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

does this mean xbox aswell?

jmarshall · 2008-07-23, 11:33

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

jmarshall · 2008-07-23, 22:40

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\SubMenuShutdow: P8         64x16   (55.08% waste)
web/styles/CEOMR Media Center/images\SubMenuDash.pn: P8         64x16   (67.77% waste)
web/styles/CEOMR Media Center/images\SubMenuConfigu: P8         64x16   (42.38% waste)
... 

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 .

Thank you! It work munch better.

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?

s3ood · 2008-09-25, 23:51

can anyone tell me where to find this? I searched everywhere on sourceforge page .. I need it for OSX .. thanks

Presently you have to download the entire XBMC source and compile it yourself.

Jee-eSTeke · 2009-06-04, 23:37

I don't get it... In order to create a skin, you need XBMCTex.exe, but....this tool is nowhere available. Whose @ss do I have to kiss in order to get the link for downloading this prog?

Download it from my shared folder http://www.4shared.com/file/105718440/17...MCTex.html
Put it in the folder of images you have and click on it and it will create the textures.xpr for you Smile

jmarshall · 2009-06-04, 23:58

I'd prefer (and I suspect you'd prefer) if you didn't kiss my arse, but you can just grab it from SVN as well:

http://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/x...BMCTex.exe

Cheers,
Jonathan

Jee-eSTeke · 2009-06-05, 00:17

OK, I won't kiss any....
I'll just say "Thank you" Wink

Can anyone of you also tell me how to open existing xpr-files?
