+ VTFLib - NemPosted: Apr 18th, 2005 - 10:27:01 pm
+
+
+ About:
+
+
+ VTFLib is a LGPL open source programming library, written by Neil Jedrzejewski + and I. VTFLib provides a C and C++ API that, with a few simple functions, can open and save .vtf and + .vmt files, providing access to all known features. The library functions independent of Steam, + allowing third party applications to use the library without Steam present or runningi on the target + system.
+ +VTFLib includes two GPL example applications, VTFCmd and VTFEdit. VTFCmd is a C command line frontend + for VTFLib that can create .vtf and .vmt files from various source formats. It is similar in + functionality to Valve's vtex Source SDK utility, but offers a lot more control. VTFEdit is a C++ .NET + graphical frontend for VTFLib with viewing and creation capabilities. Both VTFCmd and VTFEdit support + several source image formats, including, but not limited to .bmp, .dds, .gif, .jpg, .png and .tga.

+ Sounds good. 
Some features we are working on for the next version (if you have any requests let + me know):
VTFLib:
- .vmt C creation routines.
VTFCmd:
- Basic .vmt creation + (similar to vtex).
VTFEdit:
- Toolbar.
- Paste as new.
- Zooming.
- Alpha + mask.
- Integrated file system browser.
You can find a preview here. +

+ I'll be changing the distribution for the next release, separating the code from the
+ binaries and also providing an archive or installer for the binaries (similar to all my other binary
+ distributions).

+
+ hllib.dll is missing from the installer, the version distributed with GCFScape is too
+ old, and I haven't a clue what to do with the standalone download.

+ Thnx, it has been fixed.

+
+ Nem would it be posible for vtfedit to produce a vmt, to the default save location,
+ or is this to complex, with open varibales, and many texture styles?
+
+ PS, VERY GOOD WORK on the wad convertor!

+
+ Yes, this is the planned focus for the next release, probably in the form of an
+ export .vmt and auto export .vmt methodology.
+
+ It would be helpful if someone could provide templates for the various typical .vmt files (normal + texture, bump mapped texture, HUD texture, sprite, etc).
+
+ Glad you like the .wad converter.

+
+ there are other tools around, that support the difering formats, if you contact the
+ maker of vtex gui, you should come into good hands with them, its off my mind who made it, but i think
+ 95% that its a hl2world forum topic for cs textures, that got hijackd

+ When I try to preview any normal map VTFs I make with VTFLib through the VTF Shell
+ Extensions, the bottom third of the image is pure black. It works ingame, but seeing as that only
+ happens for files I make with VTFLib I thought you might like to know. The program is evidently doing
+ something non-standard.

+

+
+
+ The VTF shell extensions are Jed's right? You might want to check that the bug isn't
+ his. Is the format RGBA8888? I think he had a problem with that (try BGR888 or BGRA8888).

+
+
+ Odd indeed. I don't know why this would happen, it is a standard system control. All
+ I have to do is enable scrollbars and the system should take care of the rest.

+
+ I've already added VMT support.
If you enable Auto Create VMT File from + the options menu, it will create a VMT with a $basetexture and a default shader whenever you save a VTF + file. If you select Create VMT File from the Tools menu, you can specify all of the above + options and create your VTF files. In order for the paths to be correct, your VTF file must be in a + materials folder.
