What's the okayest way of compiling a bunch of images into a new gfx.wad?

#27710 posted by Baker on 2016/06/22 22:01:08

Fimg http://www.insideqc.com/frikbot/fimg/

This Tool Is Weird

#27711 posted by dwere on 2016/06/22 23:22:38

Is there any way to import multiple images at once? It seems that the only somewhat sane way to do anything is to take an existing gfx.wad and replace things one by one.

#27712 posted by Baker on 2016/06/22 23:43:42

You might be able to use TexMex to do most of the work to make a gfx.wad

And then use Fimg for the finishing touches and stuff that can't be done with TexMex (conchars comes to mind, probably other little things).

Okay, Thanks

Hypothesising Negative Effects Of Modular Mesh Based Level Design

Not sure I agree with all of it, but interesting little rant.

Hmm

That's actually a one year old video, was probably posted here already since then, still interesting these days anyways.

The guy obviously has a point, but the sheer torrent of smug that is excreted from his zero-punctuation run-on-sentence mumbling speech pattern, just makes me want to give him a slap.

Apparently, it doesn't like true color PNG pics. Indexed work fine.

#27720 posted by Spike on 2016/06/24 01:47:08

the image clearly wasn't brown enough...
hurrah for palettes.

Well

My condolences to all our British comrades.

You've heard of Pakscape, right?

#27725 posted by dwere on 2016/06/24 13:38:52

I've heard of PakExplorer.

I need that thing for wads.

Meh?

#27726 posted by ijed on 2016/06/24 16:07:19

It does nothing with wads, apart from extract them from paks.

For wads you need TexMex.

#27727 posted by dwere on 2016/06/24 17:16:04

By "that thing" I meant QPakman.

And TexMex is for texture wads. While it has the ability to work with picture formats other than wall textures, the implementation is incomplete at best.

Nuts

The next few months/years will be pretty interesting.

Look for a program called wally.

I don't think it can handle true colour images, only the palleted ones, but it has some handy features.

Episode 5!?!

Someone should probably make a news thread about this - https://twitter.com/machinegames/status/746363189768650752

Happy 20th to Quake @idsoftware! As a gift to the fans, we created a new episode of the game
