• The Upgrading from WCv2.5++ to WCv3.0 is being provided in 'stages' to make it as easy as possible for our existing users to get to grips with any new changes to the various areas of our software. These Upgrades are FREE to all existing WCv2.5++ users and ONLY available from the Inet Support Forums WCv2.5 Resources Forum. Note: Each New Upgrade includes ALL previous Upgrades.
• Upgrade Info:
• As from Windows 8 Pro Edition the Windows OS no longer supports their original HLP format of help files even if you have the winhlp32.exe application installed on your OS.
• We have converted the WCV2.5HELP.HLP file to the newer WCv2.5_Help.CHM format. The newer CHM help file format is backward compatible from Windows 8 back to Windows 98.
• You can access the WCv2.5_Help.chm integrated inside the WCv2.5++ software by either clicking on the Main Help menu or the 'Book' help icon in the Main Toolbar. Also we have included direct links from the integrated WCv2.5_Help.chm file to our Inet Support Forums (WC2.5 Registered Users Group only) for easy access to additional Free Resources, Help, Tutorials and more... You can also view the WCv2.5_Help.chm outside of the WCv2.5++ software by double clicking on the WCv2.5_Help.chm in the World Creator v2.5 directory.
• As we upgrade and modify the features in the WCv2.5++ software we will also be providing downloads of the most up to date and on going WCv2.5_Help.chm file.

• Upgrade Info:
• This Upgrade 4 concentrates on the Resize / Stretching methods and the Frame Animation in the Resize Window. Resizing Textures: When you select the 'Size' button in any of the 6 Texture Windows you now have the choice of 6 resizing methods from a drop down box. Including: Pixel Resize, BoxFilter Resize, BiLinear Resize, BSpline Resize, Catmull Resize, Lancos Resize. This gives more flexibility and smoother results when Up or Down sizing your Textures.
• There is also a Crop> Top Left feature which allows you to 'crop' any texture from the Top Left to the desired size instead of resizing.
• Another extremely useful feature is the Auto Detect BLUE / GREEN / RED button when Resizing and setting the Offsets for any of the 3 Overlay Texture Windows. This automates the Resizing / Offsets of any Overlay Texture to 'fit' with a specific detected Mask colour, which makes creating Doors, Windows etc. very easy.
• Resize, Offset and Frame Animation Options: Updated to make it easy to resize ALL Textures in one pass with various options, and setup the Overlay Offsets. Also updated are the Frame Animation options which is very simple to use, enabling the user to create simple animations. This is particularly useful for creating 'Moving' objects Left, Right, Up, Down, Diagonal directions such as Doors, Windows etc.

• Upgrade Info:
• This Upgrade 3 concentrates on the Batch File Converter features. You can now apply a choice of 40 Effects when converting your Images including 10 Rotations Effects , 10 Colour Effects, 20 General Effects. There is also a choice of 8 different Resizing / Rescaling Methods including, Pixel, Resample, BiLinear, BiCubic, BSpline, Catmull, Lanczos, Crop Top Left. The Crop Top Left enables you to crop an Image from the Top Left corner 0, 0 to your desired Width Height. You can Resize using the Width or Height input boxes or Resize by Percentage 25% to 200% of the file size currently being converted. Using the Test Conversion Settings button you can preview how the converted image will appear. Using the Start Batch Conversion button the Selected files will be Fast Batched in just a few seconds.
• So you can convert from one image format to another, and at the same time apply an Effect, and Resize / Rescale / Crop, and Rename the file/s being converted all in 1 pass. This is extremely useful and ultimately a very powerful arrangement of features.

• Upgrade Info:
• This Upgrade 2 concentrates on the Library Editor which can now address up to 16 individual multi folder libraries. We have replaced the Tabs with Drop down Combo boxes to select which Library and which Library Folder you wish to view.
• The Texture and Mask Browser windows remains open when you launch the Library Editor window. The 16 Libraries correspond to the Libraries / Paths set in the Texture / Masks Browser and can be easily updated with new paths.
• You can Delete, Copy, Move, Rename your Files and Folders or create completely New Libraries.
• The Library Wizard is useful for creating a completely New Library with up to 16 Sub Folders.

• Upgrade Info:
• This Upgrade 1 concentrates on the Texture Mask Browser which can now address up to 16 individual Multi Folder Texture Libraries / Addon Packs. We have replaced the Tabs with Drop down Combo boxes to select which Library and which Library Folder or Mask Library Folder you wish to view. The Library Paths are easy to set by selecting one of the 16 Lib Option Buttons along with the the Directory box. The 16 Library Paths are saved to the WC.ini file ready for when you launch the software again.
