This program can convert BMP, JPG, GIF, ICO, WMF and EMF images into TEX textures compatibles with Final Fantasy 7 (PC version). It can also save the loaded images as BMPs. The textures keep the same color depth they originally had. This tool is heavily untested, use it at your own risk.
1-Open an image by using the "Open image" button 2-Save the image as a tex (or bmp) file using the "Save texture" button
- OR - 1-Use the "Mass convert" button to convert a batch of image to or from a TEX file. The name of the resulting files will be the same but with the extension changed accordingly.
-Color 0 as transparent: When this is checked the completly black pixels of the image will be interpreted as transparent.
-The "color 0 as transparent" flag seems to have no effect on the original Final Fantasy VII engine for 24 bits images. It works fine with Aali's graphics engine, though.
-To Mirex and Aali for their work on decoding the TEX file specification.
