Next Graphics Version 2

Having written and tested my original next graphics tool, I found it was lacking a few features and contained some bugs that needed fixing, so rather than continuing with the development of the command line option I decided to write a whole new version using .net.

Presenting Version 2

Main application UI

What does it do? it will take most image formats and cuts them up into sprites/tiles for use in code with Spectrum Next games programming, It will allow you select images from sequences outputted from other tools, it will allow you to extract the palettes from images, edit those palettes, and then save them for later use.

During the processing of your images, it it will remap the images to the closest colours in your palette, remapping multiple images to a single palette if required. Also it will check for repeated, mirrored (both X and Y) and rotated sprites or tiles.

The output format of the tool is can be 4-bit or 8-bit sprites or 4-bit tiles, which are exported to either Assembly include file, a basic include file or a combination of a Assembly include file and a binary data file.

Instructions

I have tried to keep it simple to use while making it versatile and feature packed.

Projects

I have made the project files in XML format, so they can be humanly readable, yet they store all the your project settings so that you can simply continue where you left off over multiple sessions.

New Project

The new project button allows you to set the project name, this name is important as it forms the basis of your labels in the exported assembly / basic files, therefore I suggest you keep the name short but meaningful.

New project panel

You can rename the project at any time by double clicking the project name in the project panel.

I have yet to implement a complete reset of the application as its just as simple to close it and open it again.

Open project

Opening a project from your computer

Save project

Save your project on your computer

Add images to your project

Clicking this button will allow you to add multiple images to your project, currently the application supports BMP, DIB, RLE, JPG, JPEG, JPE, JFIF, GIF, TIFF and PNG files, with the following formats.

8-bits per pixel Indexed colour images
32-bits per pixel R G B images
32-bits per pixel A R G B (8-8-8-8)
24-bits per pixel R G B (8-8-8)
16-bits per pixel R G B (5-6-5)
16-bits per pixel A R G B (1-5-5-5)
16-bits per pixel R G B (5-5-5)

You can add images to your project at any time, however to update the image in memory you will need to remove the image first using the remove image button on the project window. Simply highlight the image you wish to remove and click the button.

Also you can reorganise the order of your images, as you may want to organize your animations or tile sets different to how they are loaded, again you simply highlight the image you wish to reposition and click the up or down buttons.

Now to the meat and gravy of the application

The palette

The palette window is one of the main features of the application, as it allows you to remap you graphics to different pallets and allows you to create and edit the palettes before you map them.

So let’s have a look at the palette panel.

As you can see there are quite a few options available to you, so i will go through them one by one.

Colour mapping

You can select to have your graphics mapped to the standard Spectrum Next colour palette of 256 colours or 512 colours, this is nice, but it will mean that your sprites and characters would take up more space than necessary so its best to use the custom palette for games.

Custom pallets

The main feature is the custom pallet, using the palette tool you can import the palette from an image (first 256 on non palletised images), or you can import the colours from a Windows (Photoshop) .ACT file or a Apple .8BCT file. The palette import tool allows you to extract all or some of the colours and place them in any position in your 256 colour custom palette.

From is the index to start the import from, Count is how many colours to import, and Where to is the index in your custom palette you want to start the import at.

You can import as many colours as you like, you could even download some art from the internet and extract the palette to any location in your custom palette and then remap all your graphics to that palette if you want.

Other features of the palette tool allow you to save the palette in Windows (Photoshop) .ACT file or Apple .8BCT file formats.

You can also set the transparency index of your artwork by picking the colour in the palette, and or restrict the amount of colours you want your graphics to be mapped to.


If all that was not enough for you, you can also edit or define the colours by hand using the colour mixer, simply click any colour in the custom palette or import palettes and select the colour mixer from the pop up menu, choose a nice colour and add it to your custom palette.

From that popup menu in both the import and custom palettes you can also clear, copy and paste colours to arrange them exactly how you want them.

All that and we haven’t even got onto the output features yet :p

Output

The make button, cuts all the images in your image list into blocks/tiles or sprites, remapping them depending on the settings in the palette panel and output settings.

But before we get to the output I wish to discuss names, in the Spectrum next they call the character based screen a tile map which for me is fundamentally wrong, I understand why they may have done it but it does not gel in my mind.

Back in the day the Commodore 64 had a character based screen with each each character is 8×8 pixels, which was allowed game developers to remap the character set to game graphics, and use them for the background of games.

Does this sound familiar?

If you are making a large scolly game it becomes quite difficult to make a whole level just using 8×8 characters, placing them one character at a time. And with large 8×8 game level stored in memory, it would up loads of space, which is not good on a 8-bit machine. So along the way the developers at the time invented blocks which are groups of characters forming familiar objects which would be easy to map with and would take up much less space. So your map is made up of block references and you get the character indexes from inside the blocks.

