There appears to be something strange about some of the tga files with this skin. I don't know what, but it is causing my program some real pain. If I go through the process of opening the files in Photoshop, then saving them again, they start to work for me. I have not done all the images, but have started with the ones that popped up in the messages, and now I get different ones.

Perhaps someone who understands TGA files can PM me with info about why these ones don't want to work for me.

Edit: the part of the program that loads the images is in try-catch block for exception handling, but these images seem to cause even my exception handling to throw an exception.

Edit #2: Found out that the images in question are RLE compressed, which my program cannot handle. I am attempting to create a new process to load the RLE images.

Does the Skin Viewer work with the Fenir Wood Skins?

I've only installed one skin, the Fenir Wood (none of the others are in the ...\ui\skins directory).

I get the following error after I do the file -> open -> browse to the Fenir Wood skin directory and then open the SkinDefinition.xml file that is there:

"Could not load Image: C:\Documents and Settings\....\ui\skins\Fenir Wood\basepanel_topleft.tga" click on OK for that error and I get a second error:

"Could not load Image: C:\Documents and Settings\....\ui\skins\Fenir Wood\basepanel_topright.tga" click on OK for that error and the Skin Viewer crashes, offering me Debug and Send Error Report.

Is this something I'm doing/not doing, or is it something else?

Thanks!

Also, send me a PM with any error messages that the program may produce, it could help solve the problem. Thanks.


PM sent, i have the exact same results with version 2.2 as with 3.0.

I have been working on an issue with wheatgerm in regards to DirectX not initializing properly. I am not an expert programmer, so have patience, I am trying to figure it out. There is an older version, the link for 2.2 is listed in the Archive section for download. You can try that if you like.

A couple of things to note:
1. Make sure your .Net files are all up to date
2. Do not run the program when another DirectX program is running. My program does not play nice with other programs.

Also, send me a PM with any error messages that the program may produce, it could help solve the problem. Thanks.

I just downloaded your Skin Viewer and I have to say you are doing an excellent job and filling in an empty gap in the comunity by providing us with this tool.

Thanks!

I just downloaded your app for the firs time and it wont run at all for me. Crashes immediately on startup. zip is labeled as 3.0 and the executable date is 5/5/07. Is there a newer or older version i can try? It does this for me on Vista x64, and two different Win XP 32bit installs on different machines.

lil' help! I really want to try this out as it looks like the first great tool for the mod community!

nice

I am very happy that people find the tool useful. Don't forget, you can post feature requests for the tool. I cannot guarantee I can do all the requests, but I will do as much as I can.

On a side note, I am quite busy with work and school these days, so updates may be a little slow in coming.

You don't know how much this tool helps. It reduces tedium from exiting out of the game sooo much.

D.H1cks

I'll add it to my todo list.

Can you add a way to view the mail window so Asghaard can make a skin for it? Thanks!

D.H1cks

I thought about that, and I might still do it. I am hoping to figure out the color and font of the in-game text, to make it look right.

Ya, the three 'highlighted' version. Will look at adding a toggle button to switch between normal and highlighted.

Yikes. Guess it's time I made some .tga images to make sure they are right.

The WoW interface is great. I hope you make more sometime.

Asghaard

Very good job, wonderful.

Too bad that I have finished my interface skin.

The rollover and pressed system is what i was wainting for.

For the text button order, you can maybe write the name over or in the side of the button (and possibility to hide or not the name of the button to just look at the button design).

It misses the "panel_border "and the "options_panel_divider".
For the autoattack button, it misses also 3 others positions.

There a little reversion with the "tab_tier1_middle_back_e" and "tab_tier1_middle_back_w".

Thanks a lot for your excellent work.

D.H1cks

Yup, silly me. It has been fixed in the this version.

Edit: Coming soon, mouseover and clicks that actually change the image.
