TextureFinder 1.3.2

Formats implemented so far:

TRUE COLOUR (RGBA) FORMATS :
64bits 16x4
48bits 16x3

24bits 888
16bits 565
15+1bits 1555
12+4bits 4444
08+8bits 8332

TextureFinder 2.1
Image

Newer and better version of TextureFinder.

Tile Molester 0.16
Image
Tile Molester, or TM for short, is a program that facilitates the viewing and editing of raw graphics data; that is, graphics contained in arbitrary binary files, where one usually doesn't have initial knowledge about the location and/or format of the graphics. The main area of application thus far has been videogame console binaries. In most cases, these files contain a large variety of data, not just graphics -- sound data and actual game code are two examples. Collections of data in one and the same file may be interspersed in any conceivable fashion, subject to hardware/software-constraints of the intended runtime-environment as well as the decisions made by the producers of the binary (the developers).

TM is a kind of visual explorer of such files, in that it allows the file contents to be interpreted and displayed in a multitude of ways. By perusing the file and tweaking the settings of the renderer, the binary data that corresponds to graphics may be made accessible in the way they are intended, and edited to the satisfaction of the user.

TiledGGD 2.0.3.0
Image
A generic graphics dumping tool, based on the elusive program GGD

TiledGGD - basically it’s GGD (General Graphical Dump tool), with some extra features: Currently working (extra) features:

* Support for tiled graphics (tiles of any size) and palettes (tile sizes are restricted, because they need to fit a 16*16 grid) * Copy visible graphics and palette directly to clipboard * ‘Go To Offset’ functionality * Toggle Endianness of graphics and palette separately * Save the entire graphics * Built-in NCGR/NCBR and NCLR support (I’m not using all the data from the files, so there are most likely still some bugs) * Lua plugin support

Rainbow is a tool intended to convert different graphics formats from video games assets to and from user editable images (like png). It currently supports almost every variant of the TIM2 format.

The main difference with other great tools like Tile Molester and Crystal Tile 2 is to provide direct support to proprietary graphics formats found in "new generation" consoles, like PS2, PSP, Wii, etc., instead of dealing with just the raw image data.

Features

The underlying image library has almost complete support to TIM2 texture files usually found in PS2 and PSP games. The app supports multi-layer, multi-clut, swizzled (PSP)/unswizzled TIM2 images with both linear, interleaved palettes, and segments headers eventually extended with custom user data (usually used by programmers).
Can open textures in any format supported by the underlying image library.
Can open whole folders in search of supported texture formats. All known texture files are then displayed in a list.
Can export and import textures in suitable image formats for editing (like png).
Any additional information specific to the texture is preserved when exporting/importing (like the TIM2 header data), in order to have a one-to-one correspondence with the original texture.
Customizable background color for transparent and semi-transparent images with chessboard like pattern.
Finally, Rainbow supports parameters via command line: the first parameter is the name of a texture you would like to open.

TileShop and ImageMagitek
TileShop is a WPF application for Windows that implements ImageMagitek and allows end-users to manage specialized graphics in a modern GUI environment. ImageMagitek is an internal .NET library written in C# to view, edit, and organize common and complex retro videogame system graphics. Emphasis is given to the features most valuable to the common, cumbersome tasks when encountering graphics embedded within binaries without any distinguishable headers or identifiers. Exporting and importing is supported to allow advanced editing features to be performed in third-party image editors that operate on standard PNG.
