NP, I have been using this to convert a bitmapped background to charset so it could scroll for "Rocky Memphis" and I have to say it was a godsend. I have only used it thus far for conversion, but this alone was worth the update.

just a heads up, it appears you have broken the bitmap import. working in the 10/07 version but in the 17/07 iteration the map created by bitmap import is blank. you get a brief flash of what should be then then the chars get reset to 00

Great program. Thanks.
I'm parsing the CTMv5 header files, and when the Chars have a size of 1x1, they are saved as having a tile size of 0x0 (instead of 1x1).
But the tile size is saved correctly when the size is anything different than 1x1.

Great program. Very useful for drawing maps for SEUCK / Non SEUCK titles, with aid of char plotting and pixel plotting. I used this to build background graphics for 'Nuclear Strike Force'. It helped me produce graphics better. :) Great stuff.

I really like how the program doesn't install anything, can be run right from the folder, A PLUS...

I wish I had more use for a program such as this. Seems VERY simple, which I like (phantom like simple). Placing pixels was stupid easy, but sadly, the program can't serve me in any way at this point in time.

If the features of this program were to "merge" with the program I showed earlier, where charactersets could be created, this program would suit my needs.
Nice work from what I've played with thus far :D

I could probably read the help file for a quicker answer, but I'm in no hurry.

Does this program allow editing the character(s) within the program or will I have to load up ultrafont?

Is it similar to Backdrop Demo Maker ? Where I can create an 8x8 characterset, edit that charset in ultrafont (built in) and put those pieces in places to build whatever character I see fit?

I'm a little lost as to what exactly this program does without having to download it (all of 2 seconds, right?).
