I wondered what the change to TexturePacker was - saves me asking, thanks.

Note - it's only enabled if you pack with -dupecheck option, which the addons bridge should be doing now.

Cheers,
Jonathan

Guys,

what to use in order to create XBT on Mac? Where is it?

you need to use TexturePacker. it's included in the xbmc source-code.

afaik there are no precompiled binaries for either mac or linux, meaning you will have to compile it yourself (which is not a bad thing to get into anyway).

Thanks, Ronie

I know it could be useful but, ATM, it's like taking a mosquito with a hammer Smile

Any kind soul willing to compile this little thingy for Mac?

I guess it doesn't change that often, so it will be useful for a while.

All right I will try to compile it for Mac OS X myself.

Will someone be so kind to explain how - what to get and what to do?

Ronie thanks, but there's not a word about TexturePacker there.

What did you do to make it run on Linux (I expect it would be similar on Mac)?

on linux you need to compile xbmc, once it's finished you'll find TexturePacker in the tools directory.

I give up. I'm not even able to prepare environment.

This is not for ordinary people. It is developer friendly skinning.
