Using the Tileset Converter
- Open the resized tileset and save it as raw image data with 8-bit, interleaved channels in R-G-B
order. If you are using Photoshop, you can just open the tileset and save it as a .raw file with
interleaved channels.
- To convert the tileset to the necessary format, you must download and run this Java program:
Binary, Source. It requires Java 1.5
(Download Here). Run this program and enter the path to the
.raw file, the dimensions of the tiles, and the dimensions of the whole tileset. The output will be saved to the
same directory as the input with a .bin extension. (Be careful: if you run it on [filename].raw, [filename].bin will
be overwritten!)
- The .bin file can now be used the same way as a .bmp but it will be loaded directly into VRAM instead of being
processed first.
