Convert a screenshot to tilemap
#1
3D Modelling 
Hi' all,
New to the forum - but avid user of the TSR site :-)

For fun I created a tool to convert screenshots to tilemaps.

Example: Feed it a 1:1 screenshot from arcade Bubble Bobble or C64 Bruce Lee - and it will output a tilemap file (png) with the tiles used and a level file using that tilemap (tmx) to recreate level/image.

It's done in Construct 3. Not optimal - but that was what I had available Smile
It works best with clean background images and will not magically remove player/enemy sprites - but just think of them as unique tiles. 
Remove any borders or margins from the image before converting, as this will likely cause it to miss the tile grid.

I don't know if anyone made a tool like this, but i didn't find one Wink

Enjoy - and please drop me a comment if you find it useful. (Specially if you are able to use the tmx file outside Construct - I haven't tried that)

*** UPDATE: Moved the tool to my own webserver as the first one blocked downloads. Also updated the tool a little to make it scroll the source image on large images.
