Wombat returns!

Post by szevvy »

After many years, I proudly present...Wombat 1.0!

It's not as polished as I'd like, but it was time to get something out there.

New features:
- Wombat now runs on a scripting language, making it easy to add support for new games
- Images are now exported as PNGs, so transparency is saved out
- You can export multiple things at once - select 'sprites', hit export, and all sprites are exported.
- It's a complete rewrite, mmkay?

New games supported:
- Age of Empires - most images
- Boppin - some initial extraction
- Catacomb - images
- Dangerous Dave 2 - images, levels
- Doom - packed file extraction
- Eve Online - packed file extraction, images
- God of Thunder - images, levels
- Heroes of Might and Magic I and II - some images
- Mystic Towers - some images
- Oregon Trail - images
- Shadow Knights - tiles, levels
- Sierra/AGI - images
- Syndicate - tiles
- Zombie Wars - some images

New features in games:
- 7 Cities - palette fixes, _col images draw
- Alien Carnage - more images draw
- Ancients I - walls now draw
- Cannon Fodder - more images are correct
- Captain Comic - colors are correct on sprites
- Keen 1,2,3,4,5,6 and Dreams - levels are now being drawn
- Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure - levels are now being drawn
- Crystal Caves - fixed font drawing
- Duke Nukem II - levels draw much better, and with actor sprites
- Duke Nukem 3D - some images are now drawing
- Jazz Jackrabbit - now drawing sprites
- Math Rescue, Word Rescue - images are no longer broken
- Monster Bash - now drawing sprites
- Thief 3 - all images now draw

Great work! I really should try the scripting language feature in order to get support for one game, or try to, it'd be easier to try different stuff in that one instead of coding different programs (or trying to). I hope. :)

A data import/extract tool for dozens of games, mostly classics that don't have any previous programs for editing their files.

Yay, it works a lot better than the old one.

Sadly it still doesn't show the graphics of prehistoric... I hope it will someday.
