Hi all! Guys, who analyzed this format at least once, I need your help. I know that this texture is DDS 256x256 and DXT5, possibly with swizzle. If any of the guys who are familiar with UE3 games can help, I will be grateful.

I'm attaching the texture.

@YAGAMI55: It's not swizzled, just use starting offset at 0xFC. Also, not sure why you're extracting it like that - according to compatibility table, the game should be supported in umodel, including textures.

Thanks man))) I know what umodel support some ps3 games. but this texture not shows correctly. Maybe because specifics offset used.
Anyway, thanks so much. Ill starting to port text from pc to ps3. And gfx works perfectly besides subtitles. Ill find this in texture2d and now will be edit medium.font

@YAGAMI55: You can provide package with this texture and brief explanation of the issue in the game topic at umodel forum. The point is that it seems too small for me, like it's a low-res mip instead of actual texture from tfc cache.

Im not registred in umodel forum. I can uploud startup_int.xxx and COMMONGAME_LOC_INT.XXX here. Umodel cant repack the ue3 files. this utility does not pack files, it's just for viewing, isn't it?

@YAGAMI55: There are no issues with those font textures in umodel, and you can also export them to dds out of the box. You probably didn't use specific override option, required for this game, at umodel startup screen. And well, this is indeed small texture - if there would be bigger version in tfc cache, you would be forced to edit and repack tfc cache instead of xxx package.

Ill check it. Ill redraw some symbols in this texture and run the game. if there are no changes, Ill have to edit tfc.

Thanks)

Texture2d is dds without header
SmallFont.font is a simple pixel cell -> real pixel x,y in hex format

Pixel cell in UE3 like this - x.y.w.h that all
its a pixel in texture where starts you symbol
A - id symbol 65
x - 0
y - 8
w - 26
h - 20

In .font they have hex format - 4100 0000 0800 1A00 1400
A - 4100
x - 0000
y - 0800
w - 1A00
h - 1400

You can do this manualy in hex editor or you can create specific tool like me)
Or you wanna ask in this forum to create FOR you special tool to edit bitmap font from UE3 games)
UDK is useless. because in version to version bitmap fonts has small changes. And even PC version have differeces from X360 and from PS3 version. X360/PS3 have Big Endian value. PC Little Endian.
Good luck

P.S each other game on UE3 have different assets. By the way, in BAA and Silent Hill Dwnpour and X-men Origins on PS3 - identical pixel cell for bitmap font
