Looks very good & powerful! (even if I don't have further use for this Wizzard yet...)

Thank you for your continuous effort around GFX packages for PB

[walbus]

Hello Andre
Thank you very much
I think you can still use the tool well
Use this tool to optimize the color of your images for output

You go like this:
Load an image into the tool
Set the Partition x slider to 50%.
Set the partition y slider to 0

If you now change the colors or brightness of the image, it will be displayed in two parts
On the left side the original, on the right side the changes
This is very cool
With the buttons "Default" and "Partition" you can toggle between the pages
Everything goes on demand

You can save a colored image, or you can write down the changed color values.

You can then simply enter these color values in the Image Coloring functions of BF and get the exact same result.

This greatly simplifies the creation of color changed or optimized images in your application.

Regards Werner

It is now also possible to import CSS sheets not created with BF or the BF sprite tool,
or sheets which do not provide frame data
Just use a sheet info file created by BF Sprite tool and enter the data of the sheet to be imported there.
Adjust the filename and you're done.
Then load this info file instead of the sheet
The sheet is then loaded automatically and the frame data of the info file is used.
After saving with the BF Sprite Tool the info file is no longer necessary.
The BF Sprite tool enters the data directly into the sheet.
Additionally, a sheet info file is still created when saving a sheet

Great tool as usual walbus. Question: Do you EVER sleep???

[walbus]

Hi OldSkoolGamer
Yeah, the problem is, if it doesn't work the way it's supposed to, it won't keep me in bed,
When I start coding something, I have no peace until it's perfect, or it can't be improved.

Fix on BF for fast sprite output on Mac d02 m02 y2018

The Sprite Mode of the Sprite Tool didn't work on Macs, which I only noticed now.

Function for import BF sprite sheets as simple image or as sheet with all frame data added

Hint : The tool can search automatically sprite sheet frame data in a separately sheet info file and inside the sheet self

Otherwise the Sprite Tool is now finished

I don't think any other functions are necessary
If PB once supports GIF saving, I will add a GIF export function, i think...
But this is absolutely not important, the BF sprite sheets have a many better handling as Gif

Due to compatibility problems with PB I don't want to use my own GIF import and export functions
As it is now, the Sprite Tool's GIF features are one hundred percent compatible with PB

Code updated and enhanced d10 m04 y2018

The BF sprite tool can now handle PNG with invisible color and alpha blending

The tool can not only read but also write this format
Sprite sheets can be created and imported with this tool
The same applies to sprites

As a special feature, the tool can convert masked sheets and sprites to PNG with invisible color

This new feature is quite amazing

They can also be freely scaled and colored, also color distance is available and clipping
BF contains functions that make these sheets extremely easy to use

See the demo code in the BF download package, named :
"SheetMaster_BF_Using_CSS_Alpha_Sheet_BF.pb"

[walbus]

I have uploaded another new version
With the new function to create PNG sheets with invisible color,
the missing GIF store functionality of PB can be completely replaced
The output function for the frames is very powerful, it is much better than handling and outputting GIF frames
Here is the header of the output function for the frames

Code: Select all

Declare Sprite_CSS_sheet_grab_frame_BF(texture_ID,
                                         frames,                ; Numbers of frames
                                         frame,                 ; Selected frame - For GIF compatibility the first frame is 0
                                         frame_width,           ; Frame width
                                         frame_height,          ; Frame height
                                         frames_in_a_row=0,     ; Frames in a row - Preset 0, then BF calculate self
                                         output_width=0,        ; Resizing - Define the output width - Preset zero = without resizing 
                                         output_height=0,       ; Resizing - Define the output height
                                         texture_clip_x=0,      ; Startposition inside the texture - Preset 0
                                         texture_clip_y=0,      ; Startposition inside the texture - Preset 0
                                         texture_clip_width=0,  ; Endposition inside the texture - Preset 0 = full texture width
                                         texture_clip_height=0) ; Endposition inside the texture - Preset 0 = full texture height

The necessary frame data for this function can be read out automatically from each BF sheet

Code: Select all

GetFrameData_fromSheet_BF(path_1$) ; Get all frame date from the sheet and use the BF frame variables
Define frame_width=GetGIFandCSS_Frame_width_BF() ; Frame width
Define frame_height=GetGIFandCSS_Frame_height_BF() ; Frame height
Define frames=GetGIFandCSS_Frames_BF() ; Count frames in the sheet

After reading the frame data the delays are also available
The complete delay handling is then only a single line of code

Code: Select all

If delay : delay=0 : frame+1 : EndIf : If frame=>frames : frame=0 : Else : delay+Delay_BF(1, GetGIFandCSS_delay_array_BF(frame)) : EndIf

Another BF function can automatically save all frame data in any string

And of course also read out again
It's all automatic

Thus, the frame data for any number of different sheets can be easily managed as strings

[Kuron]

In all likelihood, I will never be able to use PureBasic again. However, your contributions with your two graphics libraries are the most comprehensive and impressive libraries I have seen created for PB. You have an amazing talent and dedication. Never think you are not a valued member of the community.

[walbus]

Thank you for your kind words Kuron.

I wish you all the best for the future.

Best regards Werner
