How to convert Ubisoft's .tga.ckd to .dds? I tried to change it to .tga.dds as said on Rayman forum but that doesn't work. I guess there is header but I don't know what it is specifically.

which platform did these samples come from? i want to say PS3 because of the big endian header...
also what is the full game name (which version (3?, 2017?, 2018?)) so i can add it to the script title. :)

here is Noesis python script to open your ckd samples :D
*script updated Feb 11, 2019*

supports dxt1, dxt5 and morton swizzled rgba8888
this script will conflict other ckd scripts so move them out of python folder while you use this one.

They do indeed come from PS3 from Just Dance 2017. Thank you very very much.

Could you take a look at these files. They're from WiiU Just Dance 2018. I tried to unpack it with script from above but it doesn't work.

Hey Acewell! Can you do that for the textures of JD2018 (Wii U)?
I looked at the header of the HEX codes and they are different from the example above, so your .py does not work.
Look:

I have attached some examples for you to see. Thank you very much for contributing.

i thought i covered WiiU already, how many versions of Just Dance 2018 for WiiU are there? :shock:
anyway, texconv2 doesn't like these gtx files for some reason and i don't know enough about this
format to spot any potential customization by developers. :(
you can open the samples in a hex editor and delete the bytes up to "Gfx2"
and save then add gtx extension to make it a gtx file but it won't open for me.

Maybe we can know more about gfx2 though http://mk8.tockdom.com/wiki/GTX\GSH_(File_Format) to be able to see in noasis?

I have tga.ckd files from Yo-Kai Watch: Just Dance Special Version for the Wii U. These files likely share the same format with Just Dance Wii U (Japan) and Just Dance 2014. None of the .py scripts worked to decode this format. Can you write a script to do just that for these formats?

(Side note: Is there a way to re-encode these textures using a hex editor or special program?)

1. Open a file (example geragerapoori_coach_1.tga.ckd) in hex editor
2. Delete ALL words before Gfx2 and save it
3. Now you have a backup of this file and modded file
4. Name it to geragerapoori_coach_1.gtx (the type of file should change to gtx)
5. Download https://drive.google.com/file/d/12N72eS ... sp=sharing and unzip it
6. Put geragerapoori_coach_1.gtx in folder named convert
7. Run convertGTX.bat
8. Now go to OutDDS folder and enjoy your files.

i see the problem now, there are at least 3 different versions of TexConv2.exe, gfd.dll and texUtils.dll floating around.
the version i had originally wouldn't convert the files but your linked version does.
i can now make or edit a Noesis python script to work with those samples. :)

Someone leaked the Just Dance Tools which allows you to convert .dds files to .tga.ckd files on PC. For Wii U, look for a dds to tga converter and change the header.

Hello.

What about Rayman Legends (Definitive Edition) for Nintendo Switch .tga.ckd?

It looks like DDS format ("TEX" can be found in file) but the "DDS" is missing and the other known tools do not convert the file.

1024x1024 dxt3, data starts at 0x234 :D
you can get the unswizzled image with Rawtex here:
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=7099
tick the "Switch swizzle" option before viewing.

Thanks, works perfectly. Is there any tool to swizzle the textures back to Switch format?
Now I have .png file from Rawtex, I modify it with Gimp and save as DDS DXT3 and copy bytes in hex editor back into .tga.ckd but the texture is not good.
