Does anyone know if the ConvertPNG module is available outside of Select?
I need to display PNG's in the ADFFS GUI and converting to sprites has some advantages. |

This was a pain when I wrote MBBack too. I eventually managed to get the Iyonix supporting JPEGs as well as sprites by adding a load of custom code for SpriteExtend's JPEG API, but PNGs are a non-starter. |

(very tongue-in-cheek) so now, when you're bored with work on ADFFS, you can start on a clean-room, open-source implementation of the Select image rendering routines...
I do have a png->sprite command line convertor that you're welcome to use, but no source, since it was developed externally, I'm afraid. |

Use libpng? I seem to recall it's quite simple to drive to convert things to a Sprite-compatible stride and pixel ordering. |

Incidentally, if the ImageFileRender and ImageFileConvert modules were to go down in flames along with Select, I can't say I'd be entirely sorry. They are truly horrible to work with. The APIs would be unpleasant even if the modules weren't bugged beyond belief, prone to undocumented behaviours (some of which vary by version) and even incomplete in some areas. I've had many, many headaches and wasted afternoons trying to work out why sprites weren't coming out the size I told them to be rendered at and teasing out implementation quirks which only manifested with certain combinations of DPI and pixel extent.
Even if they weren't locked into a dead branch, I'd probably be recommending you used something else. |
