Title: PCK exporting question
Post by: Rekkan on March 01, 2015, 08:35:40 pm

Hi,
Is there a tool to export sprite sheets from pck in a clean way into png/bmp files?
By clean i mean no extra pixels. I tried PCKView, but if used to save a whole bitmap, it saves the files as they appear in the viewer, and each sprite is divided from another one by one pixel lines. I would need sprites to be exactly one next to another. I could swear I saw an option to turn those lines off, and then i could save the files as i wanted, but i can't find it anymore. I used some older version of PCKView, then i lost it, and the newer versions either doesnt have a way to turn those lines off, or i don't know how to find it.
I tried BB's tools as well, but that "pck2png" app throws a lot of stuff into the resulting image, like sprite number and some weird frame around the picture, which i havent found how to turn off either.
I'd appreciate help on this.

Don't forget to add the .TAB file as well if you're converting PCK files.

Falko is our tool guru! ;D

I think that Volutar's MCDEdit also do it
