TEXTURES editing

[ler]

Are there any existing tools that can edit the TEXTURES lump as something besides text? I'm looking for a visual editor, essentially.

Also, silly clarification: since regular patch-made textures work on floors, any crazy rotated patches and such textures should work on floors as well, right? I don't see why they wouldn't, but I'd rather ask.

Finally, is there any way to convert a TEXTUREx lump into the TEXTURES format?

Sorry, no. Someone needs to write one. But you can edit a dummy TEXTUREx in XWE and copy the coordinates down in TEXTURES, I do this a lot.

Absolutely!

Manually. Keep in mind that you need not define single-patch textures. Just put them in a textures folder (for PK3) or between TX_ markers (for a WAD).

TEXTURES editing is planned for SLADE3. Planned. It's not in at the moment.

...So until then, refer to my post.

Ugh. I hope this changes quick, I'm not really a fan of just manually doing junk like that. Plus, you can't visually do anything of the scaling or rotating.

Lest it vanish unnoticed, looky here.

Uh, I don't think that's what he wants, NS.

[NeuralStunner]

Just thought I'd throw that out there. Technically UDMF can do texture scaling as needed.

Er, not PATCH scaling. Which is what we're talking about. And patch rotation, too.

[NeuralStunner]

Patches can't be scaled AFAIK.

[Ceeb]

Patches can't be scaled. Only the final result. As for rotation, your constricted to 90 degree rotations, which makes stuff simpler.

If you really need a visual aid make rotated/flipped patches as needed and edit them all together in a dummy TEXTUREx lump, then copy the code down into TEXTURES. It's not that difficult, son.

Don't be condescending, it's a valid request. Besides, manually copying and pasting values from a different editor is way too ghetto for my tastes, so I'd prefer another solution.

Also I forgot that patches couldn't scaled .

I'm not being condescending. Also, "too ghetto"? Bawwwww. There's no visual editors for TEXTURES yet. I gave you a perfectly viable solution besides blindly stumbling through it. If you don't like suggestions, don't ask for help.

Who said I wasn't going to use it? I just said it sucks. Sheesh.

You're not going to get much help if you're going to be an asshole.
