This is the opposite to the
HWP Build helper. It's compatible with the split spritesheets from the HWP Build helper. In fact it was tested with them.
I wanted to merge split spritesheets for 2x2 units back into complete ones, so it's easier to edit them.
This works for all drawingRoutines relevant to 2x2 units (2, 3, 5, 11, 12, 20 and 21)
For drawingRoutine 2 and 11 this tool expects 5 turrets each.
For drawingRoutine 2 and 3 there are a few artefacts for the propulsion. I haven't found out why yet. But they should be easily removed by hand.
Usage:
At this stage it is a command line tool (no fancy GUI yet)
You will need to path to the location of this python file and type
python merge_2x2_spritesheet.py file_to_be_merged.png drawingRoutineNumber
For example:
python merge_2x2_spritesheet.py split_hwptemplate_21.png 21
Of course it would be great if this Python script could be implemented on
