I wouldn't say the format is known. Laurie has figured out how to extract the dispmap, textures, and friction map and re-insert them, but doesn't know enough to create one from scratch. We asked Rainbow for info about the file format and they wouldn't help, even though they expect that Laurie will b...

I do appreciate what the people at this site do. We (Twisted DIRT) have always shared knowledge. We also don't tell 100% of what we figure out. There are times we want to do certain things and telling others about it would make it where we couldn't do it. Converting MXU tracks to MCM 2 is a good exa...

Laurie created a utility to do this and he has left it up to me to decide when I extract a dispmap or texture from a trn file. I have done it for several people when they have lost a dispmap and wanted to recreate the track (either to make it better or for a newer game). We can do it for all the TRN...

In MCM 2 they had an SLT(ext) and SLB(inary) files. I believe the DXG is an SLB with more capabilities.

After playing with it some more about 40 of the files that it wasn't converting were random. I slowed down the process and it would then consistently convert the same files and not convert 10 of them. I guess you must be using a temp file that's the same name or something like that, so depending on ...

Kam, How many non-dxt files to you have lying around with a dxt extension?

Mr. Mouse, I ran it on a directory of 601 DXT files and it successfully converted 552 of them. 49 files it did not create a DDS file for.

Thanks, I'll check it out tonight.

Thanks for making it command line capable. Of course there is always "one more thing". It has one problem running it from the command line. It displays a message box before it finishes. I ran it on 1200 files. On around 150 or so it started getting errors, because I had 150 instances running with 15...

You should make DXT2DDS work from the command line then it would be easy to use it from other programs, batch files, etc.

A batch file containing this command would do what Kam wants:

for %i in (*.dxt) do dxt2dds %i

That's all it was. It was in the plugins folder not the plugins\pak folder. I moved it and that fixed it.

Thanks,

I just installed and registered MultiEX this weekend. The MXvsATV plugin is the first one that I've installed. When I go to open an MXvsATV pak file the "Files of type" displays this: MXvsATVUnleashed(*.) So it doesn't list any files unless I enter a filename. When you go to create a pak file (File-...
