This little tool aims at converting 2DB textures to well-known DDS format, so that it can be modified in your favourite image editing software.
Here is a small list of them, supporting DDS format :
You must provide the source 2DB file in the upper field (you may also 'drag and drop' your file into).
The new DDS file name will update itself so you won't have to enter nor select a location; unless you'd want to change destination.
Converting many files behaves pretty the same way as seen earlier for single files. The difference is you have to specify a BNK file first then select a folder to place brand new DDSs
('drag and drop' also available).
Converter will scan BNK file for 2DBs and convert all of them into the target folder you've given.
New ! 2DB files location field indicates to which folder temporary 2DB files are extracted from BNK. You can also display this location into Windows Explorer by clicking the arrow button. This info could be useful in case you wanna integrate modified textures into the BNK back.
This task is slightly much complicated than the last one, because of some limitations
(less and less in fact, but still :) ).
Mainly you have to keep in mind that the starting 2DB file must be available to enable converting.
New ! It is now possible to change texture sizes and dimensions. To do this, just edit your DDS texture the natural way then ensure Keep original file size option is
UNchecked before converting to 2DB back.
Though, remaining limits should disappear for future versions: you will be able to generate
'brand new' textures.
