Hover! Texture tools
Tex-Tools 3.0 - Texture packer and unpacker
Use this tool to export Hover! textures to png files or generate new textures based on your own png files.
The gui version of png2tex and tex2png supports automatic generation of the color palette and is easier to use as the cli tools. Use this tool to extract the textures from the TEX files and create new TEX texture packs from scratch.
This package also contains a tiny demo maze that replaces the small.maz file and shows some example textures.

Tex-Tools 2.0
This is a command line tool. To extract all texturs from text1.tex you have to navigate to the mazes folder and run tex2bmp text1.tex text1 on the cmd. All textures will be extracted to the folder text1. To create a tex-file run bmp2tex text1 text1.tex. All textures contained in the folder text1 will be packed into text1.tex.
The program will create png-files and a palette.act file. Hover! textures have two different types of textures. Solid textures without any transparency and decals with transparency. The generated png filenames end with _T if they are normal textures. Decals are ending with _D. I created this naming convention to prevent adding a separate file with the meta-information for each texture.

Sample textures for small.maz
This is my first self created texture file. It replaces the file small.tex in the folder mazes and uses textures from the medieval maze.
