POG Editor

.POG Texture Editor

Used to add and edit custom textures in Descent 2 levels. The textures will be stored in a .POG file. The editor can be accessed by pressing "edit..." in the texture tool or from "File > Edit Textures (POG)...".

Text	Description
Texture list	Shows the list of textures; the exact list shown can be customized by using the filters. See the table below for more info.
Filters: Level textures	Whether to show level textures (textures that can be applied to sides).
Filters: Powerups	Whether to show textures for powerup sprites. Currently will only show custom powerup textures.
Filters: Robots	Whether to show textures for robot models. Currently will only show custom robot textures.
Filters: Miscellaneous	Whether to show other miscellaneous textures. Currently will only show custom textures.
Filters: Show custom textures only	Whether to only show custom textures (on by default) or all textures that can be edited.
Palette	The palette to use for the current level. Descent 1 only has one palette option, while Descent 2 has six. This will accordingly adjust the D2 PIG path in the settings, but acts as an easier way to do so.
Transparent, See-thru	Shows whether the texture has transparency or see-through transparency.
Edit...	Opens the currently selected texture in a texture editor.
Revert	Removes the current custom texture and reverts it back to default.
Import...	Imports a new custom texture. It should ideally be a 256-color bitmap image, with "transparent" being color 254 and "see-thru" being color 255. When the texture is imported, you will have the option to enable transparency or disable it.
Export...	Exports the currently selected texture into a 256-color bitmap image.
Done	Saves the changes.
Cancel	Discards the changes.
