TREdit V1.0
Built on: Jan 1 2025, 16:46:50
Designed to convert incompatible carsets and tracks for the Rendition Edition of Indy Car Racing II
************************************************************************************************************
Usage TREdit <DATfile if unpacking|source folder> [-width <width>][-height <height>][-info]|[-report]
[-unpack | -convert | -explode <output path>]
-Unpack, -convert or -explode must be specified at the end of the line
-unpack <ExtractionPath>
To convert a carset:
-convert <Extraction Path>
To convert a track or Mi4 (paletted):
-track -convert <Extraction Path>
To extract the contents of MIP and MI4 files
for a track:
The -width and -height parameters have no effect on carsets
-explode <Output path>
for a carset
-palette <full path to sunny.pcx> -explode <Output path>
************************************************************************************************************
To convert tracks two passes will have to be carried without and with -track. When carrying out the second pass (with -track) -palette <path to sunny.pcx from carset> will have to be passed.
Some tracks currently will have to be shrunk down to 8x4 textures, in extreme cases . Riverside only required -width 64 with height omitted.
If width or height is omitted width will be 128 and height will be left alone ( left at some insanely large level).
TREdit <unpacked dat folder> -width <target width> [-height <target height>, this is optional] - convert <MIP output folder>
TREdit <MIP output folder> -palette <unpacked dat folder\sunny.pcx> -track -convert <Mi4 output folder>
Copy contents of <MIP output folder>, <Mi4 output folder> and files other than the .dat file into the track subfolder under <Indycar>\TRACKS
At the moment custom carsets will not work with high res carsets. This is being looked at at the moment. Shrinking track textures down to 8x4 (in extreme cases) isn't very pretty and work is being done to hack ICR2 to support 16 MB of VRAM, Speedy3D's limit.
To convert a carset:
TREdit <unpacked dat folder/source folder> - convert <MIP output folder>
TREdit <MIP output folder> -palette <some default track dat folder\sunny.pcx> -track -convert <Mi4 output folder>
Copy contents of <MIP output folder>, <Mi4 output folder> and files other than the .dat file into the carset subfolder under <Indycar>\CARS
Carsets generally will work after the first pass for the built in tracks. Custom carsets, such as the Detroit Downtown (Rendition specific version) will require the second pass for the carset as well.
To unpack a .DAT fild
TREdit <Path to dat> -unpack <dat folder>.
To extract the contents of MIP and Mi4 files:
TREdit <folder with unpacked/shrunk MIP or MI4 files> -palette <path to sunny.pcx (for track track specific, for carset use one from built in track> -explode <output folder>
Images will be extracted as PNGs.

vQuake with Dosbox-Rendition/RReady 16 MB of VRAM:
https://youtu.be/9Dwsj9xeNZ8
Skip to 03:55 for a little bit of mipscale_0 action.
d_mipscale 0 is fully playable. It's not in the vid, but I've been able to playthrough the first 2 levels at a solid 60 fps (with a few dips).

- Ups Speedy3D VRAM limit to 16 MB from 4 MB (Speedy3D hardware limit. Note RRedline has access to a full 128 MB thanks to higher level abstraction). The MiroV1k.VBI BIOS needs to be used.
- Includes previous fixes:
- Corrects OpenGL glsl shader "error C7011: implicit cast from "uint" to "int'" error
- 60 fps Frame Generation/interpolation supported for Gr*nd Pr*x L*egends and "Die by the Sword." Note GPL will have to be run at default resolution/4:3 (fill screen aspect) aspect as the game has a mouse lock. Higher resolutions can be selected from within the game, Your GPU's internal aspect ratio controls from its control panel should be used for aspect ratio selection. "Die by the Sword" can be upscaled without issue.
- Fixes Eur*figher 2000+ texture corruption when switching between menu and active mission. This was caused by the game writing to 8 MB of VRAM and choosing textures within the 4 MB range. Rounding write addresses modulo 4 MB, effectively restricting writes to the first 4 MB for this game, corrects the issue.[Update] This issue is fixed with 16 MB of VRAM as well. The previous fix is unnecessary,
- Whiplash minor fixes.
This release won't go into testing (and then on to to a store release) for at least another week.

Re: RReady Rendition Verité Wrapper
Managed to increase the heap size for ICR2 to 49 MB and full fat carsets work just fine natively. The tracks are another matter though and will probably need DOSBox to support 128 MB of RAM or something.
These should work on original hardware provided the machine has at least 64 MB of RAM.

For best results you'll need the upcoming build of RReady with 16 MB of VRAM. I'll try and release that as soon as possible.

- Support for a full 16 MB of VRAM for Speedy3D apps. This is the upper limit for Speedy3D (24 bit).
For Speedy3D apps, VRAM is configured in dosbox-rendition.conf (or ...-staging.conf) with
[rendition]
MaxVRAM =nn (nn is in MB, range 4-16, default 16)
For RRedline MaxVRAM=nn can be set in rendition.cfg and it defaults to 128 MB
- vQuake beta 1.06 is once again playable and joins betas 1.07 and 1.08 (recommended beta)
- Higher resolutions may be selectable in vQuake but currently have issues. This will be resolved in a future release.
- Bilinear filtering can be disabled by adding nofilter=1 to rendition.cfg. Some games might not render correctly with this setting.
- vHexen II additional resolutions can be unlocked by selecting the game in the WinApps tab of RLauncher and clicking "App Settings."->Unlock resolutions. There may be rendering bugs with higher resolutions. This will be fixed in a future update.
ICR2 with bilinear filtering disabled:
