Hi,
For a long time I've been searching for a tool to combine my bmap sequences into one file to work with Game Studio's requirements for animated sprites and windowed panels.

Failing to find one, or may be I was a bit lazy searching enough, I developed this software to produce the needed effect.
It is still in beta testing so please contact me for any comments or suggestions
Bmap Merger
Thank you

needs a few docs i think.

Have you tried Irfan? Freeware tool that I use to put images togeatehr for like sprites or creatign your skycube maps.

Hi,
I've just downloaded Irfan View.. Is this the software you're talking about? I wasnt able to get a sequence of bitmaps into one file though, unfortunately there's no help file attached.

As for mine anyways, the whole point is that you browse your input directory, then choose the first file in the sequence. Then you choose your destination file, and the range you want. For e.g. choose Example_001.bmp as your input, and range from 1 to 100, so an image with all bmaps from Example_001.bmp till Example_100.bmp will be created with all images adjacent to each other.
Sorry I dont know how to upload images or files to the forum or else I would have clarified more.
Thank you

for irfan goto Image -> Create new panoramic

select horizontal radial button

open folder all your images are in for your sprite

select them all and Open

they should now be in the previous window list. put them in order my selectign iamges and using move up down buttons

once in the order you want them hit create image

then save in the format you want it

Hi Grimber,
I was having a break for a couple of days so I didnt have a chance to thank you for your assistance. My problem was that I was using IrfanView thumbnail and not the real software .
I was looking for such a software for long, but my real problem was that I didnt know what keywords to search for. Anyways It's clear that IrfanView is the needed software for the job.
Thank you.
