Texture dump/inject in LET IT DIE

Games
1

Has anyone been able to successfully inject textures? It’s an old UE3 game and I am having issues.
It uses DirectX9 so newer versions of Special K likely don’t support it, but I did manage to dump a few textures (manually, auto dump on first load does not work for some reason)
The inject folder has X MB of injectable textures, that much Special K can tell -but they are all appearing as ‘blocked’ in the texture mod window.
Further logging would certainly help here, because it’s not clear to me why this is happening.
I am guessing after texture edits I exported it in a wrong format? I used UEViewer to check the Texture format, all textures in game are ‘PF_DXT1’ format, which I thought is just DXT1 option when exporting as .dds in paint.net and gimp

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

I did manage to find some exceptions in the textures.log generated, though it doesn’t say much.

Are you serious Special K

The tool did not make the correct folders in the root directory
I only managed to inject textures by chance when I happened across this post on steam How to change textures of some games? :: Special K - "Kaldaien's Mod"
I had to create a streaming folder inside textures like: LET IT DIE\SK_Res\inject\textures\streaming_hash_.dds

Also,I want to know what these statistics mean here and if they bear any significance to anything? @Aemony

Also it seems textures are not dumped correctly, when I copy-paste the texture from dump folder back into injection folder, the texture appears black instead

D3D9 stuff in general has questionable support and functionality nowadays, and I don’t believe there’s many that even uses or knows how D3D9 texture modding works (if it even works).

I personally have absolute zero experience with all of these things sadly.
