Benny Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 The .mtx files are multiple (tga?) image files compiled into 1 file as the bat files say. Given the license agreement and the unobscured nature of the files, someone should email the collective and ask if they could dole out some file specs or even the mtx.exe that they used to compile the 'MULTITEX' files. Its highly unlikely that you'd get a helpful response but its worth eliminating the simple before working out the file specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indy4 Posted May 9, 2003 Author Share Posted May 9, 2003 so MTX are like rar,zip,iso files that in the MTX files hold numerous files toghether. Right? and So I need to find a application named MTX.EXE? We need to figure out how to unpack it then repack it. Also anybody know anything about the MSH files?other than it stands for mesh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benny Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 No, MTX files dont seem to be compressed, rather they are a file that contains a number of images within it. You cant 'find' mtx.exe thats an in-house tool used for compiling the mtx files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indy4 Posted May 9, 2003 Author Share Posted May 9, 2003 is their anyway to convert it or unpack it without MTX.EXE? what about MSH? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benny Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 Its a custom format, ive no doubt that it can be converted back to the individual images however for that someone needs to work out the .mtx file-format. Having the original mtx tool as I suggested before would of course make this much easier since you could compile a known file into an mtx and see how it got stored. Getting mtx.exe is, as I said extremely unlikely and someone would need to ask the collective for it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indy4 Posted May 9, 2003 Author Share Posted May 9, 2003 could you open it if you knew how to use a hex editor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benny Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 No because its a custom format, unless you know where the image data is stored for each image within the file you cant view said image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indy4 Posted May 9, 2003 Author Share Posted May 9, 2003 I searched for MTX.EXE and it seems that alot of people use it is that something else? what about the SLS(level files)and the MSH files can we edit those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benny Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 Its for something else ¬ I dont know, they are custom files thats the whole point, someone has to work out the fileformat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benny Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 I dont know, either try and work it out from the file or look at how the main program loads them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
