dMZX Forums: png2smzx tweaks -> Archived Requests -> Tracker

Two things.

An option to not draw to char 32, since otherwise you end up with holes in the image if youth use sprites to display it.

Currently, the program requests that you name the mzm, charset, and palette individually. Can this be changed so that you simply just have to pass in one name like...

png2smzx in.png out -> out.mzm out.chr out.pal

It might be more intuitive if the "out" parameter was simply removed and the output files appeared as in.mzm, in.chr, in.pal.

I personally prefer naming the arguments explicitly, you get exactly what you want that way, but if you're willing to accept templating (as with "out") you can probably deal with the template being "in".

Implemented in GIT 3afc452. png2smzx now takes different command line options:

png2smzx Image Conversion Utility

Usage: ./png2smzx <in.png> [<out> | <out.mzm> [<out.chr>] [<out.pal>]] [options]

Options:
--skip-char=[value 0-255]        Skip this char in the conversion process.

Valid usages:

./png2smzx hello.png
./png2smzx hello.png my_image
./png2smzx hello.png my_image.mzm
./png2smzx hello.png my_image.mzm my_image_rox.chr my_image_sux.pal
./png2smzx hello.png my_image.mzm my_image_sux.pal my_image_rox.chr
./png2smzx hello.png --skip-char=32
etc...

This turned out to be pretty easy because smzxconv.c was already designed to be able to skip a single character, obviously with char 32 in mind.
