Cripper Utility program - talmina - 02-06-2014

Hi! I'm new!

I needed to rip tiles for a personal project using a "screenshot" method. I wanted to dump tiles into sheets, while discarding horizontal and vertical flips. Didn't know what utilities to use, so I made my own.

Cripper (crappy tile ripper) is a program for ripping tiles to a sheet from properly aligned screenshots. It searches all files in the current working directory and dumps all unique tiles into a sheet.

It is designed for Linux, but I compiled a win32 binary for people with sub-par operating systems.

Attached is two outputs from a set of Zelda 3 images.
  • Discards flipped tiles
  • Can specify width of tiles desired
  • Can specify output file
  • Assumes "magic" magenta is transparent, and adds alpha channel if using PNG for output
  • Uses a hash algorithm to determine uniqueness; it may occasionally discard a unique tile, but this should be rare.
