[HELP] Importing *.tga crashes game

[Mike__]

Hi,

I have a server which I customized regularly.

Right now I am in the midst of editing the entire User Interface.
As the title says, I am getting some crashes when importing specific *.tga files.

To give two(2) examples where I am getting issues with are:
- character_select.tga ( )
- gatekeeper.tga ( )

Note: I am not having issues with other files being imported and I can successfully see them in-game.

One other thing I experience is upon importing 'some' tga files, some textures and 3DCs are being affected for some weird reasons.
- auction_objectsearch.tga is the one file I saw for sure affecting 3DC and it's texture.

* I am aware of the file sizes the game requires
* I am using Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 to edit the tga files
* I am aware of the proper implementation of Alpha Channels
* I am saving them in bits/pixel where Alpha Channels are considered
* I am using Shaiya Data File Tool V2 to import the tga files
* I am using EP5 game files
* I am using 5.1 game.exe if i am not mistaken

Anyone who has knowledge about this who can help me and/or anyone have experienced this before?

If you have any questions about the matter that I fail to mention that will help understanding the question, please let me know.

Thanks,
Mike

If you still get problems and want to verify if your tga's are corrupted or if it is just the tool you're using you can always upload them via the updater, it required a little bit of extra work but back then I would do that when I was uncertain of what was causing problems.

I will try and use the V1 and V3 first before doing anything else.

Thanks man, I highly appreciate it.

Update:

This is done.

V3 worked for me.
If anyone will experience this, just use this:



Thanks!
