 ==== RTPack source code ====
+RTPack is a general purpose utility that does several useful things from the command line.  The .exe version is used from .bat files in windows, and on linux .. well, it doesn't have an .exe and it used from shell scripts or something.
+What's it do?
+  * Converts most image formats to .rttex.  (.rttex is Proton's custom image format, it can do things like use png or jpg compression internally, remember the pre-tweaked widths/heights, stuff like that.
+  * Can create fonts
+  * Can compress any file (Proton will detect and decompress compressed files)
+  * Other bad ass stuff.  Or not, I can't remember
 It's located in tools/RTPack.

+First of you'll need to have a couple of dependencies installed and/or available.
 You need to get PVRTexLib from Imagination (it's a free download but requires registration). Extract the contents of the package under ''tools/RTPack'' preserving paths - you should get a subdirectory called ''PVRTexLib'' there.

 Next run the ''build.sh'' script in the ''tools/RTPack'' directory. You should get a binary called ''RTPack'' into a subdirectory called ''build''.
+If something got wrong, hopefully you got an error message that explains the situation. In any case, if you are stuck feel free to ask on the [[http://www.rtsoft.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?27-Proton-SDK-General-Discussion|forums]].
 The lazy alternative is to use wine RTPack.exe <cmd line options>.
