CHANGETEX v0.03 - ALL ABOUT CHANGETEX
This is a small and extremely easy App to use. It will let you not only see all the Textures of a particular Model, but also tells you what DXT Encoded Format they're in as well as Dimensions. With ChangeTex you can export Textures and import them back in with a few button presses. There isn't much to this App, though, so I'll tell you all about it quickly.
Screen Layout
The screen layout is simple and small.
- File Path - This is the File Path of the file that you're currently working with.
- Browse Button - Use this to browse to and load the File you wish to work with.
- Texture Name - Not necessarily important to simple projects, but does come into play when using advanced techniques in VRS.
- Texture Format - Very important. This tells you the proper DXT Format that your .BMP will need to be converted to.
- Texture Dimensions - Also very important. You cannot resize your textures. If you do, you will run into conversion and importing problems.
- Import Button - After you're done with your Textures, this will import them back into the .DAT.
- Export Button - After you load the .DAT you want to edit, this exports the Textures to useable files.
