Basic Textures:

 

 

Body parts/Face/Hair/Armor

 

MALES:

Dark Elf = C:\Program Files\Lineage II\systextures\MDarkElf

 

Elf =  C:\Program Files\Lineage II\systextures\MElf

 

Human Fighter = C:\Program Files\Lineage II\systextures\MFighter

 

Human Mage = C:\Program Files\Lineage II\systextures\MMagic

 

Dwarf = C:\Program Files\Lineage II\systextures\MDwarf

 

Orc Fighter = C:\Program Files\Lineage II\systextures\MOrc

 

Orc Shaman = C:\Program Files\Lineage II\systextures\MShaman

 

Kamael = C:\Program Files\Lineage II\systextures\MKamael

 

FEMALES:

 

Same as MALES just change M to F. Example= MDwaf to FDwarf

 

 

 

Weapons

 

 

c:\program files\Lineage II\systextures\LineageWeaponsTex

 

 

Importing DDS:

 

Make a New folder anywhere you want. Extract inside it the l2tools and l2decrypt.

Now copy the texture you want inside the folder you put the programs above , i ll take as example Weapons = LineageWeaponsTex.

When you copy it drag and drop it on the program l2decrypt.

A dos window will appear.Leave it till it says the following:

 

 

Then press enter to close it.

After that a file will appear with name LineageWeaponsTex.clear.

Now run the l2tool .

Find where it says dds and next to it there is a button "..." without the quotes.

Press it , find your dds file you want to import in this case a weapon.

Select it and open. Then under the dds is the utx and next of it there is again a button "..." without the quotes.

Press it, find the LineageWeaponsTex.clear file , select it and open it.

A list of weapons will appear. For example i want to add Angel Slayer. I should find the file angel_slayer_t00_wp_ori on the list.

Select it and press the button "set" without the quotes.

A window will appear like this:

 

 

Then press ok and close l2tool.

Well you ll though that its an error...No! You are on the right way!!! ;D

So know you imported the weapon, but you are not done yet.

Drag and drop the LineageWeaponsTex.clear on l2decrypt.

A dos window will appear again.

Leave it till it says the following:

 

 

Then press enter to close it.

After that a will appear with name LineageWeaponsTex.crypt

We are on the final step, copy that file on C:/Program Files/Lineage II/systextures.

Delete the LineageWeaponsTex file and rename LineageWeaponsTex.crypt to LineageWeaponsTex.

 

Yoooooohooooo!I made it!!! ;D

LOL have fun with your new weapon texture!!!

man importing dds files it means that you change the texture of weapon. it means that you replace the original weapon texture with one of your choice.That's what you did.

it is very good guide, realy, but you tell how to change UTX to crypt files, but if i want to change colors on some set or weapon i need to change UTX to DDS and open it with photoshop, change the colors and then change the edited DDS to UTX, and how can i make it?

1st of all you dont change utx to dds. You just take from utx the dds files. Utx is like a folder with dds files inside. In this guide i show how to replace the normal dds to a custom one. If you want to learn how to edit look down at Useful Guides
