BMP2SCM, w00t!

[Vanguard]

I decided to finally release my program, BMP2SCM. This program, like its name, converts BMP's to the TILE data in a starcraft scenario. First you load a 128x128 map, then you load a picture, then you choose a tile # for each color in the picture, and after all that you press "convert", then "save". You can get the tile number with StarForge or GUEdit or something like that. This program is not for uber-n00bs.

Download!

I don't have time to play with it now but i have a few questions.

First: Does it have to be a Bmp? Or will jpegs work?
Second: Does the map have to be a SCM? (im going from your title)
Third: Does it work if you load a map larger than 128x128? Smaller?

I guess if you don't answer soon enough ill just test it by myself.

It'll work with the BMP, GIF, and JPEG file types. The map can be either SCM or SCX. It has to be 128x128, though.

Edit: Also, I recommend lowering the color depth of the image (i.e. use less colors in the picture). You have to set a tile for every single color found on the image.

I'm still not sure exactly how it works, but when I click convert I get the following error (I did steps one, two, and three right):

Well I kinda assumed that you would have to adjust the colors.

Make sure your map editor isn't open at the time you run the program.

[COLOR=33DD33]I have one question.

Does it have to be like 5 colors, or did you program it so it could be as many colors as you want, and have close to matching colors as the same pallette? Or a different pallette for every color?[/COLOR]

[COLOR=004400]-[/COLOR][COLOR=006600]M[/COLOR][COLOR=008800]a[/COLOR][COLOR=00AA00]tr[/COLOR][COLOR=00CC00]i[/COLOR][COLOR=00EE00]x[/COLOR][COLOR=00FF00]-[/COLOR]​

It uses a different palette for every color, so some people complain that they have 5000 colors in the list. =/
