I was free this morning so I made a little update.. See first post.

I'm not a big fan of people constantly posting updates with just a few changes to an application.. But there was a nastly little bit of unmanaged code that caused a memory leak. So that's now fixed. A few other small tweaks are thrown in as well. The flicker you may have noticed with the palettes preview is now gone. Also, the map's encryptomatic signature is recalculated based on the changes made to the palettes.. So assuming it was correct to begin with, it should be correctly and instantly adjusted as changes are applied - quite useful for you single player modders. The regular old resign button is still available for the skeptics.

heh, something i just noticed...
...when you backup the lightmap settings, it saves them as a *.ULT (for UberLightmapTool). And then winamp recognizes it as an associated file type. Lol, pointless i know, just thought I'd post that.

Re: [App] UberLightmapTool
I have an idea that I think you should consider. You run this proram and you have a general idea of the colors that the map will be, but you really don't know until you run the game. I don't think it should be that hard.Aequitas wrote:I was free this morning so I made a little update.. See first post.

My idea is that when you open a map, the preview of that map comes up, and when you change the hue/saturation,etc it changes both the lightmaps and it changes the colors of the preview so you actually KNOW what it will look like....

Well if anyone wants the map previews, I took the time to export them from every map.

Re: [App] UberLightmapTool
Hmm, that would be much much much MUCH MUCH more work than it's worth. The lightmap coordinates, subtexture indices, along with color table indices are all stored in the structure bsp, and to get an accurate render of what the final product would look like would require a full-texture lightmapped render of the sbsp. Doesn't sound like much fun for Aequitas...Dyer13 wrote:I have an idea that I think you should consider.

Everything in this signature is false.

I think it would give people a general idea, better than a lot of little box's with a couple of stripes with different colors on them...Hmm, that would be much much much MUCH MUCH more work than it's worth.
