Short: Convert an iff-pic to c64-koala Author: blacky@caiw.nl Uploader: blacky caiw nl Type: gfx/conv Architecture: m68k-amigaos This package converts a 320x200 with 16 grays ILBM to a C64 koala picture. The way you go about this is described below: 1- make sure the iff picture is 320x200 (if not, use DPAINT or ADPRO) 2- make sure the iff picture has 16 grays (if not, use ADPRO) 3- make sure the grays are in the following order : $000 $111 $222 $333 $444 $555 $666 $777 $888 $999 $aaa $bbb $ccc $ddd $eee $fff (if not, use DPAINT) 4- use ilbmtoraw to convert the iff to a raw-format picture example : ilbmtoraw picture a file called 'picture.lo.320x200x4' should be created, this is the raw- format file. 5- use raw2koala to convert the raw-format picture into a C64 koala picture. There are 2 ways in which raw2koala can convert the raw-picture: The hyper conversion method uses a pattern-dithering method to construct the missing grays on the C64, this method is somewhat slower but leaves you with a large amount of grays. example hyper-mode : raw2koala picture.lo.320x200x4,koalapic,2 The simple conversion method uses no dithering of any kind, this method is somewhat faster, but leaves you with a small amount of grays and less detail. example simple-mode : raw2koala picture.lo.320x200x4,koalapic,1 That's all folks... #### # # ##### # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #### # ##### # ### # # # # # # # # # # # #### ##### # # ##### # # # ***** ***** * **** **** * * ***** ***** * * * * * * * * * * * * ***** * ***** **** * * * * ***** * * * * * * * * * * * * * ***** * * * * * **** ***** ***** *
