Tools

Preface

If not explicitly said, all tools are programmed in Delphi 7 and compiled for Windows. If you want to use them on Linux, you are in a disadvantage. GUI things should probably run in Wine, and some command-line tools can be probably compiled in FreePascal.

I am not going to take any responsibility for whatever happens to your data when using these programs. I can only say that none of them should be harmful - I know it better than anyone else; however viruses are a today internet's threat and I must advise you to scan everything including my programs.

Files

Shades 6.1
~ 600 kB

Tool for editing special colors in pictures for Simutrans. The most useful thing I can offer here now. Usage is simple - you load the picture, use different views to locate these pixels you want to correct and either select areas of picture to be cleaned of all special colors, or add these manually.

Source code (~550 kB).
ImgAppend2
~ 260 kB

Tool for merging multiple images. Very useful utility; if you are planning to paint anything for Simutrans, you always end with lots of files and sometimes you just want to put together animated sequence from lots of files - or anything else. No readme is included, but if you know at least what is a button, no problem...

This tool can not be compiled without additional library Graphics32. Sources available as a separate download.
TBZ
~ 500 kB

A set of tools to create TAR+BZIP2 archives on Windows. Includes two programs - one for command line, which allows compression automation through lists of files to compress, and a GUI one, which is a bit weaker, but compensates its disadvantage by letting user specify the relative path of file inside archive.

Sources are available as a separate download. To compile, get Bzip2 DLL interface from The Delphi Super Page and LibTar from Stefan Heymann's .Free Delphi Site.
FldrDiff
~ 43 kB

A simple command line tool to create "filesystem diff" between two folders. Produces a folder with things that differ between old and new one, and a batch (.bat) for auto-deleting of files removed from newer one.

Sources include renamed unit MD5 by Matthias Fichtner.
BoundCutter
~ 255 kB

This little tool can extract parts of pictures, no matter how complicated shape they have. It comes quite handy as (yet) another supplement for MS paint, because it replicates the "select region" tool of more advanced graphical editors.

Sources available as a separate download.
