Question 
   Hey so I'm currently working on a texture pack, it's chugging along pretty well but a problem I'm noticing is that some textures seem to not dump. These are textures that I see almost constantly across many different areas of the game so it's very noticeable and I really can't tell why they won't dump.

   Any ideas/solutions? I'm probably missing something really obvious.

I don't know your method exactly so I can't give you specific help yet. But for me, the usual reason I encounter this is simply because I turned on texture dumping before entering area, thinking the game would load a texture for that area upon entering that area, however the game had loaded the textures beforehand and I simply missed it. That is likely what you are encountering as well? I recommend just turning on dumping before even starting the game to make sure you get absolutely everything.

Isn't there some option to explude some textures from dumping?

Anyway, some things that are used the same way as textures are not textures. EFB copies are an example of that. You can dump those, but to my knowledge there is no option to replace them the same way you can replace textures. If some actual textures on walls or similar are not dumping, i assume the issue lies somewhere else. As a last resort you could enable dumping EFB copies and see if your missing textures are in there.

I've almost always had texture dumping turned on before launching the game so I really don't know. I'll try what mimimi suggested and dump the EFB textures for now.

I tried enabling the EFB dump but I didn't really find much I could make use of in there. The only way I know that textures get excluded (for me anyway) is if I already have an enhanced version of the texture being loaded. If that's the case then the game does not dump the original texture or my changed textures into the dump folder.

Update: I think the issue might be that the textures in question are arranged on a "spreadsheet" instead of being a singular texture. So the texture actually is getting dumped it's just that it's such a small part of the texture that even testing it with an AI upscaler produces vague results even upwards of 4k resolutions.

For example in a texture I've been trying to upscale there are some small flowers near the top that are used a lot in the game, but they are such a small part of the texture that the difference in resolution is negligible. That's my thinking anyway, I'm sure many, more knowledgeable people here would know more.

This has been mentioned in the past but no issue has been reported (at least a quick search doesn't show anything). Feel free to open an issue report and include a fifo-log with it so we can try to replicate the problem.
