I've been using DD-Graph (age) and SPE5 to create sprites data (2 sprites layers /3 colors with OR-ing) but frankly, SPE5 is quiet a pain in the ... to work with and the .DB files created are sometime buggy.
Has anyone made a conversion program to create sprite data (Pattern and color tables) from a screen 5 picture ? I could write one but why bother if it already exists

well, maggoo.
SPEN is actually not that bad! If you understand how sprites work you should be fine.
I wrote a converter for the .DB files that can be created with spen. Converting them to another format which is much easier to handle

Nope, doesn't exist yet.
In our current project we're also in need of such an editor (for creating up sprites OR-layered up to 4 times and 48x48 size), but our time is currently very limited :/
So far it's being done by hand, but it's a VERY difficult task to manually reorganise the palette to support 4 OR-layered sprites and doing the data.
Please, write a program for it! |

Actually, Quintus has that functionality. It's a drawing tool for SCREEN5 with a maximum 4 seperate pictures simultaneously. These 4 pictures can be converted into 2 SCREEN7 pictures in interlace mode. But it also has an option to convert a piece of SCREEN5 to sprites. It still needs conversion to sourced defb lists though.
It can be downloaded from the MSX info pages and requires MemMan 2.3 or later. |
