SDD header (Just Dance 2015-2019 - Wii)

Post by TomatoJuice17 »

I'm trying to create my own textures for JD2019, but when I open the .tga.ckd files in HxD, the header instead of saying DDS says SDD, and when I open it in Photoshop or Paint.net it opens with error.

someone has a solution?


This is what the header looks like:

Try this:
https://zenhax.com/download/file.php?id=6363

It's a plugin for Noesis.
Download noesis and put it in the plugins folder.

The problem is that this script only works to export textures already created to other formats, I want to create my textures and introduce them to the game (i alredy used that script) :(

Could you export a SDD file to a DDS file with noesis and then send me both files please?

Sorry for taking so long to respond, my work has me busy and I forget to answer you but here are the files:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1uKWfbwrh2s1PrfG7wRrRn3MarOTDsE7M

In the folder there's a file divided in two (the photo and the mask), a combined photo in .DDS which the background isn't transparent because the .DDS files don't support it, a photo combined in .PNG with the transparent background, and the .TGA.CKD original file.

The problem I have is that i wanna convert my .DSS files to .TGA.CKD, but it's awful with the wii textures, I already managed with success in Just Dance 2017 PC, but the project that I have in mind is for wii

PD: I already know how to combine them in Photoshop but that does not work for me, what I want is to convert them from .CKD to .DDS manually and vice versa

PD2: This is what it happens when I convert a .DDS file to .TGA.CKD:

Yeah, it looks like an Nvidia created DDS file that's been scrambled up a little.
So should be pretty simple to make a tool to convert normal DDS to this format.
I could take a look at it a little further and maybe come up with some simple script when I have time.
