I wanted you to look at my texture list file for my tokyo project. 
Do you know how I could save time adding my 6000 lines of material addresses? .
map doesn't have a file like an MTL for OBJ.
 So I used a coordinate list to create my own MTL file, it's not a big deal.
 I'll manage. I don't want to cozy and paste 6000 lines manually, it's demoralizing. 
I hope to know if you have a trick to fill them in automatically.

I've already started filling in a few lines (in the untitled.mtl file), 
but the most frustrating part is the multiple textures with different material names,
which are completely absurd in my opinion. So I'm wondering if you might have an idea or a tool to help me move forward.

Thanks.

Hi, sounds like basic coding (though taking into account all the details will eat some time).

(Doesn't work for such lines: m_2_0: material 0_0 material 0_1 material 1_0.)

Handling one line in Tokyo_night_materials.txt. (Required file handling not implemented.)

//#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
#include  <stdio.h>
//#include <stdlib.h>

//using namespace std;

void create_names(void) {
    char tmp[255], name[255];
    BYTE cnt=0;
    int len, l=0;

    strcpy(tmp, "m_11_0: tex 2E81_65 tex 2E81_66 tex 2E81_67 tex 2E81_68 tex 2E81_67 tex 2E81_68 tex 2E81_67 tex 2E81_68 tex 2E81_69 tex 2E81_68");
    len= strlen(tmp);
    do {

        while (tmp[l]!= 't') l++;
        l += 4;                       // skip "tex "
        cnt= 0;
        while (tmp[l]!= ' ') { name[cnt]=tmp[l]; cnt++; l++; }
        name[cnt]=0;                // zero termination of string
        strcat(name, ".png");
        printf("%s\n", name);
    } while (l<len);
}

int main()
{
    //cout << "Hello world!" << endl;
    create_names();
    printf("waiting for key pressed... ");
    getchar();
    return 0;
}

Output:

Last line is a bug - you'll need to debug the code.

(For private use I ignored the fact, that strcpy and strcat are known as being unsafe.)

Hi, sorry, I don't know how to code. Yes, lines without material will be deleted. But how can I automatically fill in the missing lines to configure my MTL? Here's what I've already started, and some more representative examples of my problem, which I have to do manually on 6000 lines. This situation is complex, I admit.

Your code looks really good, even though I don't know anything about it, and I thank you for it, my friend.

To learn basic coding takes around a month but it will enhance your projects imaginably...

Anyways, I processed a reduced Tokyo_night_materials.txt, the result:

What's map_d?

And the newmtl lines seem to be wrong.

I plan to switch to Basic++ as soon as possible. The `newmtl` line is defined during the creation of the mesh object (obj). It's written in the header of all MTL files, and then `m0-0` is the name of the material attached to the object. So there's no error.

 

I tested the lines, everything works

Good idea. That's how I started, too. (But it didn't have ++ in its name.)

You might want to test this app:

Oh, but by God, who is the best in everything! You are certainly a heavyweight champion, across all categories. You have just freed me from a huge worry. I am grateful, thank you, thank you!
