I'm searcjomg for layersprite converter

Does anyone know some converter, which can convert PC graphic format to layersprite? If not, is anyone who can do it?

Dunno about any programs that converts direct to sprites, but you can use a convert program that converts your pc-picture to c64-bitmap and then use multiconverter on c64 to convert parts of the picture to sprites.

ohh i was about layersprites. The best way to convert is to write an own C-program which do that.

Just convert your picture to 8 colors in PhotoChop, or as many colors as you have sprites.. Then you can extract 8 different 2-color pictures from that, and convert them with your custom pc->c64 converter.. Then go sprites.

Hmm.. a bit of a hazzle, but i don't know any automatic tool.

AS HCL suggested you can use most GFX PC tools.
I.e. im GIMP:
get cbm plugin
convert image of 24*n x 21*m pixels to 8 colors.
Select each color and maybe paste into a new layer.
Convert each layer to 1 bit image and save as sprite.

Since this kinda sucks, I recently wrote some python-script to do that. If anyone is in need, let me know.

(I know, oooold thread but just became interessting to me)

I have been also looking for something similar lately, but I was more towards overlay sprite editor.

Is there any overlay sprite editor tool for the C64?

Best would be an editor which can handle multiplexing, so that you can have a big area to pixel on.