Flexible

Which is why the blocks structure has been primarily implemented within Next Graphics, even though I have also allowed you completely ignore the blocks and map with the 8×8 characters instead if you wish. The tool will cut your art up into Sprites, which are simple 16×16 pixel blocks of graphical data and characters (Tiles) which are 8×8 pixel blocks of graphical data. It will save them as basic include file or an assembly file or even as raw binary data, with basic or assembly reference files.

Structure

When your art is drawn as a larger object both the sprites and the tiles produce a reference map (block) to how the object can be constructed in the game.

So for sprites it would be something like this (all byte values)

number of 16×16 sprites wide
number of 16×16 sprites tall

x offset from center of sprite
y offset from center of sprite
Palette offset with the X mirror,Y mirror, Rotate bits if set
4 bit colour bit and pattern offset bit if set
Index of the sprite at this position that makes up the frame

…… repeated wide * tall times

And for blocks / tiles

number of tiles (characters) tall
number of tiles (characters) wide

Palette offset with the X mirror,Y mirror, Rotate bits if set
index of the character at this position that makes up the block;

… repeated wide * tall times

So the output panel

Sprites vs Blockset

As mentioned previously you can choose between Sprite/Object or Tiles/blocks output, selecting sprites the output is 16×16 pixels, and blockset the output will be 8×8 pixels.

Width and Height

The width and height define the size in pixels of each object on your sprite sheet or block on your blockset.

Settings

I think the settings panel is mostly self explanatory however I will go through it one section at a time.

Ignore repeats of

By default the tool will remove repeated, mirrored, rotated or transparent graphics as space is limited and the hardware in the Spectrum Next has attributes that can be set to mirror and rotate.

However some games may need these retained therefore I have allowed you the option to keep them in the outputted data if you require them.

Output settings

Transparent first

This checkbox allows you to organise the output so that the characters/tiles with any transparent pixels are first in the tileset, this is mostly for something I am working on but you may find it useful.

4-Bit Sprites

Obviously the characters/blocks will be outputted in 4 bits per pixel format, however you have the option when producing sprites. Therefore when this checkbox is checked and you are creating sprites the output would be remapped using 4 bits per pixel output.

Binary+

The binary plus checkbox will change the Sprite and Tileset output into a binary file leaving just the mirror/rotation settings and frames in the source files.

Comments

The comments level dropdown allows you to remove the comments from the source file output as once you have coded up your engine using my data format you don’t need the comments anymore and depending on how many graphics you have in your game it may make it compile a little quicker.

Sprite Centre

As the name and layout of the panel suggests this allows you to add an offset to the base position of your sprite in the output file. For example a running walking character would probably have its base position at his feet where as a Spaceship would be better having its centre in the middle of the sprite. Anyhow the choice is yours depending on how you make your game.

Saving your output

Writing your output

Once you are happy with the output of your graphics it is time to chose your output file format where you have a choice of an Assembly or a Basic include file output by selecting the .asm or .bas file extension on the save file drop down.

Mapping tiles

Apart from the Assembly or Basic code files outputting a blockset/tileset, when checked it will also output a a bitmap that can be used for mapping with Mappy or Tiled.

Again quite self evident, with how many tiles to a row on the output bitmap, and the format of the bitmaps. BMP/PNG/JPG.

DEBUG

In these builds it opens a black window that is 2 x zoom of the output for my debugging purposes which may make its way into the app.

Reverse

In the latest versions below I have implemented a tool for turning the exported characters/tiles back into a blocks bitmap

why I hear you shout?

Well its so I can add details to the character set after they have been reduced and checked for mirrors or rotations, then when I turn them back into blocks for mapping all the repeats and mirrors etc, will have all the details.

Like here I made all the blocks and then processed them, then added all the noise using the dithered layer in photoshop, by doing it to the tile set after they have been processed, I don’t end up will a million different tiles with loads of different noise!

Where to Get it?

The windows source code is available on Git here, It will compile under window using Visual Studio .net and probably under mono for linux or OSX. To be fair your best bet is to clone the git project and build it on windows that way you will get all the updates! However I have compiled an windows version which again will run under mono for linux and I believe it will run under mono on OSX but it needs to be signed (please let me know if it does or doesn’t)

Windows/Linux 64-bit version 2.0.2.0 (unsigned)

Windows/Linux/Osx 32-bit version 2.0.2.0 (unsigned)

Typical Output from the Tool

The assembly file will look like this
