this is a rewrite of my 2mas utility.
it doesn't require allegro, unlike the old version, and thus is 88% smaller.
it has hss and mas output options, as before. (the version currently on the OHRRPGCE website doesn't have hss output).
creating an hss file is much simpler to do, as simple as it is to make a .mas file.
as soon as someone creates an .exe of this, i can send the updated package to james for the ohr website.

EDIT: updated to split the script into 3 parts.

EDIT: De-inlined, and uploaded here

You sure the old one didn't output .hss files? I've used 2MAS before (a long time ago) to make .hss files, although I know the readme for the program did not document this feature (I found something about it somewhere...maybe on Monthly).

Anyway, nice job Neo.

Edit: Nevermind, one should have read Machu's thread before posting this. Wink

As usual, I'll compile and post it here/email it to James.

Oh well. Neato

I've found that the size of the scripts created by 2MAS far exceeds the size of the script code buffer. From the FAQ, 4098 bytes is the size of the code buffer, and right now I converted a palette to HSS and compiled, and found that the HSX file was 11,779 bytes in size.

You have to split the script it generates into several scripts in order for it to run without a buffer overflow. I learned this one the hard way. :\

i'll try modifying it to chain up 3 scripts.
however, something must have changed, because i recall testing it and getting the entire palette to change. maybe i split it up manually then.

i've added the splitting of the script into 3.

fyrewulff, such executables will be a lot better with the updated readme; in future, could you either send the exes to me so i can do the packaging, or get me to send the readme/palette to you so you can do the packaging?

Well, the intention was that I was linking them so you could download, repackage, and then send to James the "final" version. But in the future, I'll just PM you links to compiled EXEs.
