Ok, dont ask why just tell me if there is a program that converts jpg images
to ras files, without going through aw. I know there is a program that can
do ras to jpg, but this way I dont have to wait for the image to upload and
load on aw.

I don't have such a program, but a hint that might help :

use a local object path instead of upload/download. The files from
there are not directly used from the local place but inserted into
the cache as if they would have been loaded from the web.
This should even work offline.

You can use any program like ACDsee, photoshop, psp....just open the jpg and then click save as and choose ras.
I know ACDsee can do it but i dont know if the other ones allow you to save as ras they might.

Not the same .ras format.... AW's .ras format is somewhat modified from the sun systems .ras format somehow..... and the AW
browser's automatic sizing functions go and confuse it even more..... You can use Ananas' RWRAS2BMP to convert backwards, if you
need to save a lost texture from the cache, but it doesn't work on ALL of them..... only textures that are originally sized on
powers of 2, like 64x62, 128x128, 256x256 and so on.... He helped me save some lost textures early this year, that's how we found
this problem :O/ got some back, but not the ones that werent 'square' since the browser resized them to it's liking before it saves
them in the cache folders.... So, I doubt it'd work if you saved in the .ras format that ACDsee uses, which is the 'real' one...

It is console based, a 32-bit windows application

why make it simple when you can make it complicated? :)

oh, for somereason it doesnt work for me, i double click it, but it opens
and quickly closes. im on win XP pro.
i remeber reading about something like this when i tried learning c++ lol,
on some versions of windows you have to state for it to not close or
soemthing? or was that you the other way around?

[View Quote] Unless ananas puts system("pause"); in his program you'll need to actually learn how
to run console applications. This includes starting up an DOS window inside windows
and cd'ing to the directory then executing the program. That's as simple as I can
make it.

Say if you put the program in c:\prog\ you would go to run and type command ; then
you would type cd \ then cd prog ; after you did that you type the name of the
program and hit enter.

that's what I just said ;O) AW's .ras format isn't the same thing..... reread my previous post.

Of course you're right, that's why I did it like this :)

Console applications are way simpler to use in batch mode and
a 15 minutes quickie in C without GUI is way simpler than a
bloated windoze application in C++
