Texture Tools

[rajkosto]

dds2txa:
Does the reverse operation, that is, given a .dds and .txt file (you can use either as parameter or drag and drop source), it will generate a txa file compatible with mxo.
Gives an error if encounters an incompatible format in .dds source (which can happen, depends on your exporter settings)
The formats to use are:
ARGB (uncompressed 32bit RGB with alpha),
V8U8 (2 component normal map data, uncompressed),
DXT1 (compressed texture, with no alpha),
DXT3 (compressed texture, with non-interpolated alpha, prefer DXT5 instead)
DXT5 (compressed texture, with interpolated (better) alpha)

Cubemaps are supported, as long as all 6 faces are defined.

Both tools are included in the txatools.zip archive

You may be wondering, why release such a tool when we can't really do much with asset modification, given that packmaps are sort-of set in stone
Well, stay tuned for more
