Tool: ds texture converter

ds texture converter & map converter

Actually this isn't a tool but a patch for nsbmd. Maybe someone with a windows-machine can compile this because I don't have one.

Open the file "texture.cpp" and look for the line

glBindTexture( GL_TEXTURE_2D, i+1 );

Before this line insert:

	{
			char name[22];
			strcpy(name,mat->texname);
			strcat(name,".ppm");
			FILE *f=fopen(name,"w");
			printf("%d\n",f);
			fprintf(f,"P6\n%d\n%d\n255\n",mat->width, mat->height);
	
			int ax,ay;
			for(ay=0;ay<mat->height;ay++)
				for(ax=0;ax<mat->width;ax++)
					fwrite(image+(ax+ay*mat->width),3,1,f);
			fclose(f);
		}

After you compile nsbmd it will dump every texture in the directory it was started in. If you can't open the textures (PPM-Format) try a software like GIMP.

I attached the result of nsbmd and the 3rd entry of land_data.

Here is another useful snippet that "converts" land_data files to bmd format. You need Python to run this.

#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
for a in sys.argv[1:]:
	b=open(a,"r").read()
	c=b.find("BMD0")
	d=256*(256*(256*ord(b[c+11])+ord(b[c+10]))+ord(b[c+9]))+ord(b[c+8])
	open(a,"w").write(b[c:c+d])
