[BUG] Non-h3 textures crash RPKG about rpkg-tool HOT 3 CLOSED

Hey,
Thanks for the bug report. Currently the tool really only has support properly for Hitman 3 textures (And it's missing support for one or two of the texture types still). We do want to get texture support for Hitman 1 and 2 at some point but we do want to rewrite the entire tool due to the code being a mess so we will probably add support for the older games when we are doing that.

your welcome,

I was not aware of the version limitations and I am glad to hear of the plans to update it to support the first two games texture wise.
I still think that having the app crash after consuming so much memory that even my mouse freezes for 2 minutes is something that should be avoided but that's just my opinion of course.
Thank you for your quick reply. I am liking your tool more and more.

A workaround has been implemented with b2b44f1, it will be in the next release. You can download the nightly version here.

This workaround is that the texture will only load when you click on the Image Viewer tab (it will still crash for any textures that aren't from Hitman 3). We are aware that other textures will crash the tool but there is nothing we can do as there is no viable way to detect the version of the game the textures come from. The next major release should solve this.
