Converting GFX question
Asking for friend. Quote follows:
---
Morning! Does anyone of you please know a Window C64 converter that would not do any processing and just save data in C64 format?
What's my problem: I prepared a 4-color (so that I can convert to multicolor sprites) picture in Gimp and then ran it through a converter, which decided to just add a 5th color. 🤦♂️

Thank you for quick help everybody. |

Great! Do whatever you like. Something along the lines of me being the most awesome dude in the world, and me proving that it is indeed possible to be smart, kind, talented and incredibly sexy at the same time, will be fine.

I am confused as to why noone mentioned Gimp cbmplugs 1.2.2 - install that in gimp, and save directly as koala |

because then they would need to convert Koala to sprites.. maybe you could use C128 BASIC to do that though.. |

@Burglar As it looks like it needs command line input, I won't be able to use it (see my post on use case and user above), but if someone more PC literate finds this thread later, it may serve them just great. :)
@groepaz Hm, they say that installing Gimp plugins is foolproof. Whatever I did, I either did something wrong or now can't find where to look for the right option. I thought it would be Export, but I either screwed up the install, or am blind.
Either way, thanks for your help or trying to help, everyone. As I already have a tool that does what I need (thanks again, Youth!), I'll focus on actually doing the stuff instead of procrastinating around it. That bloody party starts in a week, and I still don't have a single line of source code. :) |

When the plugin is installed, you should have a "commodore 64" palette in the palette dialog (this is the pepto palette i think), and in the "export as" dialog you can select koala (and many other c64 filetypes) |

In Photoshop you can set pixel aspect ratio to be other than 1:1 It is more convenient than doubling pixels.
I do not know if there is similar setting in Gimp, as i'm not that masochistic to use it, but probably there is. |

Quoting WotnauAs it looks like it needs command line input, I won't be able to use it (see my post on use case and user above), but if someone more PC literate finds this thread later, it may serve them just great. :) Come on, what's so hard about using the command line to run a program with a few simple options? :) |

I can tell you that there were times when I preffered Tortise GIT to command line, and still do in some cases with GIT. For someone who never used it and does't know how to ask when there are problems, it's something hard to adopt. I still ignore most of the verbal output that some commandline thingies puke out on screen. Offtopic: By the way, speaking about command line thingies. DDEV (solely using command line interface) in combination with WSL2 and Docker is a swiss knife for local development, no more local linux server running on local network, that was a hell for me I hated everything about it, including git conflicts caused by samba all the time. I love the times I live in. I love how chatGPT/AI can help you with coding (and not only). Did I say I love the times we live in? Yeah I did, fine. Just a sidenote, I find it quite absurd that there is a war nearby, based on utterly ridiculous accusations and claims. I can't believe it's happening with all these information technology advances. We are so clever and dumb at the same time. Fucking hell. End of rant. |

do you remember a time when you turned on your computer, all you got was a basic prompt? :P |
