Use Noesis to convert them into a PNG by using the batch extract:

$inpath$\$inname$out.$outext$
Use this output path so that it doesn't extract into another folder.

You'll actually want to omit the first "out" from that and make it the following:

Code:

$inpath$\$inname$.$outext$

That way, you'll have filenames that match the respective DDS like "pm0025_00_00_body_a_alb.png", instead of "pm0025_00_00_body_a_albout.png".

I've been using QuickBMS and it's always outputting corrupted DDS files. they're viewable in Noesis and from there I use the Batch Extract to get them all converted into a PNG.

A side note is how can i get QuickBMS to extract into the same folder as the input, without it creating separate folders for each texture? it's really annoying to move them out every time i extract them.

Thinking about it again, it's very possible I might not have set some bytes in the header correctly all this time, and seeing as how nothing I've used had any issues with it, that might explain it. I blame all the duct tape I used to get that script in working condition.

And it's actually pretty easy to make it output to the same folder, for the simplest approach to that (literally a one-character change), near the beginning of the script you'll see this section:

Code:

get PATH basename
string PATH += /
getarray BRTISTART 0 i
string PATH += STRNAME

You can remove the + from that:

Code:

string PATH += STRNAME

...to get the following:

Code:

string PATH = STRNAME

This will override the "append to subfolder" approach and make them export to the same location as the BNTX or BFRES.

ah ye- in my latest extraction i did

Code:

$inpath$\$inname$_out.$outext$

might do that in later extraction, thanks


New Question! where do i find that? i'm still somewhat new to QuickBMS, and only recently i've been trying to figure stuff out.

I put my export stuff into a .bat file with this command stuff:

Code:

quickbms.exe -F "*.bntx" Switch_BNTX.bms "G:\pkmn\PLA-Trainers\chara\data\pc" ""

and so I have no idea where to find that in the script of whatever.
