GP32 GP Dev Utils

[Alex]

Hello!

I've a problem using the Gamepark Dev Tools (ver 2). When I load bitmaps whith a modified palette and export them to c source, the dev utils always matches the colors to the nearest of the GP32 standard palette. But I want to change the palette later by myself, so the colors don't fit.

Is there a utility, that exports bitmaps to c source just writing the index numbers into the array and not modifying the indexes?

Thanks, Alex

well, I don't know how to use GpDevUtil. I use GPConverter32, it generates an palette you use instead of the system one:

h_pal = GpPaletteCreate(256, (GP_PALETTEENTRY*)sprites_Pal);
GpPaletteSelect(h_pal);
GpPaletteRealize();
GpPaletteDelete(h_pal);
h_pal = NULL;

h_pal: an GpPalette
sprites_Pal is the palette from sprites.h

Read Rico's great tutorial for more info on that.

Thanks, but unfortunately I get an error 500 when opening the tutorial on rico's page (http://www.thaworx.co.uk/rico.php).

Is there an alternative link?

EDIT:

French tutorial worked, but I don't speak French. Nevertheless I found the link to GPConverter32. Google didn't find it.

are you using devkitadv or minigp32?
kann you use 16bit functions?

are you working on something special?

Found it, it's called GP32Converter, not GPConverter32. Makes Google find nothing...

I started coding a window toolkit for GP32, similar to Windows SDK programming (messageloop etc.). It already draws windows...but no buttons and nothing else at the moment. Just started Saturday...

You can take a look at the WIP here.
