Full Version: BSV or PUT to bmp?
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I have thousands of images that I need to convert from either BSV or .PUT to .BMP. Does anyone have any type of program that can painlessly do this? Maybe even convert every file in a directory to .BMP? The reason I ask is because I plan on trying to remake Ped Xing's Quest using c++.

If anyone really wants to help out, they could redo all the gfx for Ped Xing's Quest so I can make the game run at a higher resolution with better graphics. Big Grin (that's a very tall order)
I could make one easily...how are your palettes stored?
Do you remember that nmedia palette? That is the palette I used. It was DQB's 768 byte palette data. I have class in a minute, but I'll send you the palette data when I get back. Also, the put files have vairable widths, heights, and number of images (if there is any way to check for that).

here is the palette data one is for paint shop pro and the other is saved as microsoft pal

I wrote a PUT -> BMP converter a while back, but it only works for PUT files with all images the same size.

I think I threw in the sources (C++) also.
Very cool, but I can't seem to compile it using MSVC6. Paint shop pro can't recognize the file either.

I don't know if you are familiar with allegro, but I want to load a PUT file into allegro's BITMAP format.

here is a post in the general programming section I wrote:

So...you still want that program? I've got it mostly done, just have to add in directory scanning.
sure, mine isn't done yet, and still has some bugs. I would really like to try out your program.

Plasma, I'm pretty sure that someone will be very grateful if you can squish that nasty DQB bug involving packed sounds. Big Grin *whistles*
Sheet, why didn't you remind me before...totally forgot about that man. I'll start fixing it tomorrow for you. Smile
Okay, I finished it. This is pretty handy if you even need this kind of thing.
