DIV ARENA FORUMS

.NET library to load / generate DIV graphic-related files (map, fpg, pal, fnt)

Hi,

I have created a .NET library that can be used to add support for DIV native graphic formats (MAP, FPG, PAL and FNT) to your .NET applications.

This allows:
- Scripting generation of these files in .NET
- Creating tools to manage these kind of files outside DIV environment.

The library supports also other DIV-like file formats (1bpp, 16bpp and 32bpp) and it is my intention to support future DIVDX formats if their specification becomes open one day.

Links:
Project page in github

All source is available under Apache 2.0 license which is very permissive.

You find practical examples such as how to operate with Gtk# or System.Drawing (gdiplus). Fpg / Fnt editors can easily be created. For example:



8bpp files should be compatible with DIV, yet I need to continue testing.



I hope you find it interesting.

Very nice

One of the things that puts me off using mono / .net is the huge download for the libraries, something crazy like 1gb!
