Palette converter

edit: Released. Image:PaletteConverter.zip



It should be pretty self-explanetory - you can convert uncompressed Genesis art from one palette to another.

When you load up a "new" palette, it will try to match up the colors from the old to the new, or you can manually change them. The thin blocks at the top of each new palette item are the old palette color that will take that place, so you can try to match them up correctly. By saving the "old palette in new order" it will save those thin blocks (with an extra black color at the start, to account for the transparent slot).

When loading a palette, it'll ask you which index to start at, default is 1 to ignore the transparent slot.

By the way, that screenshot has the "old" palette of S3&K Sonic, and the "new" palette of SATSEE Sonic.

 

Added an option for colored lines, and released: http://info.sonicretro.org/Image:PaletteConverter.zip

I'm not sure if that will work since I literally just built it and uploaded the .exe. You'll need .NET 2 to run it.

 

.NET 2 kicks VB6's ass. =P

edit: that's from my experience, not a random flame at your xm3smps program.

 

Sorry, forgot you were using VB5.

Either way, .NET > VB Classic.

Maybe that's because they hadn't finished it yet?

Don't get me wrong, I don't like Microsoft and I don't like how their newest developments /are/, in general, slower and larger than programming in good old C++, BUT on the flip side, .NET 2 is fast enough for these purposes, and it's really easy to write the program in the first place without getting lost in hard-to-read code that's longer than it should be. Nobody would make something if they didn't think it was worth it, and just look at how much work has been put into making .NET 2 (which is a damn lot).

That's besides the point though, this topic's supposed to be about a program, not comparing programming languages.
