Did you export the mesh before performing the UV-Mapping? You might want to reexport the mesh to insure you're exporting the UVs as well.

This is the texture linked above compressed in DXT1 dds


It should work for you. Just drop it into the texture folder, register it in the item's brf as a texture, and then make the material. Based on that tutorial from earlier.

您在更新文件格式之间是否重新加载了 OpenBRF？在您重新打开应用程序或按 F5 之前，它不会重新加载纹理文件

What compression format did you use?

SupaNinjaMan said:

MountBlade Warband\Modules\your-mod\Textures\ you would put your textures here


This is not going to work, dds has TONS of different compression formats, this doesn't seem to use one that OpenBRF will read.

Additionally, it's very important to have the control to choose the correct compression format. Based on your alpha channel transparency, you will need different ones.

A good free software with built in DDS support is https://getpaint.net/

This is the paint.net dds dialog, only use these three. These are all that WB will be able to read.

a: DXT1, No Alpha or 1-bit Alpha
b: DXT3, Sharp Alpha, Very little semi-transparency
c: DXT5, Smooth Alpha, Good soft semi-transparency

Based on those pictures it looks like OpenBRF either cannot find the texture, so you have it in the wrong texture folder, or the compression you chose isn't the correct one. What app did you use to convert the texture to dds?

You need to export it as a dds texture using the DXT1 - DXT5 compression format, into you mod's Texture folder (Some apps will call it BC1 - BC3). Then in the brf with the mesh, import the texture, it will ask if you would like to create a material with the same name, check yes, then apply that material to the mesh.

To learn some basic functions of OpenBRF, there is this tutorial: https://forums.taleworlds.com/index...tools-managing-resources-with-openbrf.385750/

That tutorial has a section on how to set up a material, including what settings and shaders to use.

Make sure to check the tutorial threads. There should be tutorials covering every step we have gone over. Sometimes the tools or techniques will be out dated, but it's not too hard to figure out how to apply them to modern apps.

This one was one of the first results from that search, it seems to be a good fit to answer the questions you have:

B - Tutorial - 3D - Modelling & Texturing & Implementing

"My name is Quintillius. I have been modding since years ago. I have worked on Europe 1805 vII and A New Era and I feel it's time to pass on my knowledge to potential new modders. So you want to learn how to model an object and texture it and implement it into the game? Well then you are...

Check YouTube for some tutorials on how to texture models on Blender. It will be much more indepth than anything I can tell you here.


By default, any weapons you add will only be available to you. You will need to add it to the troops' inventories for them to have it. NPCs do not buy from shops like the player does.

100%, it was my pleasure!

Welcome to the community, I look forward to seeing what you can do.

Will have all the flags and descriptions from each.

What you have underlined are the mesh entries. ("b_bastard_sword",0), sets the main mesh, 0 is main/equipped mesh, as b_bastard_sword and
("scab_bastardsw_b", ixmesh_carry) sets the carry/scabbard mesh as scab_bastardsw_b.

Those need to match the name of the mesh inside the BRF exactly. So if you named your mesh my_cool_sword inside OpenBRF you would need to do ("my_cool_sword",0), to have that item reflect your new sword mesh.

You don't need a carry mesh declared, it's just if you have one. I suggest you search for a tutorial on adding scabbards and their vertex animations if you are interested in that.

That'll put it into a format the game can read, absolutely.

To get it in game, you'll need to add the brf file name to the module.ini file for the mod, and that will allow the game to access the resource. At that point you just put the resource name as the mesh name for the item you want it to be and bingo-bango. In-game.

The grid is scaled such that each line translates to 50cm in engine. There is a built in measuring tool for weapons you can activate using Tools > Measure with ruler to see what the axis the engine will attach the weapon to the agents. You can set the intended length on the ruler and use the Roto-translate-rescale tool to adjust the model to where you want it to end.

Edit: you added a photo after I posted this, so some critique.

A lot closer to the WB scale for sure. The facing is incorrect though, open a BRF with an axe or scimitar to see the facing you will need for it to make sense.

SupaNinjaMan said:

The scale and orientation is off, so you might want to copy an existing weapon of around the same size to use as a reference to adjust the mesh in OpenBRF with, but outside of that, it should be ready to go!

Have you marked triangulate on export? If you have n-gons, OpenBRF can't import them correctly and can only guess how to triangulate the mesh and will create holes and make mistakes like that.
