TileConv - A MOS/TIS Compressor

• Fixed a bug in output filename generation.
• Prevent overwriting input files by output files.

Small update: tileconv-0.6a

Changes:

• Added a collection of WeiDU functions to help modders using this tool in their TP2 code along with example code.

New update: tileconv-0.6b

Note: The included collection of WeiDU function makes use of new WeiDU v239 features. The tileconv binary itself is still on version 0.6.

Changes:

• Updated collection of WeiDU functions to v1.1. A detailed changelog can be found in the file a7_tools.tpa itself.

Very nice tile compressor. I went from a 400MB tis folder to a 61MB size folder. Where would I put the snippet for the macro to decompress the files in the tp2 file, in the beginning or at the end?

It depends on your needs. You can decompress the files early in the process if you need them for further operations or you may process them at the end. HANDLE_TILECONV behaves similar to WeiDU's own HANDLE_xxx functions in that regard.

I'll just leave it at the beginning. I have the audio decompress at the end. Just wish there was a quick way to batch compress a folder worth of tis files instead of manually entering each one. I had 76 files to compress.

TileConv supports wildcards just fine. If you have a folder "tis" full of TIS files you can simply call "tileconv -o tis tis/*.tis" to compress every TIS file in the folder.
 

TileConv supports wildcards just fine.

You have this:

Usage:

But the example line is not there ... yeah, it's there in concept... but still. The use of code via example is always better, for a n00by like me.

So a small edit alike this:

Usage: tileconv [options] infile [infile2 [...]] 
Command line: tileconv -o tis tis/*.tis

Options:

Or whatever...

It's implicitly hinted at by the "infile [infile2 [...]]" passage since wildcards are resolved in the same way, but I can probably add a short remark that wildcards are supported, and perhaps a few examples a well.
 

New update: tileconv-0.6c

Changes:

• Made OS X binary compatible with macOS Sierra.

New update: tileconv-0.6d

Changes:

• Fixed a bug in the included WeiDU library that could fail HANDLE_TILECONV with large output files
