Texturing problem - green tint

[DaMichel]

Edit: I think this has been partially resolved. Upon another inspection i realized that B9 actually uses .tga textures. So i tried .tga textures and they work. png doesn't!

Very strange. Has anyone else trouble with png textures?

See here

Somehow KSP does something to the colors. This is the texture file right from the GameData folder

Edit: I checked the B9 texture since they also use png. They appear all right. Grey texture looks grey in game. But i cannot find where the difference to my texture is which could cause the issue.

got it working with tga textures

I am also having tint issues with a texture. I am re-skinning an existing model tho. I am converting MBMs to raw then editing in photoshop. I am matching stock colors but when I use my texture I get a tint that looks worse then yours. What should Commandant Ace do?

[CommandantAce]

That's nice work BTW :-)

.tga's with certain channels already switched during the conversion. .png's always give me "off colors". For example, if you take a FS part with a simple scheme, change it to .tga without actually doing anything else, you'll see that it no longer matches its friends in the VAB.

When ripping .mbm's, there's a critical step involving channel switching right after you do the hex edit...its been a long time since I did it though, I couldn't tell you off the top of my head.

I'm getting this green tint problem on a 0.25 stock install on max detail, is that normal?

probably something to do with conversion to DXT at load time. probably not much you can do other than compensating by adjust your colors by trial and error. B9 switched to PNGs a couple updates back... 0.25 doens't seem to like TGAs as much before, some TGA textures can't be found by the compiler even if it appears to have loaded correctly.

[DaMichel]

Ah yes. That's odd though. I didn't notice any tinting on the new B9 textures. Need to have a closer look on this again.

[CardBoardBoxProcessor]

Yeah. best bet is to process them and then copy and past the original textures form the unity folder into the part file. The processing makes them messy.

My understanding is that these splotches are compression artifacts, introduced during the load phase. I could be wrong, of course. But that only seems noticeable when you have relatively subtle color differentiation (if any), on mostly white or light grey surfaces.
