Texture Assembler

Texture Assembler is a tool that processes your image folders or resource scripts and builds optimized texture sheets with corresponding resource scripts from your sprites. The syntax is:

texasm.exe <res-file>|<wildcard> <output-wildcard> [<task>]

<res-file>

Resource script to process. To be able to locate the resources, texasm.exe must be run from the folder of the executable that uses the specified script.

<wildcard>

A wildcard to search image files for processing. Either <res-file> or <wildcard> should be specified, not both. All image formats supported by HGE can be handled.

<output-wildcard>

Wildcard to store the result to. For example, "opt_textures\TitleTex" will generate the following files:
  opt_textures\TitleTex1.png, opt_textures\TitleTex1.res
  opt_textures\TitleTex2.png, opt_textures\TitleTex2.res
  ...

<task>

Optional resource filter. If omitted, all resources found in the script/folder will be processed. The default resgroup assigned to folder resources is 0.

Examples:

texasm game.res tex 2
Process all sprites described in game.res (or scripts included in it) that have resgroup=2. Store the result into tex01.png, tex01.res, tex02.png, tex02.res etc.

texasm game.res out\tex 7+sprFlower/sprLeaf/sprTrunk
Process all sprites described in game.res (or scripts included in it) that have resgroup=7 and whose names start with sprFlower, sprLeaf or sprTrunk. Store the result into out\tex01.png, out\tex01.res, out\tex02.png, out\tex02.res etc.

texasm data\* tex
Process all image files found in the folder "data". Assign resgroup=0 to generated descriptions. Store the result into tex01.png, tex01.res, tex02.png, tex02.res etc.

texasm data\* tex 3-gui\menu\title
Process all image files found in the folder "data" whose names DON'T start with gui, menu or title. Assign resgroup=3 to generated descriptions. Store the result into tex01.png, tex01.res, tex02.png, tex02.res etc.

texasm data\* tex +mars/earth/mercury
Process all image files found in the folder "data" whose names start with gui, menu or title. Assign resgroup=0 to generated descriptions. Store the result into tex01.png, tex01.res, tex02.png, tex02.res etc.

texasm game.res tex -gui\\menu\\title
Process all sprites described in game.res (or scripts included in it)whose names DON'T start with gui, menu or title. Store the result into tex01.png, tex01.res, tex02.png, tex02.res etc.

Note: Currently only Sprite resources and only 32bit PNG output are supported.
