Hi,

I've been spending some time on a rewrite of BMP2Tile in C# at https://github.com/maxim-zhao/bmp2tile/tree/c-sharp . This is mostly for my own sanity.

Changes include:
- Now has a true commandline app plus a GUI that uses it to do the work
- Compatible with existing compressor DLLs
- Commandline mode uses the same switches but they now operate sequentially. This is useful but may catch you out if you specify settings after the destination filename they affect.

All feedback is welcome.

Well the GUI version feels like I'm not fighting with it as much as I use to with the old one! I like the warnings instead of instant crashes when I plug in a file with odd dimensions. Seems to also love Windows 10 (though windows 10 doesnt love it (thinks its a virus)).
Quick question that may be a bit out there, feel free to ignore it.
Do you ever plan on adding meta tile features into it?

No plans for meta tiles, I think you need a real tile layout editor for that because you need to add "layers" of other metadata to the metatiles - and it's also your level design too. I have an unfinished project to make a level editor for Micro Machines which has the beginnings of that - a hierarchy of tiles, metatiles and then level layout. You can't do that by starting with a level image.

no luck on wine - it crashes the moment I open an image. I don't know if it's something you can fix, in case here's the full error printed to console:

@IllusionOfMana: as for meta-tiles, you can create a plugin that exports meta-tilemaps from Tiled tilesets PNGs, for instance, and couple that with a Tiled map exporter to have meta-tile support.

Well, Wine support is not often a goal for me but nice to have. It seems they have not implemented some part of GDI+ - my guess is they didn't implement the part where it can automatically extend a 4bpp image to 8bpp. I can work around that by making my own conversion.

I don't think it's that, it crashes with a 8bpp color and with a 24bpp color image too :|

Hmm, well the exception is saying it can't convert from PixelFormat4bppIndexed = 0x30402 to PixelFormat8bppIndexed = 0x30803. I've written my own converter so I shouldn't be asking GDI+ to do that any more - can you try the attached version?

Also, now auto-building at https://ci.appveyor.com/project/maxim-zhao/bmp2tile/build/artifacts

Works perfectly with a 16 colors PNG!

Still crashes with paletted images with more colors (in the palette, even unused):

System.Exception: Image uses colours up to index 63 - this must be no more than 15. There are 16 palette entries used.

Those are intentional exceptions, not crashes (except insofar as they are errors with a stack trace and then the program exits). I did not try to make them look pretty.

In Windows they show up as message boxes with the stack hidden away and then an option to continue. I can go sprinkle in some catches...

Yeah I'm aware of the method(its actually incredibly smart), Psidum's UGT does it but I was more or less hoping for something more customizable I guess.

@Maxim: on Wine you can't tell if it has crashed or not, it just closes with no message whatsoever.

@IllusionOfMana: what can be more customizable than plug-ins/exporters you code yourself? ;)

You are correct, I'm just being lazy about it. I should start building an SMS compatible map editor plugin! Something that'll output for the SMS and MegaDrive... we'll see... If I do, I'll make a thread about it.

Even if it greatly depends on what you want to do, Tiled can be enough for your needs. You can create Python exporters easily.

I use Tiled a lot for my PC work and have even built tools around it to help bridge the gaps between it and the engine Ive composed.

New version with internal exception handling, hopefully making it clearer what's a "normal" error:

https://ci.appveyor.com/project/maxim-zhao/bmp2tile/builds/25630853/artifacts

Part of the goal of the rewrite was to make it a proper commandline program, as these days I pretty much always use it as part of an assets conversion batch - which I'd expect a Linuxer to prefer anyway :)

I'm not converting the assets as a part of the building process, so I tend to use the GUI, even on Linux.

Now official:

... and works perfectly as expected :)

Hi, and wouw maxim, thanks for this great tool

Question about tutorial, what do you mean by "oRed" word ?

and about bmp2tile, I can use it with photoshop images 256x192 converted to indexedcolors image, choosing 16 colors palette (uniform) and then exporting to BMP 8bits

But if I try to use 32 color then I can only export as 16bit bmp and then your soft cannot work with that kind of images, it is normal ?

	Those are intentional exceptions, not crashes (except insofar as they are errors with a stack trace and then the program exits). I did not try to make them look pretty. In Windows they show up as message boxes with the stack hidden away and then an option to continue. I can go sprinkle in some catches...

Yeah I'm aware of the method(its actually incredibly smart), Psidum's UGT does it but I was more or less hoping for something more customizable I guess.

	@Maxim: on Wine you can't tell if it has crashed or not, it just closes with no message whatsoever. @IllusionOfMana: what can be more customizable than plug-ins/exporters you code yourself? ;)

I should start building an SMS compatible map editor plugin! Something that'll output for the SMS and MegaDrive... we'll see... If I do, I'll make a thread about it.

	Even if it greatly depends on what you want to do, Tiled can be enough for your needs. You can create Python exporters easily.

	New version with internal exception handling, hopefully making it clearer what's a "normal" error: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/maxim-zhao/bmp2tile/builds/25630853/artifacts Part of the goal of the rewrite was to make it a proper commandline program, as these days I pretty much always use it as part of an assets conversion batch - which I'd expect a Linuxer to prefer anyway :)

	Hi, and wouw maxim, thanks for this great tool Question about tutorial, what do you mean by "oRed" word ? and about bmp2tile, I can use it with photoshop images 256x192 converted to indexedcolors image, choosing 16 colors palette (uniform) and then exporting to BMP 8bits But if I try to use 32 color then I can only export as 16bit bmp and then your soft cannot work with that kind of images, it is normal ?
