Clint Thompson Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I know Jagview is available to view the CRY images (which doesn't work on my Windows 7 machine currently, some error) but is there anything out there that re-converts a .CRY image back into either a JPG, TGA or BMP?

Zerosquare Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 (edited) Well there's at least that: http://www.jagware.org/index.php?showtopic=259&p=12902 It's an image viewer, not a converter, but the sources are included and adding support for outputting BMPs is rather simple. You can either wait for me to add it (probably in a few days), or play with the code yourself PS: don't use JagView, or at least not as a reference. It has color accuracy issues. They're not blatant enough to be obviously wrong, but they are noticeable on some pictures, and you'll go crazy looking for color problems that don't actually exist.

Yeah, I tried that one as well and just assumed it was my Windows 7 environment causing all the issues for both programs. I don't code, no idea what the error means: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+af0l Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Well, it was expecting something and got something completely differrent... It shouldn't be too difficult to program a converter though. You'd need that for Windows, I assume? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So - problem solved?Considering I was the problem, yes - solved Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Zerosquare! It's cool what you can uncover with the right tools available! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerosquare Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) You're welcome Do you still need a converter, or was it the only picture you needed to convert? Edited July 8, 2016 by Zerosquare 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clint Thompson Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 If you end up implementing it that would be awesome - using snip tool isn't very accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You literally have to use the command line to convert things, is that how you're entering it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clint Thompson Posted November 28, 2016 Author Share Posted November 28, 2016 Done! http://www.jagware.org/index.php?showtopic=259&p=12902 Awesome - I followed the link but it takes me to the old download/attachment and don't see an updated version on the site? Even if you lead me to water, I would probably still die of dehydration lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adriano gt Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 You literally have to use the command line to convert things, is that how you're entering it? well, I click on view_jag.exe ... and this appears: sorry, I do not understand anything about it ....

Zerosquare Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 (edited) Awesome - I followed the link but it takes me to the old download/attachment and don't see an updated version on the site? Even if you lead me to water, I would probably still die of dehydration lol I didn't change the post, but updated the attached file. Just download it again. I do not understand anything about it .... Check the readme.txt file inside the archive. You have to run the program from a command line. For example, to convert a CRY picture that's called example.cry and which is 320-pixel wide to BMP format, type: view_jag example.cry 320 cry example.bmp Edited December 3, 2016 by Zerosquare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctorclu Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 well, I click on view_jag.exe ... and this appears: sorry, I do not understand anything about it .... And my English is bad too Slight necro post, but only by a year or so. I want to look at and modify the embedded images in Virtual VCS to change the menus. I believe they are images as I have not found text looking with a hex editor. So for starters I get the error code above when I try to use it in a Wine environment on Mac. I have gotten this to work in the past on a Win98 machine when I was looking at Bubsy Fractured Furry Tales images. Will probably use the Win98 machine I suppose. Image will probably be in the .CRY format or the other obscure format. What utilities are out there for working with those images, or to convert from those formats to say gif / jpeg and back to cry? Without a decompile of Virtual VCS I could replace the old hex data of the image with new hex data to replace the image is the plan. vvcs.rom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctorclu Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Cool enough. That is a .cry to .bmp conversion. Does it work the other way? Any idea why I was getting the load error? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh3-rg Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 (edited) I could replace the old hex data of the image with new hex data to replace the image is the plan. I looked at this and sent you a PM. Not sure what file format it is, but the 256 colour palette is easily replaced I think. The pixels are run length encoded, it's not straightforward as just switching out a like-for-like lump of gfx, but doable. I'll help you when you're ready to put it together is I can.

Zerosquare Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Does it work the other way?No, but there are many BMP to CRY converters. For example: https://www.jagware.org/index.php?/topic/259-jaguar-image-converter/&page=2&tab=comments#comment-12881 http://removers.free.fr/softs/archives/jic+gui-0.2.0.zip and there are several others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
