Half-Life: 2 - Texture Tool
What is it?
The Half-Life: 2 - Texture Tool, or HL2Tex is a tool I created to assist people in creating graphics for the Source engine, developed by --Daedalus 07:58, 9 Jan 2007 (PST)
It simplifies the transformation of TARGA images to VTF files, creates the .TXT configuration file for VTEX, and creates the .VMT file that Hammer uses.
It has a number of options availible in the dialogs.
How do I use it?
- Start the application
- Navigate to your
materialsrcfolder - Select the file you wish to convert to VTF (only .tga files are displayed)
- Set your options in the bottom two dialogs
- Click Run VTEX. This also creates the .txt setting file (if desired) and the .vmt file (if desired)
Download
There are two version availible.
Visual Basic .Net Version
This is the 'recommended version to download. It's bigger, however it's written in .Net which a lot of people have these days, and is easier to distribute.
The first download contains an installer to automatically install all required files.
The second download is just the files themselves.
- Download HL2Tex_Installer.zip - Recommended version (790KB)
- Download HL2Tex.NET.zip (162KB)
Visual Basic 6.0 Version
This version is a great deal smaller, however Visual Basic 6.0 is required (and I cannot make a setup program for it.)
Sourcecode
I didn't distribute the sourcecode to this application, because it's not almost completely uncommented and I didn't know if anyone wanted the source code anyway.
Can I get the sourcecode?
Sure, it's up on one of my SourceForge projects.
Note that the VB6 version is much easier to read, and there is only enough changes to get it to run in .Net otherwise.
The .Net version is provided for compilation purposes.
- Download the source code - for both VB6 and .Net version
Sourcecode Licence
Released under the GNU Public License.
You may not take this code, edited or not, and simply call it your own.
