Mass .dc6 conversion

This would be the forum for questions about how to work with mod making tools which can be a problem of its own.

Mass .dc6 conversion

Post by TehFisharmahn » Sat Jan 18, 2014 4:17 pm

Helloes

I downloaded hundreds of graphics from the site, most of them are .dc6, but there are some (many epic ones), which are .bmp only. And by "some" I mean exactly 1091. Converting them with DC6Maker or DC6 Creator is kinda problematic (one at a time, too much clicking), so I searched for something more global. I found one program, CellConv, but, for some reason, it doesn't work at all. All it does is convert the test.bmp file it had with itself and some pretty random .pcxs (it converted only 17 of 1091, not too much). When I converted everything to .pcx, CellConv wouldn't work either. So, is there anything I'm doing wrong? Or is there any program, that can help me?

Thanks in advance!

define "doesn't work"? is there an error etc? also you might want to try dc6con, you can get it from the filecenter.

As I checked, the dc6con isn't too global. I can't download it ATM, so I can only base on the comments I found under the download link.

Anyhow, about the "doesn't work".

CellConv says to get all the files I want to convert to it's folder and then open it - it will convert all the .pcx into dc6 (and bmps to dc6 too, so it says). All it does is convert the "test.bmp" and ignore the rest. I tried some options but to no avail. It simply says "0 .pcx and 1 .bmp converted to .dc6" despite 1000 files in the folder.

try dragging all the files onto the CellConv executable; and I'm not sure what you mean by dc6con not being "too global", both the download link for Dc6Con and its GUI manager work for me:

Well, actually, your program is kinda great. Much better than all those I found. Very thanks, sir! :D

not my program in any way, but next time you have these problems, I suggest you look through what is available in the filecenter.
