this is what i enter in notepad:

testtrack.w

( texmap h:0,0:256X256=a:0,0:64X64 )

and saved do i have to have a .bat thing too?! b/c i did in notepad again:

rvtexmap texmap.txt and saved it rvmap.bat (like an example shown in the rvglue tutorial)

did i do that right?!

Question ?
Are you using the RVtexmap.exe from the RV-Minis-5 collection of tools, or are you using RVGlue to remap your textures ?

Both are similar in command file setup, but not the same.

When you use RVtexmap, your command line should read:

rv-texmap.exe wall.prm h:0,0:256x256=a:0,0:64x64.

In this case I am remapping a .prm called "wall". Its texture mapping has been changed from using the entire "h" bitmap to the upper left quarter of the "a" bitmap. :D

Your cygwin library does'nt match. Its a different version :rolleyes:.
I think you can found the correct one searching in the Ali's tools files, like RVGlue (http://www.perror.de/rv)

What OS are you using ?
Is the dll in the same folder as the other files ?
How are you implementing the command line statement ?

i have the rvtexmap.exe in the track folder

rvtexmap.exe command.txt

and in another file--

rvtexmap pine3.prm h:0,0:256x256=a:0,0:64x64

the .dll thing is in ah systems folder, maybe? and i put rvtexmap.exe in a command folder i created also

and using windows xp

I don't use XP myself, but from what I understand, you need to run/execute RVtexmap in a dos shell or win98 compatible enviroment.
I personally have all the files, rvtexmap, cygwin.dll, the prm file and a batch file to execute the process in the same folder, this way I don't have to rely on windows finding the correct files in different folders.

Posted: 08 Jan 2007, 17:29
jaseaka
okay, i put everything in same folder and ran in win. 98 still not working. so guess i'm done before i started

No this isn't a OS problem, or drivers...
This isn't the same cygwin1.dll used.
The old cygwin1.dll (used in rvtexmap) maybe contain some libraries and maybe the old one doesn't have the same ones.
I'll try to look over that.
You searched in perror's website, isn't?

The program is working for me now :P
I'm using the dll library from RVTMod7.

Can you send us more info? ;)

Maybe you need to read the readme files and search help here :rolleyes:

I'll do a quote of the readme:
--- 3 --- Additional info for rvtexmap.exe





rvtexmap.exe expects something it calls "texture spec".

A remapping spec is of the form

&nbsp; &nbsp; <src>=<dst>[rot]

where everything that uses parts of the texture <src> is remapped to <dst>.

Both <src> and <dst> look like

&nbsp; &nbsp; <sheet> : <top-left> : <size>

Where
&nbsp; <sheet> is a letter between 'a' and 'j',
&nbsp; <top-left> is a pixel-position for the top-left corner ( <number> , <number> ), and
&nbsp; <size> is the size of the texture ( <number> x <number> )
&nbsp; [rot] (optional) denotes a texture rotated ccw 90 degrees. Only <dst> can be rotated.


Example:

&nbsp; a:0,0:128x128=b:192,0:64x64

remaps the 128 by 128 pixel sized texture in the top left corner of "a.bmp" to
the 64 by 64 pixel sized texture in the top right corner of "b.bmp".


You can use asterisks ('*') instead of <sheet>, <top-left> and <size>, in which case
defaults will be used:


'*' in...&nbsp; <src>-texture&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <dst>-texture

<sheet>&nbsp; &nbsp; Remap from every sheet&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Don't alter sheet
<top-left> 0,0&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; same position as in from-texture
<size>&nbsp; &nbsp; to the image's lower-right corner&nbsp; same size as in from-texture





Examples:
&nbsp;
&nbsp; *:*:*=*:*:128x128

&nbsp; makes every texture use only the top-left quarter the bitmaps.


