VTF to TGA - Please Help

[MetalPiranha]

Hello. I've been having a nightmare of a problem. Using vtf2tga.exe i have been trying to convert vtfs to tgas... as you do. However when i do it, the black dos screen flashes at me then dissappears - I cant find the file anywhere so i presume it hasnt done anything.

Heres what i do:

1) Extract a vtf file using gcfscape.
2) Drag that file into vtf2tga.exe

Perhaps im doing it wrong. Could you please point me in the right direction?

Regards,

Tom

Ok i figured it out - a long winded process indeed. Is there a quicker way in which i can just double click on something which converts all vtfs in one folder to all tgas in another?

Also, i get an error when i drag and drop to convert back using vtex... hmmm?

Once ive done that, do i put the file into the mymod directory?

Cheers guys and girls.

I get the console error
