Usage: '''{{font color|{{no vtf|col}}|no_vtf}} {{font color|lightgray|[OPTIONS] [--] PATH...}}'''<br> | |||
Convert Valve Texture Format files into standard image files.<br> | |||
PATH can be either a file or a directory (in which case it is recursively | |||
searched for .vtf files; symbolic links are not followed). Multiple paths | |||
may be provided.<br> | |||
As the output path, it is possible to specify either a file or a directory.<br> | |||
Specifying the output file is useful mostly for single-file conversions, | |||
with filters to ensure the output file will be written only once.<br> | |||
If the output directory is not specified, images are output into the source | |||
directories (in-place conversion). Otherwise, the directory tree for any | |||
found files will be reconstructed in the chosen directory.<br> | |||
Output LDR/HDR format is selected by its common file name extension. It is | |||
recommended selecting one of the specifically supported image formats (PNG, | |||
APNG, TGA, TIFF, EXR). Other image formats have not been validated to work, | |||
but can still be selected. A secondary format specifically used to output | |||
animated image files can be selected after '|' (see default LDR format as an | |||
example). The "skip" format can be used to skip the R/W step entirely.<br> | |||
For the specifically supported image formats, compression is configurable | |||
when saving the image. Lossless compression is enabled by default. Lossy | |||
compression is not used.<br> | |||
The BGRA8888 format can store both LDR and compressed HDR images. The | |||
specific type is either auto-detected by looking at the input file name | |||
(roughly, if it contains "hdr" near the end), or can be set manually.<br> | |||
It is possible to filter images to convert by min/max resolution (width & | |||
height), and by frames/faces/slices. The former supports exact or closest | |||
match. The latter supports selection by single index or via Python slicing: | |||
https://python-reference.readthedocs.io/en/latest/docs/brackets/slicing.html | |||
It is also possible to specify multiple indices/slices separated by commas.<br> | |||
Face index mapping: right (0), left, back, front, up, down, sphere map (6).<br> | |||
After applying filters, only the highest-resolution mipmap is converted by | |||
default. Alternatively, all mipmaps of the high-resolution image can be | |||
converted.<br> | |||
Animated textures are converted into an animated multi-frame image file by | |||
default. Alternatively, they can also be converted into single-frame images | |||
when animation is disabled.<br> | |||
The RGB/L and A channels are packed into one file by default. When output | |||
separately, resulting file names will be suffixed with "_rgb", "_l", or | |||
"_a".<br> | |||
By default, image files are only written if they do not exist already. | |||
Alternatively, they can be overwritten, or writing can be disabled entirely.<br> | |||
Images can also be read back to verify they have been written properly. | |||
Readback will error if would-be-written data does not match what is in the | |||
file.<br> | |||
Workers are spawned for each logical core to run the conversion in parallel. | |||
The number of workers can be overridden. If set to 1, conversion is | |||
sequential. Sequential conversion enables more verbose errors to be printed.<br> | |||
Exit status: Zero if all went successfully, non-zero if there was an error. | |||
Upon a recoverable error, conversion will proceed with the next file.<br> | |||

no_vtf is an open source alternative to VTF2TGA. Unlike its first-party counterpart, it also supports converting VTFs to PNG, TIFF, and EXR, and can also decompress compressed HDR skybox textures.
