La2Tools

Update: Version 3.1.2: * Improved compaction: deleting even a few textures now always reduces the file (previously small deletions could still slightly grow some packages, such as fonts); Version 3.1.1: * Deleting textures now actually shrinks the package: on save it is automatically compacted, reclaiming the space of the deleted textures (format and encryption preserved); Version 3.1.0: * La2Tools now checks for updates on startup and lets you know when a newer version is available on the site; Version 3.0.9: * Fixed textures that appeared blank in some clients (their object carries an embedded shader the reader mis-parsed) — they now decode and display correctly; * ShaderCode is now editable: Texture Properties → Material → ShaderCode shows the texture's real HLSL shader (was a fixed placeholder before); edit it and Apply — works across client formats (Interlude-era through Essence 542); Version 3.0.8: * BMP now imports as a native format, like UnrealEd: 8-bit BMP becomes a P8 (paletted) texture with a real Engine.Palette, 24/32-bit becomes RGBA8, 16-bit becomes G16; * Compress to P8 — adaptive 256-color palette (median-cut quantization); P8 is also selectable as an import "Convert to" target; * Copy / Cut / Paste now works for P8 (paletted) textures; * Non-power-of-two textures are highlighted in red (tiles and table) with a tooltip; new "Fix texture size" menu item pads them to a power of two while keeping the displayed size; * Reads "broken" packages that were tampered to block editors (corrupted size fields) — the client still loads them and now so does La2Tools; * "Repair package" — shown only for a tampered package (its tab is marked red) and restores the corrupted size fields; * Added client license 30 support (reads and imports its textures); * Import dialog now auto-resizes to fit its content; Version 3.0.7: * Import: the file name is now parsed smartly — package.group.name automatically fills the Group and Name fields (the package prefix is ignored); * Import: live name validation with an inline hint and tooltip — OK is blocked until the name is valid (allows - + ' etc., forbids only characters illegal in file names); * Import: textures whose size is not a power of two are now auto-padded for ALL formats (DDS/TGA/BMP too, not only PNG/JPG/GIF) — padded to a power of two with UClamp/VClamp preserving the original display size; * Texture filter now has a clear (×) button; * Light theme: visible Chrome-style tab outlines; Version 3.0.6: * "Save as..." — toolbar button and tab-menu item: save a package under a new name to any folder, choosing the format (Old/New) and Lineage2Ver121 encryption; the tab switches to the saved file; * Tab right-click menu reworked: Save, Save as... and Settings on top; Copy path and Open in Explorer at the bottom; Version 3.0.5: * Animation grouping now follows AnimNext links instead of frame names — chains group correctly with any naming (mixed prefixes, non-sequential or 0-/1-based numbers); * GIF import: animation parameters (frame rate) and TotalFrameNum are now written only to the first frame, the rest keep just the AnimNext link — matches the game's own format; same fix applied to "Create animation"; Version 3.0.4: * Clipboard <-> Explorer: Ctrl+C in the browser then Ctrl+V in Explorer pastes the textures as files; copy files in Explorer then Ctrl+V in the browser imports them; * Rename a package right from Package settings (handles Lineage2Ver121 re-keying); * Hotkeys: F1 (About), F2 (rename), F5 (reload from disk, asks if unsaved), Delete, Enter (Properties), Ctrl+W (close tab); * The application icon now appears in the title bar of every dialog and sub-window; * Fixed flipped preview when importing TGA files; Download (Installer) | Download (Portable)

La2Tools — Lineage 2 Texture Package Editor La2Tools is a modern tool designed for viewing and editing Lineage 2 client texture packages (.utx / .ugx). It is completely self-contained—no Java installation is required, as everything is already bundled inside. It supports both classic clients (Prelude to Interlude) and modern versions (Kamael+, Essence). Key Features Package Browser Tabbed Interface: Open and work with multiple packages simultaneously. Dual View Modes: Switch between a tile view with previews and a detailed table view. Organization: Grouping and live filtering by name. UI Themes: Dark and light theme support. Animation Grouping Mode: Condenses frame sequences into a single tile with an animated preview. Split9 Indicators: Textures utilizing Split9 display a blue layout grid directly on the preview (just like in UnrealEd). Texture Editing UnrealEd-style Property Dialog: Access all categories (Animation, Material, Quality, Split9, Surface, Texture) with editable parameters. Live Preview: Zoom from 25% to 800%, choose backgrounds (checkerboard, black, or white), and view real-time Split9 grid updates. Full-Size Rendering: Previews textures exactly as they appear in-game—rendered via Split9 (9-slice), Stretch, or tiling. Clipboard Actions: Copy, cut, and paste textures between different packages. Batch Adjustments: Copy and paste parameters from one texture to multiple items at once. Animation Creator: Generate animations from selected frames, complete with FPS and looping settings. Management & Compression: Rename with group modification, batch delete, and compress into RGBA8, DXT1, DXT3, or DXT5. "Open In..." Feature: Edit textures or GFX files in any external editor (Photoshop, Paint.NET, GIMP). Once saved, changes are automatically pulled back into the package while preserving all original parameters. Import & Export Native Formats: Import DDS, TGA, BMP, and GFX directly; PNG, JPG, and GIF are converted automatically. GIF Engine: GIF files are automatically imported as ready-to-use animations (frames + AnimNext chain). Batch Import: Includes custom settings, mipmap generation, Alpha/Masked flags, and Detail Hack. Smart Replace: The "Preserve original texture parameters" option keeps Split9, animations, and clamps intact when overwriting. Mass Export: Export selected items, the current group, or the entire package. Drag & Drop: Drag files into the browser to import, or drag textures out to Windows Explorer to export. 🛠 Package Management Formats Supported: Old (Prelude — Interlude) and New (Kamael+ / Essence). One-Click Conversion: Seamlessly convert package formats between Old ⇄ New. Creation: Build new packages in any supported format from scratch. Encryption: Supports Lineage2Ver121 encryption (toggleable in package settings). Safe Editing: Works on a temporary copy with full undo/redo history (Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Shift+Z) and a single "Save" button to apply changes. 🖥 System Integration File Associations: Open .utx / .ugx files with a double-click directly from Windows Explorer (registered during installation). Single Instance: Opening a new file adds it as a tab in the already running window. Multilingual UI: Automatically detects system language (supports EN, RU, UK, ES, PT, EL, KO, VI, ZH). Specifications & Requirements Supported Formats Packages: UTX, UGX Textures: RGBA8, DXT1, DXT3, DXT5, G16, P8 Resources: GFX (Scaleform) System Requirements OS: Windows Java: Not required (pre-bundled with the application).
