palette tile-set separator tool (and other stuff)

Post by psycopathicteen »

I always found it annoying that when working in Tile Molester or CHR-YY uploading a tile-set with more than one palette doesn't work, so I decided to make a quick tool, to convert a full color tile-set into a 16-color greyscale, image which can then be uploaded to either Tile Molester or CHR-YY.

All it needs is a 128x513 image file, with the top line being the color palette, 8 sets of 16 colors, and the rest of the image being a 16x64 tile-set of 8x8 tiles. I included a test image with 2 mushrooms as an example of how to arrange the image. In the future I might add the ability to output bin files.

I added the ability to make what I call a "block set" which is similar to a tile set, but using an 8-bit to 16-bit attribute look up table.
