internet for free use.

 

But if you want to try it and get your learn on I'll at least point you in the right direction. Just follow these 3 easy steps:

 

1. Download and install winrar (if you don't have it already). I recommend using winrar over winzip since it keeps the directory structures intact. With Winzip you're just loaded down with tons of unsorted TGA images.

 

2. Go to doom3/base, find pak004.pk4 and open it with winrar.

 

3. Find your texture...most of the heiroglyphs and other ancient civilization textures are in the caves folder.

 

Keep in mind that most Doom 3 textures won't work well in games that don't support normal and specularmaps. You can manage to squeeze by with some, but since D3 textures are actually a mix of 3 or 4 different ones layered on top of each other, their individual pieces usually don't look right by themselves.

IMO as long as you use it for a D3 mod you should be fine. Same as other games. Using it for your own purposes, there is only one answer. Send an email and ask, but don't expect to much. I could understand if they don't like it.

I checked the folder, there's only one texture I think I can use so I'll just forget about it and find something else.
