.FRM converter

drakey

First time out of the vault
<-- hideous freak of nature?!?
Ive been trying to find a .frm converter that convertes mutltiple files to .jpg at the same time, i need all of the fallout 1 tiles converted and there are way to many to do one at a time, anyone know of a converter that can do that? Any help would be greatly appriciated
:D

sorry if this is the wrong fourm for this

Dont worry about it, it's just the starting rank based on your post count, one day you might be able to grow two heads. We were all freaks of nature once around here :wink:

I'm not sure about JPG format but I know a way to convert them into BMP or GIF format, from there you can use a standard batch converter such as pic2pic pro or Reaconverter pro (same program two brands) to convert them into JPG

Anyway the easied way would be to use one of the command line converters such as 'Frm2Gif' and set up a batch operation.

You will need
Frm2GIF - http://www.teamx.ru/eng/files/utils/
Fallout 2 colour palette file, this should be in the Master.dat just do a search for *.pal
Variable Command Line Processor - http://www.nma-fallout.com/forum/dload.php?action=file&file_id=578

You should be able to use the Command line processor to run a batch operation - I think.



I'd just write a batch file personaly
 
grrr, nothing, can anyone tell me what im doing wrong:

oh, and when i run the program frm2gif.exe it will open and i will see the command box, but then it will immediatly close.
 
I would recomend using a batch file with this line and running it

c:\images\frm2gif.exe manmenu.frm

Just replace the path with the path to the program and replace the FRM name
 
I was just telling you how to use the EXE file since you were complaining about double clicking on the program, having the window come up and then close.

do a search on your computer for "*.BAT" and copy one of those and paste it in the frm2gif directory.. Right click on the bat file and click edit. Clear anything that may be on it, and place the line I gave you in it with the proper modifications. close it and save your changes. now rename it to FRM2GIF.BAT and run it. the problem is that when you want to convert a new file you must either rename the file of edit the bat file. if you want to do multiple FRM then replace mainmenu.frm with *.frm and it should convert every FRM file in your directory.
There may be a million different ways to use it(like that virtual command line thingey you are using), but Im just telling you how I learned to use CMD line programs.

If Im speaking too nerdy for you then tell me and ill run it through NERD2LAYMEN.EXE, which replaces 75% of the text with "Thingey"



EDIT: I dont really recomed having spaces in the names of files and directories, because CMD files tend to vomit at the sight of them. if you must have the spaces then do this:

For this example, we will use a directory called C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\FALLOUT ROXOR!!!!one1!\FRM2GIF.EXE

instead of using that, type the first 6 letters and a ~1 like this:

c:\docume~1\fallou~1\frm2gif.exe

Much easier, and ou dont get an error message and want to kill yourself.
 
i understand what youre saying, and i did it... but the window is still opening then closing
 
Copy and paste the line in the bat file your using, then copy and paste the directory address to FRM2GIF.EXE and ill fix it.
 
[red]c:\downlods\frm2gif0.2.0\frm2gif.exe[/red] *.frm
^ thats the address red and the .bat file line
well, it would be red if it worked
 
YES!!! nm, it worked, it was just so many files that it delayed the refresh.
THX ALOT!!
