UBE Tex Conversion Tool (Linux & Win 11)

[AhuwgaZ]

Yeah, I'll update soon as I'm done rebuilding my mod list. Had to switch to community shaders from ENB, which has been an interesting swap.

I appreciate Boris, I really do and I understand what it's like talking to people who are too retarded to understand what you are trying to do but think they are smart enough to tell you that you're doing it wrong. But, I think he's been so far into that camp that there's no returning for him. Not just doodlum but even dxvk devs are having "issues" with working with him. So, what's that mean for us linux users? Our lead game shader hackers aren't going to support ENB with updates. Community shaders however, are actually pretty cool now. Not as good or supported as ENB... yet, but if you want some FPS boost, community shaders is worth a look.

Is it possible to convert this texture to UBE? https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/68204?tab=description  The sporty sexy sweat

I'm at like 55% of rebuilding my mod list. (I accidentally borked my setup with a newb script that put _ in every file that had a space). When I get done, I'm actually going to finish the conversion tool that will be able to do that. Right now, it wouldn't do it very well.

Understandable!

I am going to convert the requests here and put them in pack 4, but then it's up to you guys do do the conversions. I've gotta get my other projects done!

...


And Done, Mod Complete.

Thank you, you are awesome.

Happy New Year,

 

I ran the Stencil.blend. But there was no new texture file in New_Textures folder.

Well, I just found you said it need NVTT3 Linux version. Unfortunately, I use Windows...

You put the NVTT linux files in the NVTT folder? It should work regardless. But maybe not? Someone confirm?

So I'm pretty dumb if a caveman could figure this out because this isn't working for me. I put the tattoo.dds in the base folder, open the .blend file, run it and it says the bake is finished. nothing is in the new folder though. Does anyone have some more detailed instructions that might help me?

Well you did exactly what you were supposed to. Because literally that's it.

Windows or linux?
Blender version?

 

I just tried it with Blender 5.0.1, latest NVTT 3 Linux Files, works fine for me.

But I won't be able to help unless I know a bit more of what's going on. Would help to post the .dds you are trying to convert. It would also help to see a screen shot of the NVTT files and Blender operation.

Remember, I'm just a modder. I don't collect your data, so the ONLY way I can help is if you willingly give me information.

I'm on windows 10, Using blender on steam which says it's version 5.0.1, I downloaded NVTT3 Linux and extracted all its files into "UBE Tex Convert\S\NVTT" I'm trying Obi's Tattoos and Unholy Tattoos. I've been getting this problem.

The NVTT files should be in UBE Tex Convert\nvtt

Remove the S

The error suggest to me that subprocess (The NVTT process) is unable to execute.

Technical explination, I have two variables that determine where the NVTT executables are:

Line 23: nvdecompress = base_dir / "nvtt" / "nvdecompress"
and
Line 48: nvcompress = base_dir / "nvtt" / "nvcompress"

Your executables are in = base_dir / "S" / "NVTT"

So therefor it can not find them.

Just in-case, make sure nvtt folder is lower-case. I don't think it matters in Windows, but it might.

So I removed the s folder which was included in the download for some reason. When I open the file in blender all the text still has all the error text present and when I try and run it I still get all the same errors. So for some reason it's not able to read the files properly. I have it all setup like you say to.

Alright, I think you confirmed that this doesn't work on Windows 10. So I guess it's Linux only. It was my assumption that the windows python environment ran under a linux shell, but I was wrong.

If you want to run this in windows, open powershell and:

(Apparently doesn't work as wsl only provices blender 4.0)

Spoiler

dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux /all /norestart
dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:VirtualMachinePlatform /all /norestart
wsl --install
wsl --update
wsl --shutdown
wsl --install -d Ubuntu
wsl -d Ubuntu -- sudo apt update
wsl -d Ubuntu -- sudo apt install -y blender
wsl -d Ubuntu blender

 

As of now, I'll remove the windows claim from description, I apologize for any inconvenience this caused anyone.

Edit for the wsl config.

In this particular case: you might have to do wsl cd <path to UBE Tex Convert>, then wsl -d  Ubuntu blender ./Stencil.blend

Ok, guess I'll have to wait and hope someone does the couple packs I was gonna try.

Although it says linux only, it also worked on windows 11. DDS file it will fail, so converting it to TGA seems to work.

Windows 11 Home 25h2 / Blender 5.0.1 (Steam)

 

The conversion process is much easier. Thank you.

wsl seems only provide blender4.0, which cannot read your blender file

I'll let you guys sort it out. I have no idea what works on Windows or not. I have no interest in putting that virus on my PC.

There’s not really much to explain.

 

NVTT is Linux only, so I didn't do anything.
Convert DDS files to TGA and put them into Base_Textures.
Convert using Blender as described in ReadMe.txt.
Converting TGA Files in the New _ Textures Folder to DDS.

[annonymousss]

Utilized cloud main frame for linux, worked fine, big ups for you mate.

 

[yacky91]

Hey are you still doing conversions for UBE? I'd like someone convert this pack, for the LESBIAN one, I'd like to do it myself but I am just bad at these things.

What do you recommend for quick conversions for DDS to TGA and back to DDS?
