Changes: TEX

Revision as of 08:32, 7 June 2019

TEX is a file format for compressing textures in Don't Starve and Don't Starve Together. It is a derivative of the DXT (S3 Texture Compression) file format. Sometimes unimplemented items and character portraits can be found by opening TEX files from the game files.

Most images or icons in this wikia are directly converted from TEX files.

TEX location

TEX files in Don't Starve are usually located under \Don't Starve\data.

Here is a list of useful TEX locations:

\Don't Starve\data\bigportraits
\Don't Starve\data\images
\Don't Starve\data\inventoryimages
\Don't Starve\data\minimap
\Don't Starve\data\portraits

When doing actions involving core game files, one should be careful and make a backup.

TEX Decompression

To read a TEX file, it is required to decompress it into any visible image format (usually PNG).
