Texture Tools

<div class="IPBDescription">Can't find what I need</div> Hi guys,

I've been looking for the tools I need to put together a HL wad but have been unsucessful.

I finally managed to download the original texture tools (had to get the full SDK). Problem is that I don't have any software to convert my images in to compatible bitmaps. I remember I used to use some random freeware tools but I can't find anything like this again. I've tried using jasc PSP 6 but it wont let me set the right format and I've tried using some texture tool called "Bright" from Epic but when I try and compile it just crashes qlumpy.

Is there a complete package now that can do it all, e.g. convert the image files and put them in to a wad?

Cheers,

Meto

    PS can convert to bitmap.... can't it?

    If you get really stuck I know for a fact <a href='http://www.gimp.org/' target='_blank'>the Gimp</a> converts images almost flawlessly. Just open the image and save it to the new image type.

    It's been a while since I used PSP6, but isn't their an "options" button on the save as dialog? (for setting the bitmap type)

    Wally is great, and it opens most of the major file types.

    What I need is something to save 32bit TGAs , PSP 8 only does 24bit so I loose my transparancy when I save my source textures <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Highly unlikely. Probably nuked though, since it's above limits.

    Well obviously your best bet is to get Photoshop. But that can be pricey. I'm not sure if this allows you to save as 32bit targas, but you can try it out. It's free <a href='http://www.gimp.org/' target='_blank'>http://www.gimp.org/</a>
