Dirbaio's Background Tiler
This thing converts .png's to .nmb's ready for importing into NSMBe, and does a much better job at it than NSMBe. This is due to a new, much better algorithm I created for this (It does NOT increase the tile number, it's still 320 tiles: it just uses them much better) Comparison of NSMBe vs the Background Tiler: DOWNLOAD v1.1: BackgroundTiler2.zip Includes source code, GPL licensed. How to use
It will create two files:

My guess is that the editor is going to support two palette backgrounds. I was gonna make a tutorial for this but there's no point now.

Actually, no. He showed us this on the IRC and it produces better results because it uses a better algorithm.

It will definitely help improving some background importing, this is very helpful! I'm really looking forward to seeing this got implemented!
The new result look much better despite same 8x8 tiles storage. _________________________

Very nice! I wonder if this can be used to improve texture import quality.

Can you please put this in your new thing and give me the result? It'd be useful to me, because I can't reduce the number of tiles manually.

ASdasdaf with your request you made me implement alpha support in the importer, it wasn't working before. (It's in fact it's the thing I wanted to fix before release).
Here's the result I get: NSMB Hills Top.png.nmb Not bad, hmm? EDIT: This thing is released! See the first post! |

I'm curious, why doesn't it work on the wrong slot (top / bot)?

Posted by ray I'm curious, why doesn't it work on the wrong slot (top / bot)? Because the tile offset is different. The .nmb file contains the raw ncl/ncg/nsc files, the nsc has to be generated with the correct tile offsets for it to work Posted by ray EDIT: BTW, got this when using my img: Shit. A bug in the algorithm. Can you send me the image that causes the bug? Thanks! |

ray: I got your image, I'm not read, I'm trying to fix the bug. ASDASDASD
TRS: yay Also I have a few improvements to the algortihm in mind to use tile flipping and the two palettes, that could result in even more improvements to quality. But they'll come later... EDIT: FIXED! I fixed ray's bug and also another bug that caused .nmb's to get corrupted when using it on Windows. EVERYTHING SHOULD WORK AWESOME NOW. |

Posted by TRS Can't wait to rerip my backgrounds (once I remember where I put the pictures). :D Maybe not. Because Dirbaio's BG tiler doesn't render the details better than nsmbe, in some cases. Dirbaio's BG tiler -> NSMBe -> There's still place for progress. EDIT: Shiiiit I accidentally swapped NSMBe and Dirbaio's BG tiler, so my post made no sense at all. >.< |

Actually, yeah. I've tried to rerip a couple of them. Turns out I had reduced the background size on most of them to be small enough to use 320 tiles or fewer (and repeated the background so it's still 512x512), so this actually doesn't help for these. That said, this program is still excellent. I had a background that I didn't like how it turned out, but I re-ripped it yesterday with this and it's pretty good. ♪♫♩♬ |

Did you insert it as a top or bottom background?
