 |
|
what is the quickest, simplest way to move graphics (walkabouts, heros, attacks, and villains, specifically) from a previous project to a new one?
is there an export function? can i unlump both .rpg files and move specific files from one to the other?
thanks,

If you don't mind destroying the graphics in the destination game, yes, you can copy lumps. First add empty graphic sets to the destination game until you have the same number as the source game.
Then unlump both games and copy over .pt1 .pt2 .pt3 .pt4 .pt5 .pt6 and .pal
However, if you need to merge graphics from one game into existing graphics from a second game, there is no easy way.
In the future we plan to add an import/export feature that works on full sprite sets, but it won't happen until after the next stable release. |

Check the utility in my signature page, it lets you import graphics from one game to another. It doesn't import palette though, so you will have to manually adjust the palettes.

That reminds me. I was talking with Fenrir Lunaris not long ago about graphics exporting, and he said something about OHRgfx not working with the latest nightlies. I can't think of any changes to the graphics format that would be likely to break compatibility, but have you tested it with the latest nightlies? |

I just tested it and it works fine. I don't know why it doesn't work for him, perhaps he is using pre-import version of ohrgfx. But either way I won't be able to fix the problem since I lost the source code.

You could copy over defpal#.bin too, couldn't you? (WIP builds only) The new game won't have sprite usage data to build defaults.
Hmm, when you import between RPG files, does ohrgfx actually consider the palettes of backdrops and tilesets in any way, or will it safely not remap all blacks to colour 0? I can't remember, I think it does repalettize.

Ohrgfx doesn't repalette anything. All it does when it imports is copies part of the lump file to another rpg's lump file(provided that the importation is done between two rpg files).
