Various helper scrips to convert graphics.
All scripts can be build with the supplied Makefile via a single make.
Some conversion scripts automatically reduce the number of colors in the image; for some scripts a parameter THESHOLD may additionally specify when to colors
are to be treated as equal (if |red(c1)-red(c2)| + |green(c1)-green(c2)| + |blue(c1)-blue(c2)| < THRESHOLD).
All optional arguments before the first argument explicitly given must be specified as well.
Converts a 128 by 32 pixel png file to an indexed raw image with 16 colors. (Used for location name backgrounds when entering a new location)
Usage: 128x32 PNG [THRESHOLD = 10]
Converts 6 ore more palettes as exported from AdvanceMap into a single p2l palette file for neo.
Usage: ampal2p2l pal1 pal2 pal3 pal4 pal5 pal6 [...] output.p2l
Merges two .csv files, optionally dropping columns. Which columns to select is specified by a string consisting of
one the characters 1, 2, b, r, x; where the i-th character describes
1: use the i-th column from the first file, discard the i-th column from the second file2: use the i-th column from the second file, discard the i-th column from the first fileb: use first the i-th column from the first file, then the i-th column from the second filer: use first the i-th column from the second file, then the i-th column from the first filex: discard both the i-th column of the first file and the i-th column of the second file
Usage: csvjoin file1.csv file2.csv mergestring
As csvjoin, but using a semicolon (;) as a seperator.
Crops a 40 by 30 pixel png file to a 32 by 32 png file; producing a file with the name icon###.png if the name of the original file was
found in the specified name table. (Used to convert gen6-pkmn icons named with the pkmn's name to gen5-style pkmn icons with easier usable names.)
Usage: normalizepkmnicon NAMETABLE_PATH in.png [SOURCE_HEIGHT = 30] [SOURCE_WIDTH = 40] [TARGET_HEIGHT = 32] [TARGET_WIDTH = 32]
(NAMETABLE_PATH is a path to a csv file containing in line i the i+1st-name.)
Converts a 64x128 png icon to a rsd file (a raw format for multi-frame sprites: first palette, then sprite data (tiled))
Arguments: icon###[.*].png, where ### is the id of the corresponding pkmn
Outputs the file into folder (###)/30 (padded with zeros to a 2 character name) (Downscales 128x256 icons to two 32x32 icons by combining 4 pixels into one using majority)
The sprite may not contain more than 16 colors. The program automatically combines similar colors and will do so very aggressively to enforce this color limit.
Usage: pkmnicon2rsd icon###[.*].png [HEIGHT = 64] [WIDTH = 64] [NUMFRAMES = 1] [THRESHOLD = 10]
Converts a 96 by 96 pixel (or 192 by 192 pixel) sprite to the raw representation used by neo.
Arguments: ###[.*].png, where ### is the id of the corresponding pkmn
Outputs the file into folder (###)/30 (padded with zeros to a 2 character name) (Downscales 128x256 icons to two 32x32 icons by combining 4 pixels into one using majority)
The sprite may not contain more than 16 colors. The program automatically combines similar colors and will do so very aggressively to enforce this color limit.
Usage: pkmnsprite2raw ###[.*].png [NUMFRAMES = 1] [THRESHOLD = 10]
Converts a 128 by 64 pixel png file to an indexed raw image with 16 colors. (Used for platforms during a battle)
Usage: plat2raw PNG [THRESHOLD = 10]
Converts a 256x192 png file to an indexed, raw representation used for neo (does not tile the image). Allows in any case not more that 256 colors.
Usage: `png2raw input.png [FIRST_PALETTE_IDX = 1] [MAX_COLORS = 235] [THRESHOLD = 5]
Converts a *.raw (non-tiled) file to a *.png file.
Tries to guess the dimensions of the original png if they're not given (out of 256x192, 64x64, 32x64, 32x32, 16x(#img length / 4))
Usage: `raw2png input.raw TILE_CNT COLOR_CNT [WIDTH] [HEIGHT = 4 * TILE_CNT / WIDTH]
Reads a *.rsd tiled sprite and prints it to the console.
Usage: raw2sprite input.rsd
Converts a sprite to a rsd file
Outputs the file into folder (###)/30 (padded with zeros to a 2 character name) if ### exists; otherwise outputs to working dir
The sprite may not contain more than 16 colors. The program automatically combines similar colors and will do so very aggressively to enforce this color limit.
Usage: sprite2raw [icon###(where ### is the id of the corresponding sprite)][.*].png [HEIGHT = 32] [WIDTH = 32] [NUM_FRAMES = 1 (if > 0, generates *rsd, ow generates *raw) [THERSHOLD = 10] [TRANSPARENT_COLOR = (color at (0,0)] [COLOR1] [COLOR2] ...
