I ran this and now my lovely eye of zomm is white again...but ran into spectres in Qeynos Aquaduct that have the Human model. Related?

Hello,

Very excited for this but alas it isn't working for me. It says 'patch successful' in the batch file command prompt window but before that it says the following (to give one example, though it seems to do this in every case):

Making backup file veeshan_obj.s3d.old..
Access is denied.
0 files copied.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony\Everquest\veeshan_obj.s3d
Access is denied.
Patching veeshan_obj.s3d..
transpfx: Invalid input or no file found


At the top it merely says

transpfx: Invalid input or no file found


Am I doing something wrong? If I've missed something obvious or made a stupid mistake or whatever, please excuse my tech noobness

Thanks.

run the batch from an admin command prompt. Since your install is in program files it's a "protected directory" so you need admin rights to modify files within it.

From like Windows 8 onward you can just right click the Start button and choose Command Prompt (Admin).

That is why some people install P99 somewhere outside of program files.

Alright so I ran patch_s3d_textures in the administrator command prompt ('cmd', right click 'run as administrator') and also ran patch_s3d_textures.bat (the first time I forgot to add .bat to the command in the command prompt). Unfortunately my barbarian's helm horns still have black spots on them. Anyone else have this issue? I ran patch_s3d_textures.bat a second time later as well.

Just ran it again so I could post what shows up in the command prompt. For most of the entries (at least toward the end -- there are a lot of entries) it says something like the following:

Patching veeshan_obj.s3d..
veeshan_obj\nerbraz.bmp


There is one instance where it says something different from what I can see scrolling up:

Patching veeshan_chr.s3d..
transpfx: Multiple files encountered where only one was expected
Patch failed. Restoring old veeshan_chr.s3d..
1 file(s) copied.



Again please excuse my tech noobness and please accept my thanks for making this fix in the first place! (Whatever nitpicks I have aside I'm extremely grateful for the fix which seems perfect aside from this one small cosmetic issue)

You can right click the command prompt window's titlebar and choose properties and then increase the height buffer under layout so you can see the entire output:

[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Alternatively, you can add "> c:\temp\filename.txt" (without quotes, and call the filename whatever you want) and it should dump all the output text to that file which you can then more easily search.

Thanks. Worked.

veeshan_chr.s3d appears to be the one file that doesn't patch successfully. I guess I just have to get used to the black spots on my barbarian's helm horns.

Thanks for your help guys.

I didn't put these in the batch file format, but these are a few more textures that needed fixing in the low-res texture set: The oven/kiln doors all around, the fire pillars in Hate, and the torn tapestries in ToFS.

Code:
transpfx.exe gequip.s3d -mp ovendoor.bmp
transpfx.exe hateplane.s3d -mp fppil4.bmp
transpfx.exe hateplane.s3d -mp fpface.bmp
transpfx.exe frozenshadow_obj.s3d -mp tapestrymayons.bmp
