.NET Framework v2.0 (22,938 KB Executable) - VTFEdit is written in C++ .NET (using Visual C++ 2005 SP1) and as such requires the .NET runtime and Visual C++ SP1 libraries to run. The .NET runtime is also available as a Windows Update. v2.0 is required.

I'm having trouble setting VTFEdit as a defaul app under Vista. I find the executable and double-click it, but it just won't appear on the list.

I don't actually use Vista, so I'm not familiar with it.

Hi

I have just installed your vtf edit program and all appears to be working fine except the convert wad function

No matter what wad or output directory I select the convert button will just not function

I hope you can help..
btw I tried searching the forum but its a little bit difficult when my problem involved the word wad, and the forum doesn't let anyone search for words under 4 letters

! Cannot execute "C:\DOCUME~1\Kyle\LOCALS~1\Temp\Rar$EX00.094\VTFEdit.exe"

That happend with the archive, Installer:

This application has failed to start beacause the application configuration is incorrect. (Re-Installing didn't help)

And i wanna skin real bad!! (TF2)

Also I like how you based this site off of Fpsbanana.com

Looks like it's got a dependency on msvcrt80 dll:

From the event log:
"Resolve Partial Assembly failed for Microsoft.VC80.CRT. Reference error message: The referenced assembly is not installed on your system."

Only noticed this because I just did a re-format and haven't got around to installing Visual Studio 2005 on this machine yet.

Here's a link to the redist for people who don't have Visual Studio 2005 installed:

Nem, you might want to add that link to the main article.

Hope that helps everyone.

I doubt that trying the VC Redist will work. I had a similar problem when I first installed Vista. The problem was a corrupt Side-By-Side configuration in my windows profile. Making a new windows profile and logging in to that fixed my problem.

Oddly, trying to install VC Redist failed because of the same problem in the first place.

I just installed the redist from the post above yours and now the program works!

This is the one i had problems with. Wow where did i post that other comment??

I get a error that says

Error (ITEM HERE) Error: File signature does not match 'VTF'.



These are files from left 4 dead 2 to let you know its not because its not a real valve texture it is one actually i think you need to update its formats if there is different formats? not sure

It's probably not a .vtf file then. If you believe otherwise, feel free to email the offending file to me and I'll test it personally.

I'm running Windows 7 x64 and can't get the 64 bit version to run. It appears in my processes for a little bit but kills it self. The 32 version works just find though.

It isn't work on Winows 7 - 64 Bit. I turned back to VTFEdit 1.2.5

Val, Emrets61, works fine here (Windows 7 x64)

I get the "side-by-side" configuration error on Win 7 64bit. Emrets61, is that what you're getting too? Any input?

Corran2015, did you install all four runtimes?

Doesn't work with Windows 7 x64 Professional, or 32 bit XP Mode virtual machine!!!.

Can't yuu recompile it?

n1mr0d, what exactly is the problem / error message? Also, did you install both runtimes? It works fine here, Win7 x64.

Same error here. Side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Running Windows 7 x64. Tried new user, same error. Have redistribution packages installed. Reinstalled, no luck.

Edit: Also does NOT work under Windows XP 32 bit VM. "Failed to start because the application configuration in incorrect."

Needs work clearly

To everyone who has the Side-By-Side-error when starting the application, the problem clearly is on your side: install Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package ATL Security Update (x64 users should install both versions) or get the most recent security updates for the Visual C++ 2005 Runtime from Windows Update. This will fix your Problem, it did on a freshly-installed test machine of mine (since I usually install windows updates, I did not run into the problem when testing before).
@Nem, maybe you should include that link in your main post? ;)

DOMIII I get the Side-By-Side error as well and I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times. Is there something I am missing?

This is what my installed programs is showing as installed on my computer. I am running Windows 7 64 bit. The computer is only a few months old and I have run the Microsoft update and it's not coming up with anything else.

Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1
Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile
Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Extended
Microsoft C++ 2005 Redistributable
Microsoft C++ 2005 Redistributable(x64)
Microsoft C++ 2008 Redistributable -x86 9.0.30729.17
Microsoft C++ 2008 Redistributable - x86 9.0.30729.4148
Microsoft XNA Framework Redistributable 4.0

Update
Tried it on another computer with Windows 7 and got the same thing.

Have you installed the updated runtime that I linked to?
I tested this on a fresh install of Win7 x64: installed VTFEdit and the runtimes from the main post and got the SxS error. Then I went through the list of Windows updates and installed the most recent update for the C++ 2005 runtime. After that, the SxS error was gone.
Please make sure that you installed the update and try again. If the problem persists, tell me so I'll have a look at sxstrace.

Well I just went through and attempted to install the 4 packages at the top. Both .NET frameworks would not install. the x86 would not install because I'm running 64bit and the x64 would not install because it's already installed. Both C++ Redistributables installed and the update for c++ Redistributable installed. I'm still getting the side by side error. I then installed VTF1.2.5 and it does run.

