TXDFucker 0.6b build #379

TXDFucker - a simple program for viewing and editing the texture cache of mobile versions of GTA 3, GTA Vice City, and GTA San Andreas. Its name comes from the lost TXD format on these devices, which many modders have to use due to the lack of this unnecessary format.

Main features

I won't explain the standard set of actions "Create-Open-Import-Rename-Delete". Let's focus on more specific actions:

- Alias / Original

The cache supports the creation of texture aliases, i.e., something like a shortcut. If you need to get a copy of a texture already in the archive but with a different name - create an alias. Accordingly, the texture for which an alias is created is called the original. In the cache parameters, Original and Alias were referred to as 'Affiliate' and 'Sibling', but I believe my version will be clearer to users.

- Details

The promised improved textures from Rockstar Games are made in the original GTA way: detailed surface textures are simply overlaid on the old textures from 2002. The detailed textures (or 'detail') are located in the gamemisc cache, so you can set an overlay texture for any of your textures using this option. To see the changes, you need to enable high effects in the game's graphics settings.

- Categories

Categories are convenient for viewing, but their function likely ends there. The names of textures in the cache are global, and the category in which a particular texture is located does not affect the game at all. However, several people on 4PDA wrote to me about this, which is why I decided to implement this simple feature.

- DFF Check

A simple feature, similar to the one in TXD Workshop and RW Analyze. For those who are not in the know - I will explain, here you can check if all textures from the model (DFF file) exist in TXD.

+ By the way, instead of DFF, you can load TXD (in PC format);

+ You can view the RenderWare Stream structure similar to RW Analyze;

- TXD Import

Import from TXD. At the time of writing this text, import is implemented through an intermediate format - GDI+ Bitmap, which means that all compressed textures will first be converted to uncompressed 32-bit raster, after which they will be recompressed and imported into the cache. That is, just like when exporting to PNG and subsequently importing, only faster.

*) For convenience, a preview of the current texture can be seen in the main program window;

*) When loading TXD, textures not found in the cache are marked with checkmarks;

*) If you click on the window header, you can save the current texture;

*) You can also view the RenderWare Stream structure similar to RW Analyze;

*) Textures will be imported into the current category or the category of the current texture;

- NIGHT

For users of NIGHT builds, console tracing output is available through the Help menu, BUT, in this case, the program's performance will become even slower (yes, noticeably slower).

Requirements:

- Windows XP SP2 and above (specifically, GDI+ support is required);

- Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package (2008 or higher);

For 200 builds, you may need:

- Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package 2012 x86;
