Title: Where to get MAKEPAK?
Post by: seriojik on September 05, 2008, 01:02:52 PM
Some Years ago I had painted some Buses for Simutrans (Ikarus-260/280, LiAZ-677/5256 etc)...
Now I'd like to try to paint some more at least for Myself.
But I don't know where to get that Makepak from...  :-[

So then - welcome back!

Tutorial... hm, probably should be on wiki, but I can't find it :( It's command line program; when creating new objects, first parameter is "pak128" (change number for other sizes), then usually ./ ./ to compile all objcects in this folder to this folder...

makeobj pak128 ./ ./

To use makeobj more handy, you can create .bat commands :
Quotemakeobj pak128 2>err.txt

in "create.bat" (or other name) in the same folder as makeobj for convert dat and png files to paks.
If there is any errors, it will be written in err.txt

Quotemakeobj MERGE name.pak *.pak

in "merge.bat" (or other name) in the same folder as makeobj for merge all pak files in "name.pak" (change the name by editing the text).

If you are windows user, Pakhelper (http://minami-fukuoka.simutrans.net/english/pakhelper.html) is your best choice. It's a frontend for makeobj, simple and very easy to use.
