Thread to help me with 2014 World Cup stadiums

Hi
I'm preparing an update for 2014 World Cup mod, so I decided to solve the problem of stadiums once and for all.
However I have a problem with this

I converted stadiums to FIFA 14 in the past, but the process I and probably you also used resulted in this corrupted texture.
One could say I should convert all dds textures stored in fifa_tools folder to png. I tried, did it with one texture to try if it changed a thing. It changed nothing, so I'm asking to you, FIFA 14 community.
Does anyone have any idea how can I properly export these stadiums, so they can be edited?

Converting dds to png should help. Also see if the textures are in the right order (diffuse, ambient, coeff and so on. Usually you need to change only the diffuse and ambient textures positions.

I don't know what order should be.
With an order like this

I somehow made the roof transparent

This looks the right order. I guess one of the diffuse textures is for night time, so you can place it at the bottom of all others.

If you converted all dds to png it should look fine. You have to re-apply every png texture to it's part in blender manually. Did you do this?

I tested one part as a test if it works
It's the roof, I did converted all of its textures and it doesn't seem to work

6/12 stadiums are converted to fifa 16 by humbertoaze and he said he will also do the rest.
You can convert those, its easier

1. I'm not sure what's with stadium dressings in these stadiums. Because considering it, we need to differentiate 2 purposes - one is 2014 World Cup mod, another is an usual use
2. I'd need to edit them anyway to have crowds matching with flags
3. most importantly, I don't want to rely on other's work in this way, since to have it finished, I'd constantly beg them to do the rest of the stuff

Ok, there is a progress. With the help of ChatGPT, I made a script in Blender which replaced all .dds with .pngs which I converted and added suffix _new to it
It still needs to be refined to make it as straightforward as possible.
I still didn't figured out how to automatize swapping places between ambient and diffuse, but at least it doesn't look like a buggy mess.

.pngs are in the same folder as .ddss' placed where texture stadiums, so "fifa_tools" in this case

I made ChatGPT tired of trying and didn’t accomplish. Is this really work?
