GIMP VTF plug-in 1.1 file - Source

For the very latest version and source code, visit Code.google.com.

1.1

• Upgraded to VTFLib 1.3.2 for VTF 7.5 support
• Each open image now has its own save settings
• Save settings are now filled in when loading a VTF
• Flags not covered by the UI are now preserved when saving an opened file
• Added a simplified format selection (do you want compression, do you want alpha)
• Added options to save with LOD disabled, Clamping and/or the Bump/SSBump flags
• Added a VTF version option when saving
• Added LOD Control setting (human-configurable!)
• Added explanatory tooltips
• Added localisation support (no actual translations, but creating them is now possible)
• Fixed errors when saving an image after its designated alpha layer has been removed
• Fixed error when alpha layer doesn't fit the image
• Graceful out-of-memory handling

A relatively simple save options screen is used; to access VTF's more esoteric features make your textures with VTFEdit.

There is one GIMP-specific feature however: the ability to specify a layer to use as the VTF's alpha channel. This bypasses most problems with GIMP's readiness to destroy the RGB data of fully-transparent pixels.

This program uses VTFLib, by Nem and Wunderboy.
