NAME

	dpic, todpic – Doom picture decoder and encoder

SYNOPSIS

	dpic [ –f ] [ –p palette ] [ pic ] todpic [ –fw ] [ –b bgcol ] [ –p palette ] [ image ]

DESCRIPTION

Dpic reads a doom picture formatted image (default standard input), converts it to a Plan 9 image(6) and writes it to standard out. Todpic does the opposite transformation. A color palette is needed for the process; its location is set to /mnt/wad/playpal by default. This may be overridden with the –p command line option. Both programs also accept an –f flag to indicate processing a doom 64x64 flat picture. When encoding a doom picture, x and y offsets are set to the input's top left corner coordinates. The –w flag sets the offsets so as to center the picture when drawn by the doom engine, which is useful for wall patches. The –b option sets the RGB24 color to signal transparent pixels, 0x00FFFF by default.

EXAMPLES

Create a patch WAD (see wadfs(4)) replacing a sky texture. First, create a 256x128 image, mirror it, and convert it for use with tweak(1). % png –9t tuttleglenda.png \ | resample –x 128 –y 128 \ | crop –r 0 0 256 128 \ | rotate –l \ | iconv –c m8 > tuttlesky Next, use tweak(1) to tile the 128x128 picture. Then, mount an IWAD containing the base color palette, convert to a doom picture, create a patch WAD, then launch doom using it. % games/wadfs /sys/games/lib/doom/doom2.wad createfile SW18_7: file already exists % games/wadfs –m /mnt/new % games/todpic tuttlesky > /mnt/new/rsky1 % cp /mnt/new/WAD tuttle.wad % games/doom –file tuttle.wad Create a crude catclock weapon sprite. % games/wadfs /sys/games/lib/doom/doom2.wad createfile SW18_7: file already exists % mkdir /mnt/new/s adding end marker S_END % cp /mnt/wad/s/* /mnt/new/s/ % crop –r 0 0 114 120 –t –120 –60 catclock.bit \ | games/todpic –b 0xffffff > /mnt/new/s/punga0 % games/doom –file /mnt/new/WAD
