request texture tutorial help

Post by Joker621 »

Sirs,
I need some helps.
I've revised some tiles and following texture tutorial I've created H,M,L,T tiles, and I've created a NEW texture.zip.
Then I've created texture.txt.
Now my great problem: I'm unable to create my own texture.bin file.
I use perl script, but just first set of tiles is loaded in the new texture.bin.
Really I've 69 set and 569 tiles, but only set 0 is loaded. Please, what do I do? Please, help me.
when I run perl command (./txt2tbin.pl texture.txt >texture.bin) the DOS box displays first set of tiles read, and a lot of: unkwon file HBASE331, etc.......

Suggest you try Fred Balding's tools instead, use Pathmaker for this task. Much easier (IMHO).

Hi Malcolm,
thanks for reply.
I've tried pathmaker, but it CTD.
Maybe, I've not understood texture.bin file.
WHEN must I create texture.bin file???
I'm ready with:
all tiles and new texture.zip, theater.L2, -.o2, etc, CATE configs...
I'll start tiling my new theater.L2 with CATE, using my new texture.zip.
Then, final check using terrainview, then I'll create texture.bin. Is't right???
Then I must edit theater.map and create <theatername>.thr using PathMaker, right?
Then LODfixer to convert theater.L2 to 4 bytes, ok?
So, it's time for SPTinstall, ok?
I've still some troubles, but them are for future.
Thanks in advance for your help.
regards.

The texture.bin must be created whenever you add new tilesets. Note tilesets here - if you replace Korea tiles graphivs, no change is required, only if you add them.

If you wanna send me an email address, I can send you a version of Pathmaker which definitely works, and some other hints, etc
