Atlas2 Jpg Texture generation
by Bobby Leighton · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 07/15/2007 (3:38 pm) · 4 replies
I have had no problem getting geometry converted from a heightmap to a .ATLAS file, however getting a large Jpeg is a pain. I searched the forums and i see the fix in the post that Ben G. made, but a cant figure out where it goes. If Ben is listening, or anyone else that knows this problem can you let me know what code goes on which line. I dont mind blended terrain, but I feel i can get better texture resolution without having to add a detail texture. And having this fixed before the next release would be awesome, because I have no idea when the next one is;)
Thank you in advance for any help that you all could lend:)

I cant get the function that makes a large jpg into an atlas file, and i read in a post about a fix, but i cant seem to figure out where it goes, and since the post was so old i didn't think anyone was watching it anymore and i really needed to find out where to put the listed code so i can get it working:)

The long answer is:
In the thread - http://www.garagegames.com/mg/forums/result.thread.php?qt=61367
The code that starts with "// Copy from the JPEG working space....... is in the file atlas\editor\atlasImportLargeImage.cpp about line 283.
The code that starts with "AtlasTexChunk *AtlasTexChunk::generateCopy(S32 reformat)" is in the file atlas\editor\atlasImportTiles.cpp about line 210.
And the code that starts with "dSprintf(buff, 512, tileMask, imgX, imgY);" is in the file atlas\editor\atlasImportTiles.cpp about line 80.
The short answer is that if you hit Ctlr-Shift-F inside Visual Studio, it allows you to search for a string in all the files in the currently loaded solution. Just search for each of these strings and you will be returned links to the source files containing those strings.
