Tile\sprite Ripper
« on: August 17, 2018, 01:54:34 pm »
Okay, so here is a little program I wrote to rip a tile set from WarCraft 1 to use in my clone as I could not find the plains tile set already ripped(found the swamp tile set and everything else). Its not super efficient, but that was never my goal. Its not terribly customizable, but again not my goal, however it would not be too hard to set up a CONST area where custom values could be used for tile size, image size, ect... . The program does demonstrate some old classic sprite usage with GET\PUT if you just wanted to see how they can, and often were, used way back when. I do not advise there use 'mainstream' now with _putimage being, quite honestly, easier to use, though having its own restrictions. Like not being able to move something around the screen without first putting it on a different image layer.

Not really going to go over the code, just wanted to throw it out there maybe someone else could have a use for it. If you have any questions on parts of it go ahead and ask here. there are quite a few comments in the code but its my 'chicken scratches' so-to-speak so might not be clear to everybody. kind of fun to watch working with the delays on, I believe its like 15-20 mins with them set at there current values. my first run would have taken nearly 75 mins! cause I had them set sooo high. On the map I was using I forgot to move the cursor off the screen when I screen captured so it finds a lot of extra tiles, soooo I'm going to have to recapture the whole thing again. :-{
I've PNGed the map for size, for people with slower connections, and if you have trouble loading it download the latest DB(dirty build) or use build 82(20171106/82) cause that is what I am working with.

First thing: I 'still' play Warcraft 1 and 2... Cool games...
Second thing: When you said it could take some time, you were not wrong. I didn't time it but it took more than 30 mins.
Third thing: Final screen produced a very nice display of all the unique tiles... Nicely done.
Forth thing: After all that work, and producing all those tiles, when the program concluded so did the tiles... At least it produced a tileset... Cool...

Nice job.  ;)
Logic is the beginning of wisdom.

Yeah didn't have it save the tiles yet, cause I needed to rebuild the map(see all those nice green pointers!). But yeah thouse delays REALLY make it crawl! They were only there mainly for debugging and so I could watch and make sure it was matching correctly. When removed it completes (on my older machine) in right around 1 minute. then you could always screen capture or Saveimage( http://qb64.org/wiki/SAVEIMAGE ) could be added.

Hello
I run this program and get output to screen so i capoture it to picture for all here to see. Good program that i dont understand much as yet.

Please tell me you turned off the _DELAYs before sitting clean through the whole process! Its fun to watch in my opinion but not practical at all with the delays.

I've actually finished this program a little more, the output is a bit cleaner and it saves the tile set with something SMcNeill put together a little ways back. the .BI goes at the top and the .BM goes at the bottom(get it 'BM'... bottom!) of a program. it can save in BMP and PNG(put the zlib.dll in the right folder) and now I have to find the updated Tile ripper cause its not on this machine. typed all this and now I'll just have to edit it when I find it. Ah well.

A few minutes later....

Found.... part of it.. not sure where the full one went, must not have been saved but the only difference was I set up some CONST values to control tile size, spacing, and line count(number of tiles per line) but this out puts a little cleaner by placing a space between each tile.
