Runtiles 2010 Upgrade Project
Posted: 2009-07-23 17:21:38
Okay guys, its now 2009 and we are still running the ancient 2001 dating runtiles batch alchemy method of creating tiles for our terrains.
I think its time to for a change... we need a brand new set of tools to create the tiles!
I'm now proposing that first we as community use google and search all around the net for all kinds of image resizing and color palette adjusting solutions found from the web. These could be anything; ready to be used utils, free or commercial, source codes, code snippets, scripts, what ever. Anything that gets the job done. If anyone finds something, please post the links / names into this topic.
It would be ideal if there are already some solutions like tools that can resize images in batch mode (I know irfanview can do this already) but even better if they handle the T tiles fartiles thingy for us.
If everything else fails and we have to make something of our own, then naturally we should aim high and create tool that just takes your H tile and generates anything necessary from this file then, taking into consideration the texture.bin tile-sets and all. But ok lets not get ahead of ourselfs but first find out if there are tools to be use already made by someone else.
So please, take your time in google and search for some utils and paste links / results here.
Thank you.