&nbsp; a:*:*=b:*:*

&nbsp; remaps a.bmp to b.bmp


&nbsp; a:0,0:128x128=b:192,0:64x64rot

&nbsp; remaps the 128 by 128 pixel sized texture in the top left corner of "a.bmp" to
&nbsp; the 64 by 64 pixel sized texture in the top right corner of "b.bmp". The image
&nbsp; in "b.bmp" is expected to be rotated left.
Hope this helps you.

there's no error let's say i wanted to do rst's pine tree is originally on h sheet and i want to put it on sheet a i did --

pine3.prm h:0,0:256x256=a:0,0:256x256 then saved it command.txt

then this rvtexmap command.txt and saved it rtm.bat

then double-click then went in revolt- makeitgood and insert the tree and it still looked the same

Posted: 12 Jan 2007, 19:37
Manmountain
I would have done it like this :

rvtexmap.exe pine3.prm h:0,0:256x256=a:0,0:256x256

Saved this command statement to bitmap-ex.bat

Then executed this batch file.

I would only create a command.txt file if I were using RVGlue.

Just a quick question, you are sure that the specified original bitmap and co-ordinates are correct ? otherwise nothing will happen.
If you are using the same bitmap area then try and use RV-remap instead.

While checking something with another tool I encounter a sort of error, it was actually a nil action.
The problem was the files were Read Only, maybe this could be your problem ? just a thought.

Posted: 16 Jan 2007, 16:05
jaseaka
well i typed what you showed in last post, then a lot of writting came up very quickly don't know what it said, but the tree is still the same colors. the bitmap area doesn't have to be the same as the origanl size right?!

great, now it's time to assist me again!!!!!!! yippie, okay i did the track zone , the pos things and the ai nodes, i checked over and over and it looks right, but there's still an X sign at one part of track. if any wants to look at it for me here's my email jaseaka2006@wmconnect.com :D

rvtexmap help again! ok. this time i know im using rvtexmap from the minis tools. i dled BurnRubr's 'old cabin' model from here: http://rva.sportplanet.gamespy.com/tuts ... s/prm.html

and i used rvtexmap to changed the texture from sheet I to sheet C.

rvtexmap cabin.prm i:*:*=c:*:*

and now in game the cabin textures are i and c sheet mixed together! i even exited and re-enter revolt and the texture is still mixed...

I actually use another tool (by Chaos) which is rv-remap,
syntax:

Code: Select all

 RV-REMAP <filename> &nbsp;1=3

Hiya, Jaseaka - I have not used rvtexmap in a while but I had good success using it. I did not bother to look at the texture for the cabin, but if it is the entire 256 x 256 bitmap, then your command line needs to read exactly as follows:

rvtexmap.exe cabin.prm i:0,0:256x256=c:0,0:256x256

If the texture for the cabin, or any other prm for that matter, is only a partial bitmap, you need to identify the upper left hand corner of the texture (0,0 for example) and the size of the texture (say 128 x 128 for example). (Both the size of the current texture and the size you want to change it to, because you can make it a smaller size). Please let me know if you still are having trouble because the above command line should work out great for you. Good luck!!! PatS

yups. i did that also. didnt work :(

Hiya, Jaseaka. Have you ever gotten rvtexmap to work successfully? I have no doubt that the command line I gave you will work perfectly. I have downloaded the old cabin with the enclosed bitmap "I". Please e-mail me the btmap "C" that you wish to change to. My addy is supatddr@hotmail.com. I will see if I can switch textures for you. PatS :)

I think there may be a problem with how the cabin.prm was made.
It seems parts of the .prm can be remapped, but other parts can not.
I tried to remap it with rvGlue (switch i.bmp to another) and found this
problem, the roof will remap and parts of the front, but the back and some
of the sides will not remap correctly. Very strange.

phew, thank god it didnt work for someone else also :)

Use RV-Remap by Chaos
Command is RV-Remap Cabin.prm 8=2

This will change reference from I to C.

Yea, i prefer rv-remap as well, works as it should :)

Posted: 08 Nov 2008, 01:35

Hiya, Jaseaka. I stand corrected; after trying to change the textures on the cabin with rvtexmap, I tend to agree with Hil. Some of the prm will remap and other areas will not. Dunno why. On a sidenote, a little program that any potential editor needs to have is Texture Mesh Editor for Revolt. This utility shows the exact mapping position on the .prm when you open it with your paint program. I think you can download it on ManMountain's site, among others. PatS
