shp2pcx(1)shp2pcx(1)NAMEshp2pcx - extract images from a Shape (SHP) file into PCX files
SYNOPSISshp2pcx SHAPE PREFIX PALETTE
DESCRIPTIONshp2pcx converts all frames contained in a Shape file into PCX-format
image files. Shape files are used for storage of all visible elements
(from UI buttons to terrain features) of the games Exult supports.
SHAPE is the name of the Shape file acting as the source. Frames con‐
tained therein are saved as PCX files named PREFIXnn.pcx with nn
replaced by the frame number (counting from zero). All PCX files get
their palette from PALETTE.
Before extraction the number of frames, and the Shape's origin coordi‐
nates are shown. Additionally, extraction progress is communicated by
printing a message containing the resulting file's name for every pro‐
cessed frame.
EXAMPLESshp2pcx orc.shp orc std.pal
Takes the frames contained in the Shape file orc.shp, and saves
them with the palette from std.pal into PCX files orc00.pcx,
orc01.pcx, orc02.pcx, etc.
