All Bitmap (AllBmp) is an application made by me (Nobun) written with g++/Allegro (Allbmp main program) and g++/Qt4 (Allbmp fronthead).

AllBmp is able to re-adapt a list of "original" images (*.PCX or *.BMP - can be both RGB or 256-colors) changing them in 256-colors images (PCX or BMP) that are "clones" of "original" images, but using a palette configuration decided by the user (must be save in one of supported formats).

Palette file format supported that can be loaded for params are:

1. Pal -> Jasc Pal format (.pal): the most common format. Used in a lot of painting program like IrfanView and I.Mage

2. Act -> Photoshop Act File (.act): it is the format used in Photoshop and used in Mugen. DON'T USE THIS OPTION IF YOU HAVE TO LOAD A BOR.ACT you have to choose the 3rd option

3. Actinv -> BOR Act File (*.act): This is a particular way-to-read act files used in BOR. I don't know if it is used in other programs. In this case the colors are not inverted.

----

The program is composed by 2 binaries:

1) allbmp -> the main program. It can be complex to use. I suggest to run the fronthead instead.

2) ab20front -> allbmp fronthead (the GUI). It is easy to use. Require to be in the same directory of allbmp binary.

here a shot of allbmp fronthead (the GUI)

As you can see, the most important thing to care about is to choose from “pal” to “act” to “actinv” BEFORE choosing the palette filename. Choose “pal” if you must load a Jasc Pal File. Choose “act” if you must load a Mugen Act file. Choose “actinv” if you must load a BOR Act file.

INSTRUCTIONS

This is a list of what you do to run the program (thank to Fightn Words for the description of windows steps. I use it and I changed it a little)

For Linux

Step 1) Download allbmp20-linux-install.tar.gz

Step 2) Read instructions and info about pre-requisites and building instructions and install Allegro and Qt4 (also development tools) into your linux system

Step 4) run ./DO-INSTALL or duble-click into DO-INSTALL

Step 5) Follow instructions during building process

Step 6) Run allbmp by terminal ( ./allbmp) to test screen-resolution then exit. If screen-resolution test returns an error you must change resolution by editing AllBmp.cfg and you must test again.

Step 7) You can now use All Bitmap by running ab20front.exe

For Windows

Step 1)
Download all files for your corresponding operating system: (Windows) Mingwm10.zip, QtCore4.zip, QtGui4.zip, AllBmp20-Windows-Binary.zip

Step 2)
Unzip all files into a separate directory

Step 3)
Move alleg42.dll, mingwm10.dll, QtCore4.dll and QtGui4.dll into your Windows/System 32 directory

Step 5)
Run allbmp.exe to test screen-resolution then exit. If screen-resolution test returns an error you must change resolution by editing AllBmp.cfg and you must test again.

Step 6)
You can now use All Bitmap by running ab20front.exe

Here the packages available (Linux Packages, Windows Packages, Windows DLL):

Note: Thank to Fightn Words to give me the information that also mingw10.dll needed in order to run the fronthead.
