It would be nice to have support for .xtf (.vtf equivalent used in the Original Xbox port of HL2) with VTFLib.

I'm providing some info of .xtf:

Discussion on the format: https://forum.xentax.com/viewtopic.php?t=2101

Some header files from ancient Source SDK code, that include .xtf file header information and various other info on .xtf (check _XBOX defines, and also XTF lines):

vtf.h: https://pastebin.com/4mtE8zdj
imageformat.h: https://pastebin.com/VHjfxc3f
swizzler.h: https://pastebin.com/Km8Dc4fj

Example .xtf file: https://anonfiles.com/NfG7Ie5cpd/alyx_sheet_xtf

Currently I am able to to convert .xtf to .dds using gssmt (linked in the xentax forum, it's the last post), and then I am able to convert .dds to .xtf by hex editing the .dds, replacing the first bytes from an original .xtf file. This obviously has issues, as there's no room for any changes (like resolution and such)

The memory leak in question is the generation of new data for the resizing of the image data, but instead of getting rid of the old data, it sets a new memory address without clearing the old one first. This is also UB as the image data is not VTFLib's to mutate, it should be copied and disposed of at the end.

Hi,
I downloaded this and now I have a bunch of files. How can I open .vmt files?

nvDXT is a legacy library compiled with an older version of Visual Studio. Due to "breaking changes" introduced in Visual Studio 2015 there are a large number of errors that occur when trying to link it.

These needs to be fixed or, more practically, the legacy nvDXT library needs to be replaced.

The Visual Studio Solution in VTFLIb 1.3.2 is out of date for current editions of Visual Studio.

A new version needs to be created with the relevant settings.

The DDS file format supports all of the same image formats as VTF (plus more), so there should be an option when importing a DDS file to retain source format or something along those lines (as long as the source DDS uses a compatible format and is a power of 2). Such an option would copy the image data and any mipmaps over to a VTF file (and create thumbnails, info resources, etc. if the user requests), while avoiding introducing green tint to DXTn or BGR565 textures and other lossy conversion issues.

Additionally, there could be an option to export as DDS, using the same image format as the source VTF.

I'm pretty sure this would be possible; while I am not familiar with the nitty gritty, I'd imagine that the image data itself can just be copied over, since both file formats encode the image using little endian with the same image formats designed for the GPU.

For some reason, The app won't open for me I tried to re-install it twice and it still won't launch.

Its not my first time using it but after my last format for the PC I'm trying to open it and it won't launch.
Please help.

If the result is successful, then the allocated memory is not cleared. This adds deallocate memory if the result is successful.

I try to open the program and it does not open, I use x86 architecture and I installed what is necessary for x86 and it still does not open

i use exagear emulator :v

found your github after a while and just wanted to ask

VTFEdit and VTFCmd expect an old version of DevIL which is no longer available. Newer versions have vastly changed codewise and don't work as a direct drop-in replacement.

VTFEdit and VTFCmd need to be updated to either use a newer version of DevIL or switch to a different image input/output library.

This compression is better than dxt1 or 5.
But there is no options, but source engine supports it

Don't know if it's the right place to ask but is there anywhere i can grab the VTFCmd.exe binary file?
Thanks
