E' disponibile sul sito ufficiale la nuova versione 2.16.0 dell'utility WinMip, molto comoda per l'apertura e l'editing dei vari files grafici dei titoli targati Papyrus, da Grand Prix Legends fino al recente Nascar Racing 2003. Ecco le novità di questa release:
#CONTINUE#
All changes, additions and improvements only refer to NR2003.
- Added support for tga files on the WinMip surface and the car file editor. Not yet for the batch conversion.
- Added support for a priority flag in NR2003 mips. The priority determins how many miplevels are dropped compared to other mips when necessary.
- Added possibility to use WinMip2 as a surface for the Papytools Makemip and Makestp.
For the usage of these additions please read the respective sections in the manual "WinMip 2 Help".
IMPROVEMENTS AND BUGFIXES
- Improved texture compression code for type-11 mips.
- Removed possibility to set the number of subimages, for the mips wouldn´t show in game when the number is not set correctly when using the Open GL rasterizer. Now only all or no subimages are selectable.
- Reduced the RAM consumption when unpacking dat files which should prevent WinMip from hanging on systems with low RAM when unpacking big dat files.
- Fixed a bug not converting type-7 mips to bmp when the batch conversion is used.
- Fixed a bug not converting bmps with additional alpha maps to stps when the batch conversion is used
