There's a cool texture making tool in C:\BF2_ModTools\ToolsFL\bin called TextureTool.
This is a command-line utility that can be launched from a command prompt and these are the options that come up:

Hidden/Spoiler:

The main purpose of this tool seems to be for creating specialized textures that can be used along with some Rendertypes that are applied in Edit Flags.

For example:
I have a rock texture named rock.tga located in C:\BF2_ModTools\ToolsFL\bin and say I want an ambientbump texture created from this rock texture so I would type this:

Code: Select all

TextureTool -ambientbump -output newbumptex.tga -input rock.tga

then press enter and wait a couple of minutes and it'll say Operation Successful! when it's done.

Play around with it and see what you get!

EDIT
Here's a better outline of the options:

So does it actually tell you the commands? Or do you have to have some scripting knowledge to be able to use it?

Oh, sorry. It just looked like a jumble of random words and phrases that I'm used to getting out of a command console.
