The internal name is required to exist and have a certain format for the
add-in to appear in the main menu; this should be enforced at the lowest
possible level to avoid unpleasant surprises.
This change defaults the internal name to essentially @INTERNAL, where
the letters of INTERNAL are the upper-case variables of every letter
found in the standard name (up to 7).
The fxSDK will no longer specify the final values for these parameters,
leaving them to the user in CMakeLists.txt or project.cfg, as reasonable
defaults are good enough.
This change adds a new way for fxconv to discover metadata for file
conversions. This complements the existing mechanism of passing
parameters on the command-line.
The new mechanism activates when fxconv is called without a type
argument. Type information and metadata are searched in an
fxconv-metadata.txt file in the same folder as the resource. The
metadata file lists parameters, with some additional flexibility enabled
by the use of wildcards.
This way of declaring will replace command-line argument passing, which
currently read parameters from the unreadable and not-so-maitainable
project.cfg file. Both the GNU make and CMake build systems should use
it in the future. The current way is still supported only for older
projects and one-shot conversions outside of projects.
ObjectData is a stream-like object that accepts bytes, bytearrays,
references to external variables and references to other bundled data to
create structures with pointers without having to write assembly.
Internally ObjectData unfolds into static data and an assembly
instruction. Existing assembly support remains fully compatible.
* Added an ObjectData interface to ease reference generation
* Ported topti to ObjectData (instead of assembly)
* Ported libimg_fx and libimg_cg to ObjectData (idem)
Custom conversions can be used by:
* Providing a converters.py in the main directory with a convert()
function
* Specifying --custom on the fxconv command-line or using a subfolder or
assets-{fx,cg} unused by standard fxconv
Indexed images don't have an alpha channel, so the detection of
transparent pixels in fxconv failed. This change forces a conversion of
indexed images to RGBA to properly handle this.
This commit changes the output structure of topti to a format that
supports arbitrary Unicode blocks, but still only accepts the fixed set
of charsets that was defined before.
This commit introduces the libimg image format, selected with the option
type:libimg-image. To avoid confusion with the bopti image format,
options -i and --image are now deprecated and should be replaced with
--bopti-image or type:bopti-image. The fxSDK Makefile has been updated
accordingly.
To support the construction of a structure that contains a pointer in
fxconv, an assembly-code feature has been added. The structure itself is
assembled with as and then linked with the data proper. This allows the
structure to reference the data by name and have the pointer calculated
by ld at link time.
This is because several libraries have separate binaries, and so are
linked with different command-line arguments, just like gint is linked
with -lgint-fx on one side and -lgint-cg on the other.
This makes it possible to change PREFIX at the last minute when running
install, effectively installing the files into a false packaging root
while retaining the same contents as if installed normally.
This change enhances the style of fxconv by using more classes and
generally more Pythonic constructions.
It also introduces image conversion for fx-CG 50, requiring the use
of --fx or --cg to specify the target machine with -i. The default
is set to --fx to maintain compatibility with older Makefiles.
