ANDYPIC v1.30

ANDYPIC was created originally as a modified version of DAGPIC (by Dave Humphrey), for use in importing and exporting pictures into ANDYFALL. It has the capability to display and import a much larger variety of picture files, including the texture files that contain the clothing, weapons, and armor. It is obviously a clone of DAGPIC, and I give Dave Humphrey full credit for this design.

ANDYPIC is intended to work exactly like DAGPIC, so that anyone familiar with that program should have no trouble using ANDYPIC. For anyone who hasn't used DAGPIC, though, here's the command line options:

  ANDYPIC filename /B:PCX_filename [options]
     filename……….The Daggerfall picture file
			can be an IMG,CIF,TEXTURE, or TFAC00I0.RCI
     /B:PCX_filename…The PCX image file

  OPTIONS:
      [/S[:#]]…….Save PCX as IMG/CIF file. Optional number is for
		     saving in position # in CIF file (Default = 1)
		     If '/S:e' is used, PCX is appended to end of CIF file
      [/D]………..Pause before displaying image
      [/P:palette]…Uses the specified palette file
      [/N]………..Don't display image, no output to screen
      /?………….Displays help screen
	  /X………….Displays the horizontal screen coordinate with each
	  		 picture
	  /X:#………..For use with /S.  Sets horizontal screen coordinate to #
	  /X:+#……….For use with /S.  Increases horizontal screen coordinate
	  		 by #
	  /X:-#……….For use with /S.  decreases horizontal screen coordinate
	  		 by #
	  /Y………….Displays the vertical screen coordinate with each
	  		 picture
	  /Y:#………..For use with /S.  Sets vertical screen coordinate to #
	  /Y:+#……….For use with /S.  Increases vertical screen coordinate
	  		 by #
	  /Y:-#……….For use with /S.  decreases vertical screen coordinate
	  		 by #
 	EXAMPLES:
	=========
	  ANDYPIC TEXTURE.237
	  			Displays the pictures in TEXTURE.237 one by one

	  ANDYPIC TEXTURE.237 /B:237.pcx
	  			Displays each picture in TEXTURE.237 and gives 
				the option of saving them to pcx files

	  ANDYPIC TEXTURE.237 /X /Y
	  			Displays each picture in TEXTURE.237 and also 
				provides the screen coordinates.

	  ANDYPIC TEXTURE.237 /B:cloak.pcx /S:30
	  			Installs your picture cloak.pcx into slot 30 
				in TEXTURE.237, and lets you see it on-screen 
				before installing it.

	  ANDYPIC TEXTURE.237 /B:cloak.pcx /S:30 /N
	  			Installs your picture cloak.pcx into slot 30 
				in TEXTURE.237, without displaying it first


	  ANDYPIC TEXTURE.237 /B:cloak.pcx /S:30 /X:180 /Y:4
	  			Installs your picture cloak.pcx into slot 30 
				in TEXTURE.237, and sets the screen coordinates 
				to 180,4.  Displays the picture
	  			on-screen before installing.

ANDYPIC can also run in interactive mode (if you specify no command line parameters) in which it prompts you for the above information. Some of the above options are not available in interactive mode.

Using Allpic with Andypic

If you have dagpic, but want to use Allpic with Andypic instead, simply edit allpic.bat, changing dagpic to andypic.

Well, have fun, and remember, I am not responsible for any misfortunes that occur as a result of your use of ANDYPIC. Use at your own risk.

Changes With Version 1.30:

An error which caused picture importation to fail when the image path was other than the default (..\arena2\) was fixed.

File writing speed was increased.

Changes With Version 1.20:

An error in the filename generation code was corrected.

An error in the routine to display coordinates was corrected.

This text file was updated, to provide better examples of use.

Changes With Version 1.10:

I added the x/y coordinate setting options.

Changes With Version 1.02:

Two bugs were fixed:

1. The font file smalthin.fnt was not included with V1.00. This caused no problem if you used ANDYPIC from the same directory as DAGPIC, but was bad for a new user or someone using ANDYPIC from a different directory. The font file is now included.
2. Installing pictures into CIF or IMG files did not work, and that has been fixed.

The Listing of the contents of the texture files, TEXTURE.TXT has been included

PS -- the weapons are in texture.233-234, the clothing in texture.235-242, and the armor in texture.245-252
