Martine a cpc old / Plus tool to handle your images

Sid_ · 22:24, 19 January 22

Hi friends,

I saw that the command line is not the most common usage, that's why I started to develop a GUI for Martine.
You will be able to do the same but you will improve your production.
It's still in WIP, but it will be available soon. And as usual, all the ideas and requests are encouraged.

Just two quick question (I have seen Martine the first time but haven't used / tried / got deeper of Martine descprition so far):

What I have seen is that there's tile map tool included (also for command line). Does it mean I can create tiles (asm or c code) from an image (e.g. GIF)?

If I'm going to create a tile map with is this tool, is it also able to recognize duplicate tiles?

To create a tilemap and a tileset from an image you can use this online tool.

The exported files are reusable in Tiled.

The purpose of this module in Martine is exactly what you expect. It looks for duplicate tiles and keep the tile index in a map.
You can save the results either in imptiles format (I mean two files. one containing the tiles and one file containing the indexes of the tiles. For informations can be found here http://imptiles.wikidot.com), or as sprites format for the tiles and the map indexes.
If some features are needed, feel free to ask.

Sounds good!
Downloaded the release 0.30 from github for Windows. In the binaries folder there are four files including "martine". All extensions are missing. Are all files .exe?

Sid_ · 10:30, 20 January 22

yes I know, my bad. When I compiled for windows I forgot to add the .exe extension.
And all are executables.
This will no longer happen in the next releases.

Just one more question (then I'm going to have try...

. Assuming I have GIF picture (size about 240 x 480 pixel). The colouring is created with the original Amstrad CPC colours (14 out of 27). I wanted to create tiles (12x24).
How can I adjust the colours or is Martine recognizing the original colors.
I've worked so far with the command line tool "Img2CPC" where you have an config-file with a colours setup.

I've also seen that martine only accept tile width 8 or 16 pixels.

Martine will find the originals colors (either plus or old CPC palette).
I curb the tiles size to 8x8 8x16 16x16 for the moment.
I see a lot of developers using different tile size, the new version of Martine will allow any size.

Is there an easy way to host Martine so that it can be used to load any images from the net?

eg:

martinehost.com/?mode=1&url=http://imagehost.com/image.jpg

Lnux? The title says "Martine a cpc old / Plus tool", and each time, for half a second, I'm under the impression it is a Amstrad native tool!

Ast · 14:40, 21 April 22

More precisely, an amstrad cpc & plus tool.
Doing and release it on a lot of plateform is a good idea !
Viva Don Saluste !

Unlisted YT video

The blue border on three sides of the screen (not visible on the screenshots at CPCPOWER) I've seen a few times before, it might be an annoying "quirk" of the OSSC but I don't know - anyone have any ideas?

Best viewed on a large screen at 720p (YouTube Setting)

To adjust the aspect ratio use Stretch Site:

Sid_ · 21:07, 28 August 23

A new version is available.
A lot of improvements such as means to get the best palette, new widget in animation tab (now you select the image you want to keep in the animation), and export speed up.

To get this new version, follow this link : https://github.com/jeromelesaux/martine/releases/tag/v0.39

The windows and linux version are compiled differently so if you encounter problems tell me I will fix the issue.
Enjoy
