Valkyria Chronicles texture extraction/replacement tool
This tool enables you to extract and replace any texture in the game. This quickly gets technical and I don’t have extensive documentation, so it might be not be intuitive to people new to modding. All textures in the game are in DDS format. They’re usually in MLX (files with models, textures, and/or other data), HTX (files containing only texture data), and Valkyria.exe (contains all the button prompt textures created for the PC port).
When editing textures I highly recommend using nvidia’s official DDS tools (their photoshop plugin or their command prompt tools). You can find these utilities here:

You can download the texture tool from here: http://www.fluffyquack.com/tools/VCtool.rar
Usage information:
- Drag'n'drop files onto the extract.bat and replace.bat batch files in Windows explorer.
OR
- Use it in command prompt (ie, “vctool -x valcA02aD_h.mlx” to extract, “vctool -r valcA02aD_h.mlx” to replace)
