TexturePacker

2016-06-01T14:24:24Z

Supp:

{{mininav|[[Development]]|[[Add-on development]]|[[Skinning]]}}
<section begin="intro" />Kodi uses a tool named TexturePacker to compile all images used in a skin into a single file. The benefit of it is that images inside the Textures.xbt will load faster in the skin. This is done by converting all images into a format that take less processing by Kodi when they need to be rendered onto the screen.

A common misconception is that TexturPacker will just compress the images into a single file. This if far from the truth, so don't be surprised if the Textures.xbt file is much larger than the total size of all the individual images.
<section end="intro" />
== How To Get It ==
If you are using Windows, you can simply download a zipfile with an up-to-date version of TexturePacker from the Kodi mirrors.
<br /><big>'''It is available here:''' [http://mirrors.kodi.tv/build-deps/win32/texturepacker-1.1.1-win32.7z '''Download TexturePacker 1.1.1''']</big>
{{note| This is a dll free self contained texturepacker executable for windows.}}
{{note| Kodi v17 does not support DXT packed textures anymore. Make sure you pack your skin textures with latest texturepacker (1.1.0 or newer).}}

On other platforms, you will have to compile TexturePacker. TexturePacker is built and stored in ../tools/depends/native/TexturePacker/bin during Kodi's configure process. Bootstrap and configure can be lengthy. If you only need TexturePacker, you can save some effort: install the Kodi source and build dependencies in preparation for a build ([http://kodi.wiki/view/Category:Compiling '''Compiling from source''']) and build TexturePacker directly:

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
cd xbmc/tools/depends/native/TexturePacker
make
</syntaxhighlight>

{{Note| TexturePacker depends on libgif which is currently not a ''Kodi'' dependency. Ensure the library and its development headers (Debian: libgif-dev package) is installed before compiling.}}

== Usage ==
Since TexturePacker is a command-line tool, you will need to open a dos box/terminal/console in order to run it. Navigate to the kodi addons folder and use:
<pre>TexturePacker -dupecheck -input skin.name\media -output skin.name\media\Textures.xbt</pre>

The optional ''-dupecheck'' option is useful if you have included the same image multiple times in your media folder. For example, if your skin includes a lot of studio logos, most likely a lot of them are included multiple times but with a slightly different filename. The '-dupecheck' option will make sure each unique image is included only once in the Textures.xbt file, thus keeping the size of it as small as possible.

If your skin includes [[Skin_development_introduction#Skin_Themes]] you should also run TexturePacker on your theme folders:
<pre>TexturePacker -input skin.name\themes\Blue -output skin.name\media\Blue.xbt</pre>

{{Note| When using an XBT file in your skin, your file paths will '''not''' be case sensitive, even if your skin resides on a case sensitive file system!}}

Alternatively, you can use the [[TextureTool|Kodi - Texture Tool]] which provides a Graphical User Interface for the same usage.

=== Texturepacker build bat ===
Create a Texturepacker.bat with the contents below, inside the skin.name directory along with all the texturepacker.exe, a double click on the bat file does all the work for you.
