cj2000 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Ehy just a question, are you gonna do a variant for open ps2 texture files? (.chk) it will be so nice! I don´t want to tallk for the developers of this tool, but if I remeber right, there is a post here somewhere, telling that the tool is focused on txd format. However suporting stories chk shouldn´t be as hard, because the raster format is the same as LCS mobile version. The_GTA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HackMan128 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) Will be possible to use it for batch compression but not pack all textures into one txd in case of building radar? It would be a good option for the light version of Magic TXD. Edited March 29, 2017 by HM128 The_GTA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash_735 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Stories formats are not linked to RenderWare in any way so they won't be included in this tool, if other RW games use TXD though then an example could be sent to The_GTA for research and possibly support inclusion in future builds.

It would be a good option for the light version of Magic TXD.Stand-alone images in the root directory of build folder turned directly into TXD files? Weird I never thought this way. Good suggestion, added to list. NOTE: Because CodePlex is shutting down I need to move the codebase, possibly to OSDN. Approval process, ugh. Many projects, svn:externals. Takes time.

Minhkute360 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 The_GTA, I think of new feature: I want to righ-click on a folder that contains many .txd files to select "MagicTXD->Find texture..." to find a texture image that is inside one or many .txd. For e.g: A folder contains some these weapon files: ak47.txd, colt45.txd, katana.txd, bomb.txd, microuzi.txd. OK, I want to right-click on this folder to select "MagicTXD->FInd texture...", then a box appears and I type "gun_muzzle" in search field of the box, then the MagicTXD will scan this folder to find any txd files that contain the texture "gun_muzzle". You can guess which file it will find out: ak47.txd, colt45.txd, microuzi.txd because only these files contains "gun_muzzle" texture. The files after being found out are listed in this search box, then I want to righ-click on one or some of them to choose: "Delete/Delete forever/Open/Compress/Set Mipmap/... In shorten word, the right-click feature in next build much be a very useful utility for helping us edit the texture! The_GTA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien31 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Also, i want the Version for CHK's (doesn't exist for now...) because there is a tool, but doesn't export the alpha, maybe you will say "who cares, we are in 2017! gta VCS and LCS are past" well for me not, those are beautiful and good games, but i want to rip them for 2 reasons 1. they are very nice, and i'm converting them as a "MOD" for Garry's mod a game on steam... 2. they are good for posing and i want to do a poster in Blender... But also yes, ik i'm asking too many freaking times to open the GAME.DTZ but i need those goddamn wheels... why R* din't do a .img file like the others? damn, i wish they do VCS Mobile version ah and here is a pick of the tool... Fully functional... but doesn't export as PNG or other image files, you can export alpha but i want the image with alpha arledy done! like Magic TXD The_GTA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guard3 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 (edited) Is it anything specific? Because you basically click on batch converter and you specify the folder of the txds you want converted, the output folder of converted txds, platform, game version and stuff like mipmaping, compression etc. If your folder also contains imgs with txds inside, the tool will also convert those txds in separate folders or create a new img if you so desire Edited August 24, 2017 by guard3 The_GTA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 (edited) BC4 ftw (SA should actually support it on d3d10-compatible hardware, not sure if you can use it with Magic TXD).

LaDiDa Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 BC4 ftw (SA should actually support it on d3d10-compatible hardware, not sure if you can use it with Magic TXD). From what I gathered though BC4 would only be an option for grayscale images since it doesn't store in RGB Would still be a nice option to have though (even if not entirely usefull since SA doesn't actually have specular maps and/or height maps that would benefit from this format over DXT compression).

The Hero Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 (edited) There's an easy way of doing this that I've used before (I just don't remember what for, maybe my fixed III generic.txd or gta3d stuff) - Extract all TXDs into separate directories so that you can rebuild all of them again - Have one directory where you keep all your changed textures (let's call it 'common') - Write a script that goes into every texture directory and try to replace all textures in there with ones having the same name from 'common'. If the texture is there, it will be replaced, if it's not there, the copy will just fali. This way all textures that can be updated, are. - Rebuild all TXDs - Rebuild IMG Edited September 3, 2017 by The Hero re3, reVC Tools: RenderWare file converter, DFF importer and exporter for 3ds max III, VC, SA: SkyGfx: PS2 and Xbox graphics for PC, PS2 and Xbox vehicles for PC, Debug menu III, VC: rwd3d9, sharptrails, PS2 and Xbox map for PC III: Skin and Bones, Into TheTimecycle!!!, LC98 VC: Beta Infernus, Phoenix and Cop car SA: PS2 to PC map General: Simple DLL loader My Workshop.
