Image2TGA under Win7 trawling issues

[frogpipe]

#1 I had to manually "run as admin" so as to setup the "open with" macros in TS12's Content Manager.

#2 After that I tried using the "open with" to trawl for, and convert, textures to TGAs and TEXTURE.TXT files. When I did I found it only converted *some* of them, not all.

I tried setting image2tga to run as administrator using the properties dialog box. No change. Still only converts some of them.

I tried checking the trawl log, and it's empty.

Which version of Images2TGA are you running?

I am having similar problems. I have ver 1.25. July 2013. It will trawl though the selected file but only a few of the image files are adjusted to remove the single colour warning.

I regressed to version 1.22.
Three problems occur where you are trying to get rid of uniform color defects:

If the file is compressed you have to uncompress it.
If it is a 1x1 pixel it will not look at it. This is a uniform color by definition. Has to be 2x2 pixels or larger for Images2TGA to process it.
In some versions a file smaller than 8x8 was ignored.

There are only one or two assets that cannot be fixed with Ver 1.22.

Indeed - version 1.22 is still available on my tutorial site (in fact most versions back to 1.18 are still available).

A note though. If you are trying to use Images2TGA on payware DLC content in TS12 SP1, it will fail.

That is because DLC assets are locked.

 

[shaneturner12]

Indeed. Some people do still try and convert their textures though.

The latest one, which ever it is.

It's not DLC content.

I *can* convert the textures to tga/texture.txt *if* I open for edit in explorer and then manually open each texture and select "save as".

I prefer to update Jointed Rail's bogey's so that they keep their sounds to themselves and don't infect everything else on the route. (add a "bogey" tag to the "default" container within the "tracksound" container in the config file)
