Problem with Virtual Textures

[bdm]

Well I got the F-TexTools installed and working somehow. Seems the binaries link (http://www.celestialmatters.org/users/t ... .0pre4.zip) has a Windows installer in the Win32_PC.bin directory and this one worked...

Although all the examples in the Readme file used gzip, I have found that gzip is not necessary.

I started with an 8192x4096 PNG file generated by Photoshop, and ended up with some VT tiles in four levels. Here are the simple scripts that I wrote to do this:

8k.bat

Code: Select all

png2bin.exe < %1 | txtiles 4 8192 3 9

4k.bat

Code: Select all

png2bin.exe < %1 | tx2half.exe 4 8192 | txtiles.exe 4 4096 2 9

2k.bat

Code: Select all

png2bin.exe < %1 | tx2half.exe 4 8192 | tx2half.exe 4 4096 | txtiles.exe 4 2048 1 9

1k.bat

Code: Select all

png2bin.exe < %1 | tx2half.exe 4 8192 | tx2half.exe 4 4096 | tx2half.exe 4 2048 | txtiles.exe 4 1024 0 9

Good!

What is important is that you can call all tools by just bei their name at the cmd prompt of any Windows directory and get a brief help output. This confirms that the tools are properly installed.

Indeed, that Link for the F-TexTool installer was not OK. Many people have downloaded it previously... Kind of mysterious.

Anyway I have replaced it by the installer in the .ZIP archive which is just the correct one. So everyone is welcome to download the Win32 installer from here
