Repacking of .bin files containing .txt in P5

[amarret]

Most of the environment textures in P5 are stored in ps3.cpk: model/field_tex/textures/*.bin files, which contain the .dds and a .txt file. GFD studio seems to not handle properly this .txt file, causing crash when repacking.

Does the crash happen without any edits?
If not, then you shouldn't be editing the texture archives directly. You can export a texture dictionary to the bin format using the "Convert to field texture archive" context menu option.

No crash without edits. How can I create a texture dictionary ?

Note that the following is kind of a workaround as this functionality was meant for custom field models.

• Open any GMD model.
• Delete all of the textures in the model.
• Right click on textures, press add
• Select the custom textures you want to put ingame, these should be PNG or DDS (not the raw DDS from the archive!)
• Right click on textures again, press Convert to -> Field Texture Archive (PS3)

Okay, thank you for your assistance.

One more question:
some of the game textures are under the format DXT5. GFD studio list them with the flags : "DXT5, Flag80".
Importing a new DXT5 .dds gives a file with the flags: "Flag2, Flag4, DXT5, Flag80". Also, importing a .dds extracted from original .bin files also gives the same flags (and not anymore "DXT5, Flag80" only).

These "Flag2, Flag4" need to be removed to not crash the game. Is it possible for GFD studio to not add these "Flag2, Flag4" automatically ?
I found that removing them manually does work, but is time consuming.
