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.

2.NemPosted: Sep 23rd, 2007 - 3:37:02 pm

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

4.MainassassinModified: Oct 7th, 2007 - 1:50:41 pm

! Cannot execute 'C:DOCUME~1KyleLOCALS~1TempRar$EX00.094VTFEdit.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.

7.Neural_OverloadPosted: Aug 15th, 2008 - 3:51:16 am

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

8.chris kModified: Jun 2nd, 2010 - 4:52:22 pm

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

9.NemPosted: Jun 13th, 2010 - 12:27:04 pm

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.

Can't yuu recompile it?

16.DomIIIPosted: Aug 27th, 2011 - 7:16:00 am

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

17.ShiroModified: Aug 27th, 2011 - 8:55:04 pm

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

18.DomIIIModified: Aug 28th, 2011 - 4:55:32 am

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? ;)

19.SyncronicityModified: Aug 30th, 2011 - 3:43:48 pm

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

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

21.DomIIIPosted: Aug 31st, 2011 - 4:52:54 am

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.

22.SyncronicityPosted: Aug 31st, 2011 - 8:30:30 am

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.

23.crossalchemistPosted: Sep 3rd, 2011 - 11:10:08 am

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

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

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.

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?

41.wtf_suckerPosted: Mar 14th, 2012 - 4:00:55 pm

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..

42.jabberwockModified: Apr 6th, 2012 - 10:04:41 am

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

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.

44.icyhatePosted: Jul 2nd, 2012 - 9:47:54 am

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

45.Zenox96Posted: Jul 30th, 2012 - 6:17:20 pm

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.

Vtfedit Download

Hello, Im attempting to install VTFEdit(Nems Tool), but the main site was down and the link took me to a place that was too confusing, so i ended up getting it from a place called TophattWaffle(Here) But its not complete i guess, so i had to get the 'Runtime' files too for whatever reason... Well, I'm not a professional video game developer. I'm just a guy that just started playing around with making mods and animations as a hobby, so I have absolutly no idea how to install these runtimes.. lol

Vtfedit Alternative

Don't worry, TopHattWaffle is a trusted website. As for the runtimes, I'm not sure if it matters where you extract them to.
