I have no suggestions, just a question: what is the purpose of this file?
I did not find any info about it in the wiki.

I am interested in it for one reason. I have tried to add a tile-set into the texture.bin + zip + texture directory.
But I see just a portion (cca 2/3) of textures in terrainview tile-palette tab.

if I click:
View → View Tile List: shows a list window with all the known tiles in - I can see ALL my new textures on the list.
But when click
View → View Tile Palette: shows PCX tile palette, BUT 1/3 of textures is not visible. If I try to put invisible texture into the segment manually (via the right click + fill the tile number by hand) I got the red square (unknown texture). But I can see my texture no + texture name on the tile-list!

So I thaught I should perhaps edit my INI file. I just tried to add the name of the first missing texture, but nothing changed...
----------------
Texture.bin looks fine in Monsters terrain editor, even the exported text file looks fine(exporrted texture.bin).
I can use the complete new set in terraineditor. Unfortunally I still use terrain view most of the time...

Thanks
Luk

edit:
I just found this thread:
viewtopic.php?f=26&t=20740
It looks the ini file is for managing textures in the tabs. But still can not understand, why I can see some textures of the same set/name, but not all of them...

To put tiles in different tabs.

The tile is missing or has incompatible format, for example not 256 palette etc.

the palette is exactly the same for all files
all files are also the same in resolution(256x256)
all files are PCX textures

I have seen you dont have just first 5 characters of each set name in your custom ini file. You use the whole filename without extension very often.
for example:

Code: Select all

hfarmd52
hfarmd53
hfarmd54
hfarmd55
hfarmd56
hfarmd5d
I also tried to write down all my missing textures name(8 characters), but it did not helped...

There was a misstake in my texture.bin file - some of the texture names had bad extension.
