- !ReadMe file for Texture Garden v0.47
- =====================================
-
- Contents
- ~~~~~~~~
- !TexturGdn - The main Texture Garden application.
- Texture Garden is an algorithmic texture generation program.
-
- Extras - Contains a syntax-colouring mode for the !Zap text editor.
- This is designed specifically for displaying texture files.
-
- Textures - Contains a number of text descriptions of textures.
- These may be dragged into !TexturGdn windows to display them.
-
- Getting started
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Run the "!TexturGdn" application and drag a few text files from somewhere
- inside the "Textures" directory into its main window.
-
- Cosmetic improvements
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- There are a number of sprites which Texture Garden will use if they are
- in the WIMP's sprite pool. I used to supply these with the program, but
- I was advised that putting them into the WIMPs sprite pool without the
- user's permission was bad practice. Some of them are so common that
- although they are not in ROM, most people will easily be able to source
- copies. If you have sprites named "ptr_hand" or "ptr_menu" then Texture
- Garden will use them. Also, "small_diro", "file_fff²" and the various
- other files referred to in section 04 of the "Docs.Technical" file will
- be used if they are available.
-
- Upgrading
- ~~~~~~~~~
- Those upgrading from previous versions of Texture Garden are advised to
- scan the "!TexturGdn.Docs.History" file to get some idea of the changes.
- Also they should bear in mind the following points:
-
- ...from versions 0.44 - 0.46
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- * The "Textures", "!TexturGdn.Textures.Palette" directories are unchanged.
- * "Extras.ZapTexture" has been updated.
-
- ...from versions 0.40 - 0.43
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- * Make sure you delete the "!TexturGdn.Palette" directory.
- * Nothing in the "Textures" directory has changed.
- * !Zap should no longer consider things beneath "Palette" directories
- to be Textures.
- * ZapTexture has received an update.
- * If you experience any problems, try deleting "!TexturGdn.Prefs".
-
- ...from versions 0.31 - 0.39
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- * Delete your "!TexturGdn.Prefs" file; the format has changed.
- * Some files have been deleted from the "!TexturGdn.Resources" directory.
- * In the "Textures" directory only the "!ReadMe" and the "WWW.!Button"
- files need to be updated.
-
- ...from v.0.30 and earlier versions.
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Probably simplest to update all the files.
-
- Enjoy.
