The Dink Network

Somewhat related: to make iplaydink happy, I tried adding preliminary png support (palette pngs, 24-bit pngs, and alpha pngs). It works.

It is really messy. My real job is pretty hectic right now, so I'm not sure if I'll have much time to clean up the implementation.

I've only really tested it with Debug GL configuration; it probably doesn't work in Release GL. I have no idea how/if this would work with mobile builds.

There is some sort of conflict with 'Pic Smoothing', where if a sprite is all alpha channel it will have a halo.



I also created a couple batch file that can convert any existing .bmp files to .png recursively (requires imagemagick to be installed):

pngify.bat

mogrify -format png *.bmp
del /F *.bmp

recurpngify.bat

call "%~dp0pngify.bat"
for /r /d %%x in (*) do (
    pushd "%%x"
    call "%~dp0pngify.bat"
    popd
)

Then just run recurpngify.bat, and everything will be converted to pngs. You could probably whip something up in Toolfish to do that easier.

All Dink graphics are around 33.0 MB in BMP format, and 8.17 MB in PNG format.
