Best way to flip graphic data

[+grafixbmp]

I used notepad to do quite a bit of graphics and now I want to prep it for insertion into code but don't want to go through line by line to put it in backwards. Are there any quick methods for taking a block of binary and reversing the byte order?

If its in binary then use a programmers editor that can do column cut and paste.

Use the "tac" command-line utility to reverse the lines of text in a file. It will be on most linux systems, and you can download it for Windows too.

My sprite converter will spit it out both ways. The GIF needs to be online, you can put it on AA and it'll work, as shown in replies 5 & 6 of this thread.

 

Besides the 8 pixel converter, I have other online converters for the Medieval Mayhem dragon format, 48 pixel graphic and 96 pixel graphic.

The free Crimson Editor can do column mode copy/cut/paste. You could also create a macro to do this and save it.

Just to clarify, I am not referring to reversing each byte as in 00100110 to 01100100 (not this)

 

I mean like this:

 

00011000

01111110

00011000

00111100

01100110

 

This block of data...

 

01100110

00111100

00011000

01111110

00011000

 

becomes this.

 

This is what I need to do in mass. Which method mentioned above would be the easiest approach?

If you have loads of data to convert and you know C/C++/Perl/Python etc. its probably easier to write yourself a little conversion app to automate the process.

Visual batari Basic can do that:

It depends on what's easy for you. If CLI isn't a problem for you, the tac is easy...

 

tac myfile.txt > myfile2.txt

 

...But that example assumes tac is in PATH, and you've used "cd" to get in the same directory as your file.

 

If that last sentence isn't clear, its probably easier to go with another solution.

This literally takes a few seconds in excel. No fancy scripts needed at all. I've attached a short video to show how. Just use 7-zip to extract the inner file.
