C3C Graphics Mixer

[WildWeazel]

OK, here is what's going on:
I downloaded the new version and can now open a pcx file directly from the folder (as I did here), but the program still isn't recognizing any of the files in the source window. I set the pcx files to always open using the mixer, but they still have the GIMP icon and are called GIMP images.

Well, I think you have to change your PCX association as bwlow, my OS is Japanese XP, but you should understand what I am talking:
1. Click right mouse button on a PCX file in explore:


2. Click button as below:


3. Select C3CGraphicsMixer if there is, or click button if there is not.


4. Select C3CGraphicsMixer.exe and click ok all.


Now your PCX file should be associated to Mixer, please tell me if you still have problems.

@mikezang, looks great! I'm working on something somewhat similar, but it overlays graphics onto the popHeads tiles. Does yours overlay or just replace tiles?

This really has nothing to do with this. But could you make a program that takes a series of .png files and make them into an animated gif? This would save a whole lot of time for me.

The GIMP will do it using layers. Search around for howtos. But I like the command-line programs of ImageMagick: http://www.imagemagick.org/

Look here for everything you want to know about GIF animation with ImageMagick: http://www.cit.gu.edu.au/~anthony/graphics/imagick6/animations/

In summary, if your PNGs are the same size, modifying this should work:

convert -delay 100 frame1.png frame2.png frame3.png -loop 0 animated.gif

That's what I already did, before posting my screenshot. Apparently the files are labeled as "GIMP image" instead of *.pcx. I'll see if I can find anything on the GIMP website about disassociating them. I want to use this program!

Thx. I think this will work!

What do you mean "Does yours overlay or just replace tiles?"?

By overlay I mean combine/composite like this:



Will your utility do this to the tiles?

 

[mikezang]

I just copy whole tile, not part of a tile.
A + B = A

 

[Puppeteer]

Cool. I'll continue working on mine then.

Yeah, K, its a bump, but I don`t get this one

Weasel, did you figure this sucker out?

 

[WildWeazel]

No, I couldn't. But I'm proficient enough at GIMP now that I don't need it.

 

[Roman Legion]

Nice, this Prog. Rock's!!!!!!

 

[Stormrage]

RL, could you make a quick tutorial for this?
