SGDKResCodeGen

About

It's a small tool, which automaticly creates .res code for your SGDK project

Quick Start

• Download latest exe from Releases on github
• Put it in res folder inside your sgdk project
• Run program once, it will create folders gfx, images, sounds, music, sprites, tilesets, palette, and .res files.

How to use

Every file name inside folders: gfx, images, sounds, music, sprites, tilesets, palette, can affect on final code.

1. If first symbol is _ (for example _randomSpr.png), then, file ignored.
2. In sprites folder, by renaming filename, you can change tile_res_x, tile_res_y, time_to_play_1_frame:

randomSpr-2_2_5.png

which translates into

SPRITE spr_randomSpr "sprites/randomSpr-2_2_5.png" 2 2 FAST 5

So, you need to add a - to change attributes.

The remainder after -, ignored in sprite name in code

SPRITE spr_Debug_target "sprites/Debug/target-1_1_2.png" 1 1 FAST 2

3. If you don't specify attributes, then the sprite resolution in tiles, is calculated automatically

Differences between v0.1 and last versions.

In v0.1 gfx.res code looks like this

PALETTE Room01_pal "gfx/Room01.png"
TILESET Room01_tileset "gfx/Room01.png" BEST ALL
MAP Room01_map "gfx/Room01.png" Room01_tileset BEST 0

In last versions looks like this

PALETTE pal_Room01 "gfx/Room01.png"
TILESET tileset_Room01 "gfx/Room01.png" BEST ALL
MAP map_Room01 "gfx/Room01.png" tileset_Room01 BEST 0

In last versions you can use 1.png like pic names, in v0.1 you can't
