This is WIP!

This tool aims to convert .DTX texture files (extracted from LithTech engine games such as Tron 2.0) into .PNG images, including all mipmap levels if present.

Requirements - .NET 8.0 SDK or later (Install via Homebrew if necessary: brew install dotnet-sdk) - SixLabors.ImageSharp library (Already included in project via NuGet.)

To build and generate a standalone executable (without DLLs):

1. Open the terminal and navigate to the project folder.
2. Restore dependencies:

dotnet restore

3. Publish the project as a single file executable:

dotnet publish -c Release -r osx-arm64 --self-contained true -p:PublishSingleFile=true -p:IncludeNativeLibrariesForSelfExtract=true

4. The output executable will be located in:

./bin/Release/net8.0/osx-arm64/publish/dtx2png

(Note: no .dll extension — it will be a real executable.)

5. (Optional) Give execution permission if needed:

chmod +x ./bin/Release/net8.0/osx-arm64/publish/dtx2png

⸻

./dtx2png <input.dtx> <output.png>

Example:

./dtx2png jet_texture.dtx jet_texture.png

• The main image and all mipmap levels will be automatically extracted.
• Mipmap levels will be saved as <filename>_mip1.png, <filename>_mip2.png, etc.

⸻

• Only 32-bit uncompressed DTX files are currently supported.
• If your file uses a different compression or format, adjustments may be necessary.
• This tool was designed to be clean, minimal, and cross-platform (macOS, Linux, Windows).
