About TEXTURE files

A .texture file is a generic game asset format used by various engines, most notably the Diesel Engine (used in PAYDAY 2) and the Auran Jet engine (used in Trainz Simulator). While they serve the same purpose - wrapping visual textures for 3D models - the internal structure varies significantly by game. In titles like PAYDAY 2, these files are often standard DDS (DirectDraw Surface) or PNG images disguised with a custom extension to manage asset loading. In Trainz, they can be compiled binary textures optimized for the game engine.

A key problem with .texture files is their opacity; standard image viewers like Microsoft Photos or Adobe Photoshop cannot open them directly because they do not recognize the extension or the proprietary headers used by specific engines. This creates friction for modders and developers trying to extract, edit, or archive game assets. To modify these textures or view them easily, users should convert them to standard, widely supported formats.

Best Conversion Targets:

For Editing & Modding: Convert to PNG or TGA. These formats support alpha transparency (essential for game decals) and are lossless, preserving the pixel data for re-editing.
For Re-importing: Convert back to DDS if the specific game engine requires pre-compressed textures.
For Quick Viewing: Convert to JPG for a lightweight preview, though transparency will be lost.
For Archiving: Use PNG to store the texture assets without compression artifacts.
