okay, i got Jezz's templates, cut them out, turned them into .pngs, made 7 copies. named them properly, named the file bladetest, Dragged the file over to XBMCtex, drop it in, tex runs, then i get an error report from windows, what am i doing wrong. Please help i'm anxious to try this, thanks.

you don't drag files over xbmctex you need to run it as a commandline tool  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
you need to stick every image you want into a dir with no subdirs put xbmctex.exe into that dir and run it from the command line like this

CODE

xbmctex.exe -quality high

or you could copy that line into a text file save it as somthing like MakeXPR.bat in the same folder as xbmctex.exe then just double click it and it should make a textures.xpr file that you need to rename to somthing before ftping over so you don't over write all the default ones

From its help

QUOTE

Usage:
  -help            Show this screen.
  -input <dir>     Input directory. Default: current dir
  -output <dir>    Output directory/filename. Default: Textures.xpr
  -quality <qual>  Quality setting (min, low, normal, high, max). Default: normal
  -noprotect       XPR contents viewable at full quality in skin editor
  -onlyswizzled    Only allow swizzled textures (faster rendering, larger memory use) rather than linear textures

Well looks like you did them right to the dimensions the skin uses not the original size I hate to think how much time it took you to line them all up

[warlion]

i took me like 2 hours to ajust the blades , but i already see in your themplates that the size are not the sames jajaj

i still working in a new blades but i have to work a little bit more but with your templates this will be much easy, thanks jezz

dude my heads about to pop, i know dos, atleast i thought i did. I can't navigate. Xp's  dos window comes up.. it says c:\documents and settings\User>, i hit dir. i hit c:\, i'm freakin' out. This should be so simple damit. okay, i did a ggogle search to refresh my dos commands memory and that didn;t help. I put my "bladetest" file into c:\, tryied to go to c:\bladetest, why does this dos suck, i'm know i'm stoopid too,arrgggggggg help

[warlion]

cd     -foldername  to enter a folder  cd themes
cd..   -to exist a forder                     cd..
dir    -to see files                             dir  
rename - rename a file            rename texture.xpr superman.xpr

a:/desktop/foldername>xbmctex - input

[GreenfieldToys]

arrrrrrggggggggggghhhhhhh........

It worked, i successfully ran the program in dos, it did its thing...then just like before i got an error report and tex had to shut down. So i think you can drag and drop files into tex, the exact same process happens both ways. Any more ideas, does xp fuk up dos programs, i read that somewhere....


this is exactly what i've done.... i made 7 pngs, put them in a file named bladetest. I then put xbmctex in the same file. I put bladetest in c:\. so i type c:\bladetest\xbmctex.exe -quality high. It runs and i get an error, help:)

Still no luck, do i have to do everything from dos, is making a folder in windows the same as making a dir in dos. It seems i'm dooing this right. is there another program i need to run tex right. i've tried -input, -quality high, it always runs for 8-12 sec than locks up and i get a report error window, does anyone else have this problem....

[mbezik]

i followed the instructions - made the bat file like jezz x said and it worked like a dream thanks jezz for your clear and concise instructions!!
