Well,
Hello everyone, I've currently stumbled onto some models that use TGA skins, So.
With the Wc3 Viewer, I changed it into a BLP.
I opened up the model with the Wc3 Model Editor, and made it instead use the lot smaller, but same quality skin.
The skin Applied. But, it was upside down. I opened both skins up and looked and sure enough the TGA was Right side up and the blp had somehow turned upside down.
I've tried this with a few of the models some of the skins went upside down, some stayed upright.
What am I Doing wrong?
Thank you For spending the time to read this. =]

That sounds like it'd turn out really weird on the unit :D. I guess you would just halve to vertically flip it in photoshop/irviewfan or whatever your using until its rightside up :) Sorries I dont model very much

hopefully this tutorial help: here

If it flips the BLP upside down, try flipping the TGA upside down. Then maybe it would go upright. :)

Thank you both, =]
I'm sorry for my slow response, I've been trying to figure this out.
Hmm... You know, I should have thought of that, thank you both. I will try it and respond shortly if it works.

Just tried it.
I Flipped the TGA upside down,
the BLP stayed the same way. So the Model still has upside down Textures. Is there a way to edit the blp to flip the texture?
Thank you guys for your help so far, =]

If its normal, it flips it.
If its flipped. it stays?

Thats not possible is it?
There is no way for a computer to 'know' which way up it is.

Well,
It seems pretty possible, and Unless you want me to go download some kinda of video recorder and show you. You have to take my word.
Because if it wasn't possible, I Wouldn't of posted this thread. xD
Hopefully someone will post in a way to slove/combat this problem.

The model could be corrupted

I don't believe the model is corrupt, as it works, with both the upside down blp skin,
and the huge right side up tga skin.

Also, fixing the skin would have nothing to do with the model so I don't feel "obligated" of putting it up, also if you want it, it is located on a website, do some searching.

Players probably wouldn't notice, but I'd rather fix this, if not, Owell, tho it will be more noticeable on the AUG and other guns I have.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
