This tool can be used to generate Mission Supernova 2 datafiles containing images
and might be able to do the same even for Mission Supernova 1.
The tool is not foolproof and a lot of checks are missing (since it's just a tool),
so it could easily generate nonsense without any warning if for example command line
arguments aren't as expected.
To use this tool create a folder named as the number of the datafile you want to
create, it should be 3 characters long, add required numbers of zeros to the begining
of the name (015 for ms2_data.015).
Inside this folder should be:
--clickfield_info, this contains info about clickfields. On the first row should be a
number saying how many clickfields there are and on the following rows are
descripitons of individual clickfields in this order (x1, x2, y1, y2, next),
for example:
2
123
134
49
63
0
135
146
49
63
0
This would be the contents of a file describing 2 clickfields.
--section_info similar to the clickfield_info. Contains info about sections. On the
first row should be a number saying how many sections there are and on the following
rows are descripitons of individual sections in this order
(x1, x2, y1, y2, next, addressLow, addressHigh), for example:
2
0
319
0
137
0
0
0
123
134
49
62
0
44160
0
This would be the contents of a file describing 2 sections
--palette Contains info about palette. On the first row should be a number saying
how many colors there are and on the following rows are the individual RGB values of
colors (don't forget, that the engine shifts each color by 2 places to the left
(brightening the image), so the palette basicaly has to be shifted by 2 to the right
to get the right colors). For example:
3
50 50 50
0 0 0
28 25 20
This would be the contents of a file containing palette with 3 colors.
--image#.bmp For each section, there has to be image#.bmp, replace the '#' by the
number of section this image belongs to. The image has to use indexes to the palette
for storing the color of each pixel (Image -> Mode -> Indexed... in gimp).
Running the tool
The tool needs 3 comand line arguments when running it:
-- Prefix of the file to be created (use "ms2_data" to create "ms2_data.###")
-- Number of the file to be created and also the number of a folder to read all the
files from (use "15" to create prefix.015)
-- Number of bytes to skip in each .bmp file. At the begining of each .bmp file is
a header with information about the file and after that is stored the palette. This
tool doesn't need these, so this number says how many bytes to skip to get to the pixel
data. For example: use 1146 to generate ms2_data.015 from the files included.
Be aware, this tool does only basic checks of comandline arguments and no checks of
the input files (only their presence).
