RSB image files are what Rogue Spear
uses to store all of its images. RSE has released Photoshop plugins for RSB
files but unfortunately not everyone can afford to use Photoshop or a compatible
image editor. To solve this problem, the RSB/BMP Converter has been created.
Now, if you want to make a new armpatch or edit any graphic in Rogue
Spear, all you need is at least MS Paint! This program will take any Rogue Spear
RSB file and convert it to a 24-bit BMP file. Also, you can take a 24-bit BMP
file and convert it to a RSB file to be used in RS. Not only can it convert
these file types, it can convert them extremely fast. It
can do around 45megs of images in only 25 seconds.Note: This only works
on Rogue Spear RSB's and not Rainbow Six RSB's. Also, BMP images must be
24-bit.
Usage:
Step 1: Click "Add Files" to add RSB files, BMP files, or both RSB & BMP files to the list of files to
be converted.
Note: If you wish, you may select multiple files at once via the open file dialog by holding "Ctrl" and clicking
on each file you wish to add to the batch list.
Step 2: If you wish to convert only one file, select the file you wish to convert, and hit "Convert". If you wish to convert
all files on the batch list, hit "Convert All".
If the currently processing file is a BMP, a RSB file will be produced. If the currently processing file is a RSB, a BMP file will
be produced. The location of the output file is the same as the location of the input file.
Example:
Let's say I have 2 files in my conversion list:
c:\pictures\image.bmp
c:\retreat\patch.rsb
After hitting "Convert" or "Convert All", the following files will be created:
c:\pictures\image.rsb
c:\retreat\patch.bmp
Step 3: If you wish to remove any item from the batch-list, simply select the item you wish to remove then press
"Remove".
Bug Reporting:
As of initial release, no known bugs are present. Several hundred megabytes of data were converted to and from
BMP/RSB with no problems.
Be aware, ONLY 24-BIT BITMAPS ARE SUPPORTED! Error checking and bit-depth checking have been added to
assist in "reminding" you of this, but PLEASE do not send e-mail reporting that your 8-bit bitmaps are unable to be
converted.
If you believe you have discovered a bug, PLEASE report it along with a detailed description to
