GIMP VTF PLUG-IN 1.2.1 Tom Edwards, 19th May 2012

To install, extract both the EXE and DLL to your GIMP plug-ins folder. This is typically at C:\Users<USER>.gimp-2.8\plug-ins.

If you prefer, there is also a plug-ins folder in your main GIMP installation. This is at \lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins.

To get the latest version of the plugin and download source code visit http://code.google.com/p/gimp-vtf/.

Changes

1.2.1

• Fixed errors on Windows XP

1.2

• Upgraded to GIMP 2.8
• Added 64-bit support
• Now saves top-level layer groups to separate VTF files. Store albedos, bumps, masks, and anything else in the same XCF!
• Export settings are now remembered after GIMP is closed
• Now writes I8/IA8 if the image is grayscale and the user wants an uncompressed format
• Fixed non-localised layer names when loading animated VTFs
• Removed HDR pixel formats. Neither GIMP nor VTFLib support this yet.

1.1

• Upgraded to VTFLib 1.3.2 for VTF 7.5 support
• Each open image now has its own save settings
• Save settings are now filled in when loading a VTF
• Flags not covered by the UI are now preserved when saving an opened file
• Added a simplified format selection (do you want compression, do you want alpha)
• Added options to save with LOD disabled, Clamping and/or the Bump/SSBump flags
• Added a VTF version option when saving
• Added LOD Control setting (human-configurable!)
• Added explanatory tooltips
• Added localisation support (no actual translations, but creating them is now possible)
• Fixed errors when saving an image after its designated alpha layer has been removed
• Fixed error when alpha layer doesn't fit the image
• Graceful out-of-memory handling

1.0.4

• Fixed embarrassing error when saving a single-frame image. It took 300 downloads to get one bug report...

1.0.3

• Fixed errors when saving grayscale or indexed images
• Layers are now resized and offset as appropriate when saved as frames/faces/slices

1.0.2

• Fixed GIMP error report on toggling "Use layer as alpha channel" when there are no suitable layers
• Further tweaks to format list: wierder options removed, remainder better sorted
• Corrected reported alpha bits for BGRA4444
• Renamed "Compression" header to "Pixel format", as only the DXTs are really compressed

1.0.1

• Fixed save failure when using the only layer in the image as the alpha channel (can no longer do this)
• Fixed error messages not making it from the file loader to GIMP
• Sorted format list so that all the DXTs are at the top
• Corrected alpha bit depth for RGBA16161616(F)
• Code elegance, and fixed VS post-build event for users not called Tom
