Welcome to the page of APXconv!
APXconv is a little tool to convert APEX-blocks into useable imageformats.
UPDATE: V1.1 released.
- v1.0 always saved the height of IFF images the same as the width.
I had only used it with 256x256 textures, so I never saw this problem.
Thanks to Deez for reporting!
What is it useful for?
-
Have you ever made a picture in APEX and only saved it
as a block file? I have, and arrrrrgh! APEX can't load
the colour-palette from the block file! Terrible.
Loads of hours have been spent re-doing stuff becuase
I've forgotten to double-save the images in gif format.
With this program, the APEX blocks can be transferred into
readable IFF-files (directly loadable into APEX) and then
you have your palette back as it was!
-
Have you ever made a picture smaller than the screen size,
say a 256x256 texture, and then tried to save it? Right!
APEX only saves the damn screen, not the block in TARGA
and GIF (the very latest APEX versions released can save
blocks as gif too (still not TARGA), but it seems very few
bought APEX when this feature had been added).
So with this tool, you can save an APEX-block in any
resolution and easily convert it to an IFF or TARGA
image for displaying in other programs than APEX itself.
- If you need to learn save TARGA or IFF from your own assembler programs
you can rip out these parts from the source (source is included
in the archive).
