Error loading VTF texture:

Error:
File version 7.5 does not match 7.0 to 7.4

Here is how to open and edit one:

• Using GFCScape (or a similar program) extract the materials you want out of the Pak01_dir.vpk- Open your texture in a Hex editor (you can find some free ones on the net. A good example is PspPad)- We want to edit the number 05 in the first line into 04 so then your VTF editing program can read the file. The number should be in the 8th hex digit value.

E.G. So you change:
Into:

DO NOT SAVE OVER VALVE'S ORIGINAL FILE IN THE VPK. CREATE A SEPARATE FILE UNDER A DIFFERENT NAME.- Edit to your hearts' content.
Until VTFedit and different plugins are updated this will be the only method to edit custom textures (other than using Valve's console texture convertor).

...except the newest versions of VTFEdit and the PDN VTF plugin can open, edit, and save VTF 7.5 files.

Yeah, Nem's site is confusing. Grab a copy of the latest VTFEdit here:

I downloaded the newest version a day ago and it didn't work. Gosh I feel stupid now :S

For those who are as lazy as and have problems with Nems newest version: I whipped a program together, which does the Binary work stuff.

Donload: #### ChickenMobile did not approve of my program.
VTFer.exe

Enjoy.

Edit: It reqires Microsoft .Net Framework 4

I don't like the look of this post. People don't download the link.

Well... new user with only one post and a link to a extern file-hoster for a .exe

I checked it with virustotal.com:

https://www.virustotal.com/de/file/6f5f ... 370167217/

Analysis and File details are looking normal and code size is in range for such a small prog.

Also, I read the post yesterday and it didn't include the link...

Anyways, no viruses/malware/spyware with Smart Security 6.0 and Avast 8.0.... Hmmm... maybe other kind of dangerous thinghie?

EDIT: Finally Works. @Haggis If you have a 64 bit system, just download the archived version of vtfedit and run the 32 bit .exe (x86)
