FEIDIAN v0.85

posted in Utility Release by mfc on Mar 7th, 2004

FEIDIAN, an all-purpose, multi-platform, bitplane graphic dumper, has been updated recently. Here is what's new:

Fixed an severe error (set $bit2 twice) that was causing all 3bpp insertion to break.
Fixed a glitch with linear insertion. Genesis/Megadrive seems to work properly now. Can anyone verify if this holds true for NeoGeo Pocket Color?
Added CRC32 as an option for tile data in BCR. If you want to use CRC32, uncomment the line in settings.php.
Changed the MD5 and SHA1 for BCR to use raw output instead of alpha-numeric. This means the output will be half the length, making tile search even quicker.
Optimized 60 lines in both custominj.php and customrip.php. But this is pointless since full XPM support required adding a ton more.
Full support for XPM reading and writing in all functions. Hopefully this proves useful to someone. On the upside of things, with XPM support GDLIB 2.0 should now be at my disposal.
Added a line to start muting notices. There's this minor annoyance about declaring a color depth twice when working with custom tiles. It's because the tile definition gets included twice. I've updated the tile definition template to check if a color depth has been defined and updated all tile definitions which people have submitted to the website, but this is just in case you have some creeping around your computer based on the old format.
8width.php has been completely phased out.

You can get this from our Graphics Hacking Utilities section.
