Texture.bin

[Malc]

Hi,

Can anyone help me with the texture.bin... I tried through perl, using Julians scripts, but no joy, get a 0k file... tried the new Pathmaker tool, but just crashes on me all the time... this is driving me nuts... can anyone help?

wich tetxture.bin are you trying to convert..

do you want to convert the Korea texture.bin in to textfile format

or they otherway around

I dont have experience yet with Pathmaker as I write the texture.bin manually till all tiles are finnished...then I am going to specifie terraintype and roads/rivers/coast

Please specify excactly what you want
either I can explain it to you or else send the files an I convert them for ya

Its the file TEXTURE.BIN as found in the terrdata\korea\texture directory. I'm trying to convert it to text so I can add the new textures from T-Bone to it. This way I can check them out ingame.

To date I have simply renamed them and added to the texture.zip, but obviously this is no good in the long term.

Yes, I downloaded a package called zipslack, a linux OS. After installing/setting it up, I reboot to start the session in DOS mode (Win95 release C). Once the Linux is started, I type "PERL".
The I type "tbin2txt.pl texture.bin >texture.txt". I leave the PC for 10 mins, come back, and the display hasn't changed at all, so I restart the system and from within Windows I find the file "texture.txt", but it has a filelength of zero K, and sure enough is empty... at this point I shout, swear, kick, punch, and generally abuse the PC, but that doesn't help either...

Bemused as ever...

Aha...! Dudi has just sent me a new .exe for Pathmaker, and it works! I now have the new tiles added to the .bin file! Thamks Dudi, that's another favor I owe you! Thanks Widowmaker for the help! I love this PC of mine, better stop kicking it for now...!
