ytd Trying to convert already modded YTD File to DDS

[ForFrodo 0]

Hi there I am trying to edit the colour of Arthurs eyes similar to this mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/1992?tab=files

I have tried to use OpenIV to open the .YTD files through the Texture Viewer/Editor through my LML folder but it wont allow me.

 

 

I believe it's due to the file not being encrypted (In the attributes section the non-modded .YTD Files all say encrypted)

As I can open all the other .YTD Files within my game folder that are un-Modded.

I am trying to convert the already modded .YTD File to .DDS so I can open using the RDR2 Texture Toolkit to change the colour to more of my liking. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated with this problem I am facing. 🙂

It should not have anything to do with whether they are encrypted or not. But it looks like something else is off with that file judging by the resource version. I suspect that the header or something else is changed in a way where OpenIV refuses to open it.

So how I would I go about fixing this? Perhaps change the header?

Hard to say, it is possible this was changed deliberately to prevent others from opening it in OIV. You could study it in a hex editor and see if you spot some obvious discrepancies and then manually fix them, like the resource version. But it might be hard task.
