This is a tool that will watch your RPG Maker project directory for file changes and convert any PNG images that aren't in a compatible RPG Maker 8-bit PNG format to that format, if your PNG does not contain more than 256 colors.
Visit the releases page here and download it.
If your PNG file is not already an 8-bit PNG, it will attempt to convert any PNG format to an 8-bit PNG by:
- Iterating over every pixel and building up a palette of colors
- It will decide that the top-left corner is the transparent pixel (except for Chipsets, it picks from the transparent tile)
-
Follow Installation instructions above.
-
Backup your RPG Maker project into a safe place. This application will change your files and has the potential to break your work.
-
Drag your RPG Maker project folder onto the EXE / binary file, this will start the app and it'll watch for file changes
