Knyazev : TDUMT II - Texture Tools [v1.0]

[Knyazev]

It's great! :) Thank you very much! :)

 

Soon I'll be do the public release of RC-version of 2DB->DDS->2DB Converter :)

 

Best regards, Knyazev.

[Djey]

Yes Knyazev you have right

Now I tried to edit a texture of the 458 Italia and work :)

Now I go test the multiple conversion of the file .2DB and .DDS I'll tell you the result

Hi,

 

so you said when modifying the 2DB file there is no issue ?

 

Please confirm with latest Mini Bnk Manager (2.0.2.1) and the F430 Scuddy :).

 

Very, very weird guys, for now I don't know how to defiantly solve this without forcing a texture modification before repack.

 

Sorry for offtopic.

Hey Knyazev,

I just want to say thank you! - thanks for your invested time/your tool. :thumbsup:

Unfortunately I could not help with beta-testing - More precisely, I can not even find the time to test MT2 extensively. :(

 

best regards

Stefan

Hi! :)

Thanks, but I'll try to create much better tool :)

[Minime891]

Just thought i would say about mipmaps.

 

I use this for some textures but not all.

So does this tool know to convert a texture without mipmaps and for example a texture that has been saved with 10 should have 8.

 

Almost all programs i think save the dds with 2 more mipmaps than needed for TDU.

[Knyazev]

Thanks! :)

 

In the next versions I'll try to do this option (MipMap count) in my tool :) Beginning already made! :)

[Knyazev]

Beta-testing #3 started! :)

Testing feature "View 2DB file" ...

 

I sent the invite to previous active beta-testers! He is one. :D

 

To participate in this beta-testing you need to write me a PM with subject "beta #3" :)

I'm send to you link to download this tool + instructions. :)

[Reventón09]

I tested your new version and I have found a problem:

When I go on "View 2DB" the program give me this error:

 

-- OLD IMAGE REMOVED (imageshack) --

[Knyazev]

Thanks! :)

 

It's the strange library, DevIL.NET.dll :\

 

I'll try to use a Microsoft.Xna.Framework library for viewing 2DB files.

[Reventón09]

This time I have this error :(

 

-- OLD IMAGE REMOVED (imageshack) --

[Knyazev]

Thanks for the testing! :)

 

But, I don't know, what the problem. :(

 

At me works fine!

Windows 7 Ultimate x86, .NET Framework 2.0, 3.5, 3.5 SP1, 4.0.

Don't installed Xna Framework!

Now I use the Microsoft.Xna.Framework library.

 

Very strange. I use "try / catch" methods.

These windows (with exceptions) should not open...

 

I'll continue to search the libraries (.NET) that can work with DDS files.

[Knyazev]

Work on the function of the view 2DB files I have postponed indefinitely.

Now I'm finishing work on the GUI of the tool, and then I'll release the first public version.

[Knyazev]

Beta #4 soon...

 

Now I'm using C++ library for working with DDS file format.

and now, I renamed this tool to: TDU2: Texture Converter ( right name? Texture or Textures Converter? )

 

and I want to create sub-app into this converter, named as: Texture Viewer, but I'm see the same tool here (Texture Browser)

[Djey]

Good luck !

 

Texture Browser is not a standalone tool, it's a Zmodeler module

ZModeler2 homepage

 

... very famous app for 3D designers/converters to mod games (including our TDUs :) )

[Knyazev]

Thank you. :)

Yes, I know this 3D-editor, I used it before (v1.07b, I converted some cars to NFS series), but I didn't know that there is, this module - Texture Browser. :D

My NFS cars here :D

 

I'll be create the Texture Viewer app, before beta-testing #4 of TDU2 Texture Converter :)

 

The beta #4 will be include:

TDU2 Texture Converter - for converting 2DB/DDS textures.

TDU2 Texture Viewer - for viewing only 2DB textures.

+ DDS (C++) library.

 

Name of this set of tools is - Texture Tools (the first idea by Djey) :D

2. DDSlib.dll - small library for displaying DDS textures. (by Seriema)

3. TDU2_Texture_Converter.exe - tool for converting 2DB/DDS textures. [WiP, v0.4b]

The start of beta-testing #4 will be available today or tommorow :) I have a lot of work with this tools. :\

 

Checking the news in this topic :)

 

oO Very different font sizes in these tools. Maybe it's to fix? What are you think about it? :)

Where is the best font-size/font-type?

 

Thanks for attention :)

 

Best regards, very tired Knyazev. :D

[tomsolo]
