I don't thing Paint Shop or Photo Shop can save pix. This tool can save pix from pair of bmp (fname.bmp and fname_m.bmp) which you need to create in external program (like this two) or from such bitmaps exported from pix.

QTZ

Thank you Toshiba-3 for information, this make thing clearer for me, however I need to test to see if this work as I think. I remember friend of mine edited tiffs and then nothing has changed in game...

QTZ

I have moved PixEdit help to new topic - for better access.
This isn't question about the tool directly, but why don't use pix? - as you say in this topic. Anyway my question is here.

QTZ

PixEdit 060 is Japanese C2 pix tool that can convert pix to bmp and bmp to pix including transparency mask. It's useful to convert PT2 pix files - as we can read here . Since there is no information what other buttons does I have translated original help files to English. pixedit060_english_help.zi...

QTZ

Here Coffey says: You can't use the PIX that PT2 generates as is. You need to use a Japanese program, yes Japanese, to convert the PIX to BMP. Then open BMP in your paint proggy and resave as TIFF and put THAT into your map's TIFFRGB folder. so my question is: Why can't use PIX files in game? Are o...

QTZ

OK, I hope this will be useful for someone. Yes, the map look better and better :smile: Edit: Sorry for maybe stupid question, but why you can't use pix files in game? Are only PT2 pix files are wrong, or in general? This tool can save pix files that author show working in game (transparency mask yo...

QTZ

...This is automatic translation... not corrected, except for html codes and other non language stuff, so language is strange, but can be understand especially when looking at screen-shots. As I say this describe how to use transparency mask. Coffey's manual skip this completely. This may be useful ...

QTZ

I have translated (using G. Translator) PixEdit help files to English. There is description how to use transparency mask.

Edit: File is moved here.

QTZ

Very nice test. Is this will be released, for example at your blog Toshiba?

Sorry for non C photos, but that one reminds me this one :)

QTZ

The banner is turned black (but not locked) - when I have added new post with png to existing topic...

Edit: OK, first post is done for now, please read!

QTZ

I mean this part: (...) while allready having a topic for it? but never mind, I have moved the information of caricons to new topic . Ped transparency error and fix example also moved to more accurate topic . OK, I know your opinion about zombies. (...) they are not part of the orignal formula. They...

QTZ

Making my own pack will not add anything new. Fixing MC1SE is really cool for me :) - This is *only* version which have add-on / custom tracks and cars and everything working for net play, so it's much more interesting than my own "clean" pak which can be created out of existing one or eve...

QTZ

I hope this is right place. (Moved from here ) When we starting to edit peds we usually exporting existing one using default tools like CarmagEdit in this example ( all screens are taken from CarmagEdit ): https://qtz.cwaboard.co.uk/screens/palette_problem/1-cam-stock.png Then we editing those pictu...

QTZ

I want to show how it look like :) otherwise I can put just link to bitmaps? may I? or it will screw up a banner? In this case I will keep pictures + links. Is this correct?

QTZ

So this was you :) This need to be in bmp format to be ready to edit... previously and this time I have added link to original files (click on picture) which is also deleted... OK, but this is really pain - Each time when I'm updating bitmaps I need to remember and update png in post too. Maybe you ...

QTZ

I have created an attempt to Setup-Launcher for Mastro's C1 Special Edition which work only with my latest patch installed. It's early beta, so there is no any safty checks - just DO NOT TRY WITH OTHER VERSIONS OR WITH EDITED FILES - otherwise it will mess up your installation and corrupt your exec!...

QTZ

Thing which is missing from C1/SP and no one care about so much are caricons - those are icons displayed during net play. Car icons are very useful when we are in net play we can see which cars are in play and who driving which car. To see caricons in game look screen shots or try to run net mode (C...

QTZ

Swapping parts are fixed since 2003 :) but for all other problems I mentioned in e-mail I still waiting for your help :) Edit7: I have found that "bglunder.pix" have many versions - few different, and few very similar... For testing we need at least 3 players connected (as far as I remembe...

