Genny gfx tools for PC?
Is there any gfx tools on PC to convert pictures to the Genny palette? I know that there is a tool that can convert from a 16 color image, but from 24 bit images?

I make palettes with my TGFedit 0.24 or with IrfanView 3.8, but draw everything with MS-Paint. Fonz is PSP6 freak, I'm Paint

I use Photoshop to make the images (making the image indexed for the colors I want, saving the palette as a file if I need to mix and match), then I use Kaneda's gfx tool (the old one with the dos window ) to convert the image. Then I just use notepad to move the colors around if needed. Pretty raw way of doing it but it works.

Not sure about C but as far as programming goes you can either load binary data or load data in memory. Here is a sample of palette and a tile using the palette, used in one of my demos.jobro wrote:Notepad? That means that you can edit the palette as pure text no? Care to post a snippet of how such palette looks as text?
Code: Select all
PaletteStars:
DATAINT $0EEE,$0EEE,$0CCC,$0AAA,$0888,$0666,$0444,$0222
DATAINT $0000,$0ECC,$0EAA,$0E88,$0866,$0844,$0822,$0800
Tile:
DATALONG $88848888
DATALONG $88838888
DATALONG $88525888
DATALONG $85212588
DATALONG $32111234
DATALONG $85212588
DATALONG $88525888
DATALONG $88838878
Total 512 colors possible (8R x 8G x 8B = 512).
The tile show the number of the entry in the palette, and each number is a dot. Easier than you though, huh? Once you understand those values it is easy to find them in a heximal editor of whatever you are editing. Notepad is also possible but since it only display chars you have to know where you're touching because you cannot write values below 32 (0x20 = blank space).
Questions?

I made a small program that rips out palette form BMP file and puts it into a file which you can INCLUDE in your ASM code...
