How to export .tex file to .png file?

[RageLeague]

Is there a way of exporting .tex file to .png file? .tex file in Griftlands doesn't work with any general purpose image editing tool like photoshop, so I want to export it to .png. I saw there's an in-game function for exporting textures(engine.inst:SaveTextureToPNG), but I didn't get it to work. Maybe because I put the wrong parameters? Moreover, this function works for exporting card images, but does not work for exporting portraits(if it worked, I have no idea where the exported portrait went). There is no way for me to debug this function's behavior, and there is no indication whether this function succeeded or not other than the fact that lua didn't crash, so I really don't know what this function does.

I recall there's a tool somewhere in the DST forums which I'm DEFINITELY too dumb to figure out how to use.

There is a tool, and I tried it. It didn't work for Griftlands.

That one file that is larger than the others caused a System.OutOfMemoryException, and the rest tells me it's the wrong format.

Have you tried this on Griftlands and did it work?

If you run the MainMenu:ExportPortraits() function, it goes through all the named agents in the game, instantiates their anim, positions them correctly, crops them and exports a PNG of their portrait to contentsrc\images\portraits (in the game's installation folder). That's how we generate updated portrait textures for each character. You can tweak that to be able to export other widgets.

I assume that the button under tools does the same thing?

My problem is that nothing is generated under my game installation folder, at least in the experimental version, even though I pressed "export portrait"

I looked into it, and there are a couple of things stopping the engine savetopng from working the way you're expecting. I'll wrap it in something that will make it useable and push it out in experimental tonight. 

(edit)

If you're keen, this is the code:

function UIHelpers.SaveTextureAsPNG(texture, filename)
    local w, h = texture:GetSize()
    local scene = engine.rendering.Scene()
    local capture = Widget.CaptureImage(scene):SetSize( w, h )
    local container = Widget()
    local anim = container:AddChild(Widget.Image(texture):SetSize(w,h))
    local root = engine.rendering.SceneGraphNode()
    root:SetScene(scene)
    root:AddChild(container.node)
    capture:RenderToScene( container, -w/2, -h/2, w/2, h/2 )
    engine.inst:SaveTextureToPNG( capture:GetTexture(), "SETTINGS:"..filename .. ".png" );
end
 

It saves stuff one directory up from where your save files usually go.
