ROM Hack Question Does anyone know how to fix these partially garbled tga textures?

[pietempgba]

They're from Yoshi's Crafted World and I used UModel to export them also here's a example of one

another example

This is something called "swizzle". Every console has it and for every console is different.
I'm curious too what type of tool can save that textures from UE4 games to compatible for switch format.

you might look at a working .tga file, then figure out the save information. I know that on the wii u an icon will show up as a question mark, and the game can't even be opened.

btw, the icon information is saved to the console as removing a micro sd card will have no bearing on the icons showing up.

Yeah these textures are ue4 textures

@masagrator Umodel can export the files to switch format but some files aren't right or are unswizzled

that's for the wii u, so you might fiddle with the settings.

mess around with the header? Is there a tool to swizzle this?

 

[pietempgba]

@godreborn header data for this tga file is this 00 00 0A 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 80 07 38 04 18 00 00

 

[godreborn]

not sure. iirc, the footer was what people said was important with .tga on the wii u, but that footer still reads TRUEVISION, so it was normal.

 

[pietempgba]

i'll check the footer then @godreborn

Odd these files don't have a footer @godreborn

 

[godreborn]

it may not a full 16 bytes, so the rest of the line may be 0'd out.

 

[pietempgba]

some of them don't even have the 0's

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

these files were all extracted from uexp files using umodel with UE4 4.18 override

 

[godreborn]

no idea. the .tga may be recorded in the internal flash though. the TRUE VISION should be at the bottom followed by 0s. saving .tga will result in the same file (i.e. 0s or just the incomplete). at least, this is true of the ps3 and the wii u. if you remove the micro sd card (assuming you have one), the image of the game is still present, which suggests that there's some sort of metadata file. the wii u does this to increase the speed at which the home menu appears. the switch may record the .tga file.

Well those tga files are in a unity 4 pak file also the switch file system is very unreadable
