1.Introduction

1. What is N64 CITextureEditor?

   N64 CITextureEditor is a tool for editing the CI textures handled on NINTENDO⁶⁴.
   (The current version only deals with 4bit/8bit CI textures. Accordingly, the palette is restricted to 16bit RGBA/IA.)
   With the Preview plug-in, you can connect to IS-VIEWER64 and preview textures while they are being edited on the console.
   

   
   
   
2. Summary

   • Pictures(TMF + TLF)
     TextureEditor can handle and edit the so-called TMF texture image file and TLF texture lookup table file (also called the palette file) together as a pair. N64 CITextureEditor calls the structural information of this image & palette duo a "Picture."
     
     

     A number of such Pictures can be registered. And of course, it is also possible to construct Pictures by freely referencing the texture images and palettes being used by other Pictures.
     

     

   • Projects
     The Texture Project File manages a number of Pictures all together.
     N64 CITextureEditor edits 1 Texture Project File.
     
     
     You can browse Projects, as shown below.
     

   • The Plug-Ins
     The plug-ins are stored in the PlugIns folder (c:\nintendo\n64kit\texedit\bin\PlugIns\), and when N64 CITextureEditor boots up, it recognizes the DLLs stored there. The plug-ins have import/export/preview functions which are added to the menu.
     To check information about the installed plug-ins, you can open the About dialog.

     For details, please refer to the section entitled Plug-in functions.

   • Previewing Animation
     

     A preview program with source code has been included for easy inspection of flip-book animation of textures.
     (c:\nintendo\n64kit\texedit\AnimeView\) By editing the TAF file and executing the associated ANM.BAT you can animate the texture on the IS-VIEWER64.
