New Modding Tool Helps Display Texture Files

has released a new

web app to help aspiring modders of Prophecy and Secret Ops. It can work in conjunction with his

program, which exports MAT textures from Vision Engine Wing Commander games. Although they're generally low res compared to modern titles, there's still quite a bit to work with in the games' data files! You can find additional information

.

I just created a small web app that loads MAT files made for WCP/SO and displays them on HTML5 Canvas elements. This is a JavaScript/HTML5 app that reads VISION engine (Wing Commander: Prophecy/Secret Ops) MAT texture files, and displays them on HTML5 canvases.

How to use: Just select some MAT files using the file selector, and they will be loaded automatically, and displayed to you as they are being loaded. Once the load is complete, you can hover over each image rendered from the MAT file, and you can see which MAT corresponds to the image you are hovering over.

Known issues: External palettes are not supported yet.
