Need some help with TIMS

Post by **TheCAWArchive** » December 19th, 2023, 10:55 am

Tim files have got to be the most annoying thing I have ever had to tackle. I'm trying to replace some textures in WWF Attitude on the PSX but I am hitting one massive brick wall.

The IMGtoTIM tool doesn't work on my computer, for apparently no reason. I'm trying to convert some custom textures I made as PNG's in GIMP to TIMS that can be injected back into the data files to replace the ones already there. Please help. I've spent all week on this and I cannot find a way forward. I know the new TIMS needs to be exactly the same size and scale as the ones I'm replacing but I only have them as PNG's. I need to convert them to TIMS and the tool isn't working for me so how can I do this?

Hello geometry dash scratch, I think you can try going to the "File" menu in your image editing software and select "Save As" or "Export." Choose the TIM format as the output format and save the file. You may be prompted to adjust specific settings related to color depth or compression during the save/export process. Make sure to select options that are compatible with WWF Attitude and the PSX.

I understand your frustration. Converting PNG images to TIM format for use in PlayStation 1 games can indeed be challenging, especially if the tools you're using are not cooperating.

What OS are you using?
Img2tim is a great tool, I would try to getting it working. You can batch it and set the VRAM coordinates.
I use timtool yo set out rough images first, then quickly move to a batch conversion because the images change a lot, but if I need to change the size I set out using timtool again and update the batch vram values
