I have Tile Edit, and am trying to export entire tilesets... But doing it one group at a time is taking very long.
1664 Groups*2 seconds each=3328 Seconds=55.4667 Minutes=.09244 Hours
Approx. 1 Hour*8 Tilesets=8 Hours=1/3 of a day
1/2 of the day I sleep, leaving 1/6 of a day to do other things.
So, a faster way to convert entire tilesets into bitmaps would be very nice. (I don't care if it produces a giant image, many small 1 tile images, or in rows like Tile Edit does, I just need entire tilesets exported. )

While I wait for replies, I am going to export more tile groups.

EDIT: I actually would prefer it saves many 1 tile images...

write a batch file to do it for you
or run multiple instances of TileEdit.

It wastes my time because I have to do it manually, I cant click things in my sleep.

Its just I have to click the first item, click "Export Group", click "Save", then it says something and I click "Ok", I click 2nd thing and repeat, and do that untill the end.

Batch files can do that for me?

no, hmm i wonder if they have the file format somewhere.
Or i have to figure out how to do keystroke emulation, or look at tileedits memory a bit.

Maybe you could split the work among many people? I'll volunteer.

I have the first 6 of Badlands as groups (as Voyager has seen )

Nope. You can't do anything like that with tiledit, and since tileedit is the only program that can extract the tiles, it's your only option. If tileset editing becomes bigger, maybe someone will make a better version of tiledit that isn't so buggy and limited.

Well, then how did GoldenUrg make GUEdit's tile editor? How did SI and Heimdal make the tile palletes for SCMDraft and StarForge?
I highly doubt they took that time using TileEdit to extract one by one. (Most likely found how to use them, but that still puts them in a useable form. And that is what I am trying to do)

If you can find someway better to do it yourself, all the better. I'd be all for it. You'd probably want to talk to SI or heimdal about what they did.

Where can I find what each tileset filetype is? (Like what has the image data in it)

If the image data is like any bitmap format (256 Colors, greyscale, Monochrome, 16-bit, 32-bit) I can hex edit it into a bitmap.

I'll look around.

You'd be better off asking the people at warboards. They might be able to point you in the right direction.

I can put together a bitmap if I have the pallete file and the images file. I found the palletes now I need the images.

omg, topic revived!

Ok I have found what the filetypes are, but the descriptions are not very descriptive.

If I know a bit more about the ones with a question mark (?), I could just build all the tiles from this (unless I wan't to just make all the minitiles.. but that does not help much)

AutoIt, It can do mouseclick emulation for you.
Look at Pie Sniper's sig for the link, i'm lazy.

There's a magic thing called google. Use it.
