About:
+
VTFLib v1.3.2 - VTFLib is available in a two flavours. The Source Code Archive contains the
+ source code, library and prebuilt binaries for VTFLib, VTFEdit and VTFCmd. Download this if you want
+ to modify the library or example applications (or just see how it all works). The Binary
+ Archive contains library and prebuilt binaries for VTFLib, VTFEdit and VTFCmd. Download this if
+ you just want to develop with VTFLib (or want access to all the binaries).
+
+
VTFLib also uses nvDXT,
+ and VTFEdit and VTFCmd also use DevIL 1.7.8. In
+ order to compile, you will need to download those libraries and add their paths to Visual Studio.

I used VTFLib to make a .vtf importere for Fragmotion, you can grap it here for
+ now.

VTFEdit is written in Visual Studio .NET 2003 (.NET v1.1), not Visual Studio .NET
+ 2005 (.NET v2.0). The two versions have a completly different syntax for C++ code and are not
+ compatible. You can compile VTFEdit in Visual Studio .NET 2005, however, if you change the
+ Common Language Runtime Support (general options) to /clr:oldSyntax.
+
+ I'll likely convert the project to 2005 in the future, but it is too much of a pain and I have too many
+ other projects to do so at the moment.

Hello! Orangebox introduced version 7.4 of VTF, it says in the notes its bitwise
+ compatible with 7.3, however vtflib checks the version and refuses to work with 7.4.

I wrote the linked article so I'm aware of this. I have updated versions of my tools
+ that support v7.4, but I lost the source code for the PS VTF Plug-In (I'll have to rewrite part of it)
+ which is why nothing has been released as of yet.

I have a question for you Nem. I posted in the forum as well and just to be double
+ sure I thought I should post here too.
+
+ Anyways I am designing a Scripter for CS:Source, and I was wondering if you could point me into the
+ right direction or at least provide some kind of code that will teach me how to use your library in a C#
+ project. If it helps these are the things that I would like to do.
+
+ A. Allow the user to view file info
+ - File Size
+ - Flags(Like the ones in your program: VTFEdit
+ - Dimensions(Width x Height)
+ - Version
+ - File Format
+ - Frames
+
+ B. Allow the user to pre-view a selected vtf/spray file in a picturebox.
+
+ Again any and all help is greatly appreciated I do know about "Dllimport" with C# but I have yet to work
+ with it. So if you could either respond here or at the forums I would greatly appreciate it.
+
+ - Poab

Hmm, this is interesting. My build on VC2010 is breaking...

+ (?_Grow@?$basic_string@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@V?$allocator@D@2@@std@@IAE_NI_N@Z)
Guessing
+ that it was because dxtlib was built last for VC2010, I decided to try to dig up some source codes to
+ build a lib for VC2010, but all I found was code in tools/src, but it seemed to build the library I
+ needed (unless I'm wrong, which I could be). But it yielded this error:
Error 1 error LNK2019:
+ unresolved external symbol "enum NV_ERROR_CODE __cdecl nvDDS::nvDXTcompress(unsigned char const
+ *,unsigned int,unsigned int,unsigned int,enum nvPixelOrder,class nvCompressionOptions *,enum

+ C:\Users\Kevin\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Resources\vtflib130\sln\vs8\VTFLib\VTFFile.obj
+
+ I am wondering if this is because DDS_Utilities is now version 8.31.1127.1645? Something is getting
+ skewed. Anyway, I don't expect you to know the answer for fix anything, just thinking out loud
+ mostly.
+
+ I guess I can try it out on VS2008 tomorrow. But I was just wondering about this since this is my first
+ go with dealing with vtflib's source. Since I don't really need the DDS stuff I might just cut out all
+ of the dxtlib stuff.
+
+ By the by, long time lurker big time fan of your tools Nem! Thanks for making them!

The library is built using Visual Studio 2005 because the dependent nvDXTLib only
+ provides static libraries built for 2003 and 2005. There is a newer version of nvDXTLib, but I don't use
+ it because they removed features that I was using and completely changed the API.
nvDXTLib is
+ only necessary for creating .vtf images. If you just want to be able to read .vtf images, you can
+ rebuild the library with USE_NVDXT=0 defined.
Another option is to dynamically import the C
+ version of the API.
If you don't have nxDXTLib installed you will have to
download
+ it and update your VC++ Directories to point to it.

Yeah, I did download/install it

+ page you link to only has build 8.31.1127.1645 available for download). I wish they had some sort of

That said, I _do_ only need the library for reading .vtf files, so maybe
+ I will just build it without NVDXT. Thanks for the tip! That will probably save more time than
+ dynamically importing the C version of the API.
FYI, just an update.
+ The Download link points to:
+
+ http://developer.download.nvidia.com/tools/texturetools/DDS_Utilities_8.31.1127.1645.exe
+
+ But if you just change the filename to the build mentioned in your comments in VTFFile.cpp
+ (8.31.0225.1745), it's still on the server for download. Here's the URL:
+
+ http://developer.download.nvidia.com/tools/texturetools/DDS_Utilities_8.31.0225.1745.exe
+
+ Might be helpful.

Sorry for the confusion kabojnk, that comment is out of date (I'll remember to update

Nem, can you upload your version of nvDTX?
