SebRmv Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 Hello, I am proud to announce that I have finally managed to compile a version of my Jaguar Image Converter for Windows XP and Linux which does not require additionnal packages or softwares to be installed You can find the binaries there: http://removers.atari.org/softs/download.php Enjoy ! Seb PS: for other binary release, please contact me... PPS: under windows, you do not need to install cygwin, you just need to have the file cygwin1.dll which is included in the package I have made 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerosquare Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 That will be very useful ! Thanks ! (I won't say anything about the binary being more than 1 Mb in size... I know it's not your fault ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's not your fault ) Yes, that's the price to pay when statically linking all the libraries you need... Seb PS: by the way, what about the documentation of the video registers ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerosquare Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 Yes, that's the price to pay when statically linking all the libraries you need...Just to make sure : I was aware of that ; it was a snide comment because of my dislike for software bloat, I don't doubt the usefulness of your program or your coding abilities And I'm convinced coders can use whatever software they're comfortable with as long as the job gets done PS: by the way, what about the documentation of the video registers ?I've replied here, in order not to hijack your topic.

SebRmv Posted May 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 Yes, I agree but those who own a PC running XP have a big harddisk By the way, just to add that if you have any question about how to use my converter, please ask Seb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TXG/MNX Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 Will you make a GUI version for Windows aswell ? Currently I use Paint shop Pro and Artwork or Adobe Photoshop elements with an convertor that converts the color table to clut. Your tool seems to be nice, but I like GUI tools better...

SebRmv Posted May 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 no, sorry, there won't be a gui version. I think it is easier to use as a command line tool, particularly if you mechanize the calls in a Makefile. By the way, the image formats usable are (should be) PNG, JPEG, TIFF, BMP, PPM and maybe GIF (not that TGA format is not supported in particular) Seb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthias Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Hello! Can this converter take a CLUT as input? This would be usefull to convert several pictures to 8bit (4bit, 2bit or 1bit) all sharing the same CLUT (in the same order). Best regards Matthias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can convert CLUT based image with it (it generates then two files: a file containing the CLUT and a file containing the MAP). So, if the test case you mentionned, it will generate several time the same CLUT file. (use -clut to generate 8 bits and in addition -opt-clut to generate the optimal depth (1 bit, 2 bits or 4 bits if possible) Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But let me try another trick: Could your tool convert a 16bit-CRY picture (with only up to 256 colours) to a 8bit BMP-file?

Regards Matthias no, my tool is not smart enough (at least for the moment) if you want to generate 8 bit bitmaps (or less), your source image should be clut based (so 8 bit or less) and second precision: my tool converts bmp, gif, jpg, whatever to cry or rgb file not the converse (this is a replacement for tga2cry thus) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stabylo Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 [english] well.. I wanted to ask... what does that CLUT means actually? I started this morning working back on this GUI starting from an old school exercice in VB6. It displays previews for JPG, GIF and BMP files (quite easy, the LoadPicture() function in VB performs nearly everything ) I think havin a preview of TGA files will be borring to do with VB (when you get out of standard tracks...) so I'll just start with a bare selector and a few buttons [french] Mettez-moi au parfum, ça veut dire quoi CLUT ? J'ai commencé tôt ce matin à reprendre un exercice en VB6 que j'avais fait à l'école... Ca faisait des preview d'images JPG, GIF et BMP (assez fastoche, la fonction LoadPicture() de VB fait ça toute seule ) Bon, je pense que la fonction de preview TGA va être chiante à faire en VB (dés qu'on sort des sentiers battus...) donc je vais d'abord me contenter d'un sélécteur et de quelques bouttons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerosquare Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 [english] well.. I wanted to ask... what does that CLUT means actually? CLUT : Color Look-Up Table (also known as "palette" ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stabylo Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 [English] Thanks Zerosquare! Will you make a GUI version for Windows aswell ? Your tool seems to be nice, but I like GUI tools better... Available soon! I've finished to code the Image Converter GUI in VB6. It is currently being beta tested by Seb. When validated, this will be available on the Removers' web site. [French] Merci Zerosquare! Will you make a GUI version for Windows aswell ? Your tool seems to be nice, but I like GUI tools better... Oui! Disponible très prochaînement! J'ai fini de coder l'interface utilisateur en VB6 pour le Jaguar Image Converter. Seb est en ce moment en train de la tester. Quand j'aurai son feu vert, ça ira en téléchargement sur le site des Removers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zerosquare Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Sorry SebRmv, here's a bug report There seems to be a problem with the dithering algorithm. Here's the original picture : Here's the result of tga2cry with options -binary -dither -f cry : And here's the result of converter with options -cry --binary --no-clut --16-bits --normal --both : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
