I don’t recommend doing this. Doing this might mess up the files especially if you extract zipped files. Make sure that your textures are found inside of an images folder (or any appropriate folder inside the images folder), which in turn is inside a Content folder inside your texture pack folder. Considering that the icon and texture pack shows up, there is nothing wrong with the icon or .json files.
i made it like that... it shows up in terraria under "texture packs" with the intended icon, yet when i activate it, it wont change the sprites.
Perhaps the sprites have different size and the game goes crazy and stupid, or is reading the file with correct size but no changes done; somehow there are multiple same sprites files overthere.
I compressed them to the smallest size i could. No Go.
You made too much small or you resize to the original game size?
no go: i even tried copying a file from another tex pack and pasting it into my own, and it wont do its thing.
maybe i should just give up.
No bro, don't say that, keep in, perhaps it's hard, but not impossible; keep trying, it will work. Send screenshots, they will help to get more accurate solutions. These threads are maded for fix all kind of texture pack problems, and their people will help with pleasure, keep asking.
In the "Images" folder only must be XNB files, it should be why it's not working.
Oh, the tutorial I was following implied that it should be png
I think the dude forget to mention the convertion part. Convert the images into XNB ones, and it should work, there many converters over the forum.
I figured out my problem, i didn't know you can't change the sprite sizes -__-
That is, there is nothing for me?
I would like to avoid changing the game files themselves. i want to be able to switch back and forth.
I also don't want to change the game files and be able to switch, but due to the innovations of terraria, I can't do this.