I get the side-by-side error too. BUT, the x86 copy of VTFEdit that's packaged with VTFLib works.

Windows 7 Pro x64
All my frameworks and redists (.NET, C++, etc.) are up to date.

Will the problems with Windows 7 ever be fixed?

I haven't had the time to setup a VM and try again, but I will do later this week.

i get code 14001 whenever i try to run the program any idea y on vista as well

I installed the redists and am still getting the side-by-side error.
Windows 7 64-bit.

http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=26347

This one solved my side-by-side (is the 2011 vc++2005 redist)

Wow, this worked! thanks bro!

Yes it worked nice one

For all those having trouble with Windows 7 64bit install these http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=26999 and it should work.

So I have used this program in the past and made some nice sprays for L4D. Animated at that. But now when I import files to VTFedit my sprays end up purple outlines. Any help here? I updated the program and such but im totally lost on this one. They look good except being totally purple. Not checkered black and purple just purple with a outline of the image. Happens when i make animated or single.

hey it isnt work on W7 x64

i have same problem like the mainassasin


That happend with the archive, Installer:

This application has failed to start beacause the application configuration is incorrect.

The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command line sxstace.exe tool for more detail.

Anyone know whats wrong with my vtfedit?

I've installed the runtimes yet I still get the error. I've updated to 1.3.3 and the error gave a bit more information. Something about a code 14001.
What am I doing wrong? :s
I'm running on Windows 7 64-bit.

i am having the same issues with this i have made sure i have all the other required installs as well running same system win 7 64 bit? any help please contact me asap thank you

Your name is quite fitting, my friend.

I can confirm ProblemSolver's download fixed the x64 issue.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP

I have windows 7 64 bit, pretty much everyone does now, it is the year 2012. VTFEDIT DOES NOT WORK. I get the Error loading VTF texture: File is corrupt; file to small for it's header. error.


HOW IS ANYONE MODDING ANY VALVE GAME RIGHT NOW??? REVERT TO SLOW MACHINES TO STAY COMPATIBLE WITH THIS GAME BY VALVE?

I got this working. The file corrupt error was because I was trying to open the texture files in the 'models' directory of the pak01_dir.vpk of Left 4 Dead. All those textures were 0 KB. The real textures are in the 'materials' directory.

Just letting ppl know because the instructions on the valve developer site don't say this as part of the VFTEdit instructions.

And I know other people have experienced this from reading the comments..

Just a bump of info from before (since I missed it and spent a lot of time figuring it out myself): for XP at least (don't know about Vista or 7), if you need to install the C++ 2005 redistributable, be sure to install the latest update, not the one in the link under "Download" above.

At this point in time, it's the MFC security update:
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=26347

Okay, ProblemSolver's Method worked.
Install
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=26347

This will fix both "The application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect." and "The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect." messages on Windows 7 and Windows XP. If you're running 64 bit, Install both 86 and 64. Don't worry about IA64.

Hey, nem could you please give this the ability to add you own mipmaps because right now that function is just dead weight. plus it would be great to have fading animated gif sprays... i can already kind of do this but it is very restricted to an animated gif then nothing far away... if there is any way of doing this like a work around to dds files Please tell me Thank you

Nem i dont know if you have either the time or the want to add a feature like this but i would like to be able to animate .vtfs by using other .vtf files. Or if you could add the ability to change the mipmaps to existing files I would be able to apply the same effect to my .vtf files.

The effect I'm trying to achieve is animating a spray which has mipmaps that change so that as a player moves closer not only does the image change but the new image being displayed is also animated.

Hi Nem,
After running the latest installer for the program, whenever I try to launch the program I get the error message:
"This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect."
Hope you can help.
Thanks.

iv installed every thing correctly, iv even used the installer to make sure and iv uninstalled and installed twice now HELP!

Those of you who can't get it working on Win7 64bit, even though you installed all the runtimes (like me). Download the archived version and try the 32bit version. That worked for me.

there is no 32bit

For those who got side-by-side error on running VTFEdit v1.3.3

Nem's msvcr80.dll version is 8.0.50727.6195 and his/her exe probably requires (through an internal manifest) this specific version.

I have a problem."parallel configuration invaild",but 1.25 version is working,but i cant edit portal2 materials :(
please help!(windows 7 64bit)
sorry my bad english

Having the same issue. I know that I needed to also download those runtime(?) files as well but Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 (x86)link is no longer available...

This is the One.

Is there a doc somewhere that explains each of the different resize methods (for the -rmethod) and resize filters (for the -rfilter)?

In VTFEdit, the dialogs lists their names, but no explanations. Likewise, the help output at the command-line of VTFCMD lists their names, but no explanations either.

Resize Methods:

NEAREST
BIGGEST
SMALLEST

Resize Filters:

POINT
BOX
TRIANGLE
QUADRATIC
CUBIC
CATROM
MITCHELL
GAUSSIAN
SINC
BESSEL
HANNING
HAMMING
BLACKMAN
KAISER
