Thumbs Up  XBMCTex (XBMC Texture Compression Tool) for skins ported to all platforms Post: #1
Hi all,

Incase you missed it first time around, XBMCTex has been ported to all platforms (with the exception of xbox) now, so you don't need a win32 box (or the directx sdk) to build your XPR anymore.

Thanks to AlTheKiller in particular for the work unix-ising all the win32-isms.

Please post below if you have difficulty using it.

Cheers,
Jonathan

Heh - Nope, probably not enough memory to do it there without quite a few changes. Let's keep it at a no.

jmarshall this is great news.

Will this mean we can compile on OSX as well on the older PowerPC architecture or will it be Intel only

Not sure - there's quite probably intel-ism's in the code, but you are welcome to try building it.

Hello,
I've noticed a little bug when there is spaces in paths :
Exemple with CEOMR and XBMCTex rev 14120:
PHP Code:
XBMCTex -input "skin/CEOMR Media Center/media/textures.xpr/" -output textures.xpr
Unrecognised command line flag
Media
Unrecognised command line flag
Center/media/textures.xpr/
web/styles/CEOMR Media Center/images\SubMenuShutdowP8         64x16   (55.08waste)
web/styles/CEOMR Media Center/images\SubMenuDash.pnP8         64x16   (67.77waste)
web/styles/CEOMR Media Center/images\SubMenuConfiguP8         64x16   (42.38waste)
... 
then it compiles every texture in current directory.

You need a second set of escaped quotes for that to work due to how XBMCTex parses the command line (blame winapi). So... XBMCTex -input "\"skin/CEOMR Media Center/media/textures.xpr/\"" -output textures.xpr .

Man I feel so out of the loop.
It's been a while since I posted here. I would like to know where I can download XBMCTex because I cant seem to find a link anywhere. I need to compress a few themes up and now I am running ubuntu hardy ONLY (screw dual booting).

EDIT: I found it!

Also is there a way to extract contents of an XPR in linux yet?
