Hello everyone... This is a k00l little trinket that'll convert
IFF 8-color brushes to ASCII text. Usage is pretty simple:
brush2txt <input file> <output file> [-characters]
Input file: an 8 color IFF brush. I recommend you create this brush
------------ in 640x200 (8 color) mode, as the pixel's aspect ratio
closely resemble that of screen characters.
Output file: text file to be created.
------------
Characters: Optional. Tells the converter what characters it should
----------- use to replace the colors from the brush. Color 0 will
always be replaced with a blank space. The first character
after the "-" will replace color 1 from the brush, the
second will replace color 2, and so on until color 7.
If you omit this parameter, the default setting is -#:/[OM.
(including the period) This setting will work well with a
brush having the following pallete:
Converts to this letter
RGB by default
------------ -----------------------
Color 0: 000 " "
Color 1: FFF "#"
Color 2: 444 ":"
Color 3: 666 "/"
Color 4: 999 "["
Color 5: BBB "O"
Color 6: DDD "M"
Color 7: 222 "."
------------
A very easy way of creating this with DPaint is to set color 0 to black,
color 7 to white, spread from 0 to 7, and exchange 1 & 7.
I chose this as default because it's much easier to work with than a
straight black to white spread from color 0 to 7 (menus get hard to
read). If you don't like it, well, go ahead and use the characters
option to satisfy your needs ;-) (if you use a spread from black to
white, you could use -.:/[OM# for the characters option)
You may spread this program around as much as u like to, I only ask that
this doc file be included with it.
Anyway, have fun, and don't harass too many people with pictures...
1200-baud modem-users will hate you! (and maybe even hate me ;)
