Imagetool batch file method

Featured Replies

Hi,After a huge reading on this Forum regarding DXTbmp and Imagetool, I came up with this...I want to have minimum texture sizes and good frame rates with AI traffic and I do not care about reflections so I saved the files in DXT1 format. OK, but in order to do that I am using Imagetool with a batch file and is extremely boring to copy the imagetool.exe and the .bat file all the time to the acfttexture folder and when it's done I then cut both files and paste them to the next texture folder and so on. It's a semi-automatic process so if anyone has a program that has a simple command as below would be helpful.xxxx.exe c:fs9aircraft -DXT1 -nomips -*.bmp /S the /S means it would convert all bmp files in subfolders too.Imagetool.exe does not support this feature :-(

<>Sure it does...did several folder wide batch imagetool conversions just last night.The syntax is "imagetool -dxt1 -nomips c:whateverwhatever*.bmp"the list of flags is found if you type "imagetool -h"good luck,Bob BernsteinEDIT...just reread your post...perhaps your focus is on conversion beyond a folder on into subfolders. Don't know about that...sorry if I misunderstood your question. Seems a simple matter to just alter the path in the main command line, could even make a single line batch file out of the commands.

Bob, I got just a problem with my procedure...Seems that the prop.bmp of the propeller-driven acft does not support DXT1 so I loose the Propeller in motion effect. Gotta leave that in DXT3 format. Still working on the batch file but I see that there's no way of doing a subfolder conversion...Gotta copy and paste the .exe files one by one...Pilot_76

why dont you just put imagetool.exe in c:windows folder?? then you can just type imagetool anywhere to run it. also in a batch file too.I'm using imagetool in this way in the command prompt.