QTZ

@Coffey This is about peds! Maxine made corrupted peds (the older ones). With PP this will never happened. You don't need to do anything unusual, but patch (once) you tools you are using everyday. I really don't understand why you afraid of correct palettes? Deep_Blue asks me how it works and now he...

QTZ

But censored versions was made by original team and build in all game versions (robots are in all known versions [in MaxPack present, but not accessible], zombies are in UK version [normal peds are present, but not accessible there] and Max Pack [robots are present, but not accessible there]). I agr...

QTZ

Oh I see, you like backgrounds ;) Never mind...

I guess you are talking about C2. I haven't seen this error...

But for errors tracing I'm using ProcessMonitor (or older FileMon). It show process activity. So we can see on which file game crash or at least which files are loaded / accessed so far.

QTZ

Idiot? Why? I really like reading your posts :)

Hint for the future: to capture focused window only - press Alt+PrintScreen (then paste to your graphic program).

QTZ

Main purpose is testing / bug fixing. I fixed some bugs from stock C1+SP and MSE, and now I'm testing and searching for other bugs in MSE. (My patch for SP / Meld [without addons] is not released yet). Other purpose is to make screen-shots with new car icons set up, from three (or even more in the f...

QTZ

Since there is no way to start C1 in network mode without net connection - testing network mode is really pain. For example we need to connect few PC in one room, but what if we have one... and we just want to test some changes we made. So I decided to try run multiple instances of C1 on one PC. Unf...

QTZ

Hallo, QTZ I allready have my own system for making pallets in my C1 items. I know, you must have, doing so many cool items... But try to use patched tools - it help exporting and preview all frames/textures with transparency visible and separated - it is much better than patching or loading palett...

QTZ

I wasn't surprised... such unexpected news - cool :).
But since AFD is over I want to hear more about this project ;).

QTZ

I will try to download viewers I mentioned above next month (if you can, you may try it faster), so then I will try to open the file (it's archive). CarEd... I think I need to try it too :) But still busy with all that patch stuff... and other projects... OT: 3D stuff I made was 3D Studio simple mod...

QTZ

I wonder how his model look like... I have found 600MB Autodesk Inventor Viewer and 190MB AutoVue Trial . Unfortunately those are too big for me right now. He know how to make 3D model, how to make textures, how to paste text on picture, saving images in many formats, how to import bitmaps to flics,...

QTZ

Since I am not registered on FF... Deep_Blue, Mastro, you are both wrong... pixelmap height may be any size from 1 to 256 (and bigger for other non texture files), but width must be always multiple of 4, so from 4 to 256 step 4 (otherwise game will show corrupted graphic). Not tested by myself, but ...

@Alex - here is the file for you:

DO NOT use other peoples avatars!
I really don't think Mad Maxine, Coffeycup or anyone else allow you to do that!

QTZ

Mastro I hope I guessed correctly that you want to add this track to MC1SE and I have done this for you. I have created next version of Mastro's C1 Special Edition Patch 3 which include El Morte Desert track in patch form. I have fixed NONCARS to 8.3 format(!!!). Also renamed them to "2", ...

QTZ

Sorry, Coffey I will try to edit my posts off-line before posting... Also, you told me "this is just a kid"... Alex, The topic is "New Releases by Alex Self A 9" :swheel: MS Paint together with "Purple Patched" CarmagEdit (included with Mastro's mod) is enough for most ...

QTZ

For simple conversion this doesn't require much skill. I already described how to make it, but you may use different method depend of software you are using. You have already done Vanellope Von Schweetz, so what is the problem with other files? I can convert the files for you, but this will be bette...

QTZ

Coffeycup, I know... but I think he is smart enough ;) Alex, here are OPrime bitmaps converted to C1 menu palettes - You can import them to destination flic. This is simple MS Paint copy-paste work, of your 256 colors images (result may be better using 24 bit source images or/and better software). A...

QTZ

I already noticed that you don't care about cut outs, but it wasn't only thing I was talking about. There are other important things and advices. You should know already how to edit flics and how not to post so many posts one after another. But it seems you skipping almost everything, so how can I h...
