TIFFs files for CFS3 landclasses

About the TiFF file.

Dear Gecko,

I´m using this file for study only. I want to generate a LCF file before the true TIFF file for my theatre.
The main reason for this small 1000 x 1000 file is for the TIFF2LCF tool can manage it easily. I want to find if this tool have a limit. For example: This tool can convert a 1GB of a TIFF file (For a GIANT theater)?

But no success until now.. I'm afraid that this knowledge has been forgotten and lost...
I´m still trying.

Maybe It´s a resolution issue (I`m using 72 pixels/inch).

Best Regards.
 
Very interesting thread Odin, I really hope you can get this cracked.

I have nothing technical to add, the guys that had this knowledge have either sadly passed away or moved on from the hobby.

There was one chap called Rob (Biff) whom I'm assuming is no longer around but left a blog, might be some useful tit bits:

Good luck!
 
isnt there a need to keep the common game engine texture resolution rule, which in this case would be 1024x1024 image?
 
Success!!!!!!!!!

I didn't read that bit. I downloaded this a few years ago when the offer first came out. Back then it came with the serial number to activate it.
I won't post it here but if anyone wants it send me a pm.

It works fine in W10 by the way! :0)

I did the same thing, and it worked fine for years (WinXP and Win7), but recently has become unstable with a few functions not working at all.

Dear all,

Only for your info: TIFF2LCF tool can handle 9,472 pixel x 9,472 pixel, 350MB Tiff file without problems. I use only 1 landclass color for test.

There were a couple of Windows Updates back in the spring of 2016 that ruined my install of CS2 in Win 7. (disappearing tool bars, hiding image windows, dialog boxes sent behind everything that could not be brought forward, etc.). For a time I was able to find and delete the offending updates, but lately it has gotten to the point where nothing seemed to repair it. That was one of the reasons I finally had to bite the bullet and "Upgrade" to Win 10. For now it seems to be working normally again, but it's only been a couple of days so far...

nice but i thought there was a maximum theater size of about 1600km square or something like that(dont know precise #). I know that in MAW and RS they made the theaters as large as possible but sill had to leave out a bit. I would be delighted to know you found a way around this limit.
