Java utilities for cross-platform DirectDrawSurface texture management

DDS-Utils

DDS-Utils are a bunch of tools to work cross-platform with DirectDrawSurfaces textures in Java. These work well decent on MacOS and provide an alternative to the nVidia Texture Tools.

DDS-Utils Provides

• Badds - Batch a DDS, Rescale and Batch-process DDS-files.
• Radds - Review a DDS, Lightweight DDS-viewer
• Dropps - Simple DDS-image-converter
• DDSUtil - Wannabe-library for DDS-conversion

Each subproject has its own project folder in the repository. I use eclipse to check each one out. The Tools require the DDSUtils-project in their buildpath.

History

The project came from some game development projects in summer 2008. I needed tools for for reviewing and processing DDS texture files. This was my first own bigger java project and therefore I'm sure there are things that can be nicer and I'm open for feedback and criticism.

State of the project

Core development finished around 2011 and the projects did not get any updates in regards to Java language changes or modern ways of code organization. The tools still run, if you add them in Eclipse or IntelliJ and setup the right build paths.

I moved on from Java a while ago and do not have plans for this project. I therefore welcome if anyone wants to fork this or modernize it.

dds-utils's Issues

Right-click zoom

When clicking right into the canvas, a small popup appears zooming into the area. Similar go gp3edit back in the days.

Radds: Weird progress dialog

In Radds on Windows there is a weird progress dialog displayed on image loading. This is induced by BlockingScope.Application only on Windows and needs proper Locales.

Save current directory

Save the current folder in both treeview and open dialog and restore after restart.

Dropps: White alpha with BMP32

Converting a BMP32 with 32bit per pixel and an alpha channel doesn't recognise the alpha channel and results in a dds with white alpha.

DDSUtils: DX10 support

Some new features in DX10 for DDS-files:

what exactly means Databuffer has not the expected length?

it occurs in

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Databuffer has not the expected length: 160000 instead of 640000
at ddsutil.ByteBufferedImage.convertDataBufferToARGBArray(ByteBufferedImage.java:139)
at ddsutil.ByteBufferedImage.convertBIintoARGBArray(ByteBufferedImage.java:111)
at compression.DXTBufferCompressor.(DXTBufferCompressor.java:66)

is this because my input image is bad (it's a png) ?

on the other hand, when i use Dropps to convert that exact png it works!

Dropps: RGB Channels swapped

When PNG files are opened, the RGB channels are swapped.

Radds: Go to folder

meh, die Aufklappmenüs sind meh
Hättest bei Radds kein Feld einbauen können bei dem man einen Pfad eingeben kann?
D:\Dennis\CTDP\f11994\trunk\game\GameData\Vehicles\CTDP\CTDP\CTDPF1_1994\pacific\MAS << bei dem da wird's nämlich ungemütlich

You could to a goto-folder to jump to a folder in the treeview

Dropps: Reverse conversion

Not only conversion TO DDS, but also DDS to other formats.

Problem displaying FileSystemTree

There is a problem displaying the correct filesystem tree in Windows 7. The items beneath the Comuter-node are not display correctly in version 1.1

Badds: create own presets

Woulld be nice to create own presets.

Dropps: more responsive actions

More Response when a conversion is finished. Did it work? Did it overwrite existing files?

Artifacts available?

Hi I'm looking fora java dds lib, is there some way to use this as a maven/gradle dependency?

Radds: Refresh FileTreeView

Give a possibility to refresh the file tree.

can image convert to DDS?

TGA supported depth

TGA only supports color depth 32bit, this should be checked and ensured.
