Image Conversion Help...

Post by White Eagle »

I have a CD of images I need to convert so I can use them in a game. Unfortunately, ALL of the images are in Multimedia Fusion's proprietary format.

Does anybody know of a converter or a way to convert these into BMP or PNG?

I can do that, but only as a last resort as I literally have thousands of images to convert.

I am trying to find a batch converter that will handle the format, but am not having any luck.

MMF images are usually in a LIB format, although I think the new version of MMF may introduce a new format, not positive as I am not a MMF user.

Awesome program, but doesn't support what I need. I am shocked that it also doesn't support the VGA or VGR formats.

Maybe if you gave some deep info about the format, we would be able to help you. Or some link, or something, Regards,

does your "Multimedia Fusion" have any export functions for any more useful format?

if not, it's necessary to have some information about this format,
how the header is constructed, "what does which byte mean" so to say.

like El_Choni said, please look, if you can provide more information...
oh... and have a nice day.

Thanks guys, for all help and suggestions.

Holiday kept me busy... I never really used MMF (artwork came from an old artwork CD I bought), and I found my MMF CD, installed it but unfortunately it doesn't have any export functions (didn't think it did).

However, somebody emailed me (thanks) and told me to try the new MMF2 demo. Has an exporter now, can only export a single frame of animation at a time, but can save as BMP or PNG, and it is a lot easier than having to print screen, paste into a paint program, crop the image and save. :D

Will take a while (thousands of images), but have 30 days trial time on the MMF2 demo to get everything done :wink:
