I guess the same with MTE could be as well compressed than huffmann (but the decoding table would be larger) and is much, much easyer to use. How exactly is MTE easier to use? As long as you have automated tools to encode and decode data, there really isn't any difference as far as actual usage. Th...

What kind of a compression rate have you managed to squeeze out with huffman as opposed to say dictionary encoding or dual/multi tile encoding? I've only tried it on Final Fantasy 1. Original (DTE): 13,284 bytes Huffman: 10,638 bytes I haven't taken the size of the DTE table itself into account (an...

The dos version of the thing looks like to don't work. huffpuff < README > test.asm works here (standing in the folder where you uncompressed it). The program reads input from stdin and writes output to stdout, which is why you have to use < > to redirect the streams from/to file. You could just st...

I uploaded it here. You'll also need the file huffman.asm from the source archive (see top of this post) to actually decode the text; it's all very hastily described in the README.

You could try starting with the source code for 8Name, an NSA clone I wrote when I couldn't get NSA to work reliably on Windows 2000. Have you seen my latest graphics editor, Tile Molester ? I want to create a nametable editor with the same standard, modern software functionality: cut/copy/paste/mo...
