LGT(Leo's Games Tools)

Hi Leo2236,

I have a question about the texture format (cdp, cnp) and perhaps you can help me out. I am trying to make a GT2 I/O Maxscript set, just for practicing Maxscript. So far I have managed to get the actual models in-game with UV coordinates, but I am struggling with the textures. What I understand so far is that they are 256x224 textures, with a number of palettes for the color changes of the cars. I know the colors are indexed from the address of 17312 (43A0h), and I understand that the palette colors are basically 16x16 colors, all made up out of words (two bytes).

What I don't understand is that the color indexes all refer to 4bit values (0-15) while the texture uses 256 colors. Certain parts of the texture use a certain 16 color palette strip? I cannot find out how the game knows which part of the texture uses which palette. But perhaps I am totally wrong in this assumption?

Also, I am having trouble reading the word values to rgb colors in Maxscript. I suspect it is a 16bit color (rgb565) but when looking at your source files you do some bit shift and and operations that I don't really understand. Everything I can find on the internet is referring to different shift operations and I am quite confused now.

Would it be possible for you to give me a quick explanation of your procedure in simple terms? You have written your tool in Delphi, which I can follow for the most part, but I am stuck at the color values and palette indices at the moment.

cheers and thanks for your awesome tools which have inspired me much  ,

sorry I didn't answered you earlier, about your last question as far I can remember the each polygon data have some value(bit shift) that tell which palette to use in which polygon, that's all I can remember...

Here's the source BTW:


@kian that looks nice!

...would it also be possible for you to send me the sources of your track tool, perhaps via PM?

sure thing, check your PM

Thanks a lot for the update! Have add download link the screenshot and all the rest to the first post

Hi Leo!

i wish you will be able to "read" the others tracks of GT series ( to can remake them to others games).

up today, this is your Trial Mountain mesh.

before




after ( and still to much to do)







yes, thats your cars good for atrezzo

i hope you would give some love to GT Track tool and reach the vision ( for exporting) of the rest of the tracks. Assetto community will be grateful to you forever

Thank you Submaniac and Leo. I see some nice projects going on. Me very proudina
