qdc6

Diablo 2 dc6 image converter using Qt framework.

Using

Check the help message for details.

You can find palettes in d2data.mpq under data\global\palette\*. The default one already embedded in the application is data\global\palette\units\pal.dat.

Building

You will need:

1. C++11 compiler.
2. Qt 4 or higher.
3. Optionally: CMake.

To build from GUI, simply open qdc6.pro, qdc6.qbs or CMakeLists.txt in Qt Creator. The following instructions are for command line.

qmake

Standard qmake approach. Create build directory anywhere you like and run

/path/to/qmake /path/to/qdc6.pro

If you want to build with SVG support (requires respective Qt module), also pass CONFIG+=svg parameter:

/path/to/qmake CONFIG+=svg /path/to/qdc6.pro

After that use jom or nmake on Windows and make on other OS.

Qbs

Standard Qbs approach. From the repo directory run

qbs -d /path/to/build/dir

• pass products.qdc6.svg:true if you want to build with SVG support (requires respective Qt module)
• pass other parameters like -j as needed

CMake

Standard CMake approach.

cmake -B /path/to/build/dir -S /path/to/source/dir

• pass -DSVG=ON if you want to build with SVG support (requires respective Qt module)
• pass "-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=<your Qt directory>" to find your Qt installation
• pass other parameters like -G as needed

After that:

cmake --build /path/to/build/dir

Note: using Qt 4 with CMake requires CMake 3.17+.

• other dc6 tools

Why

Got really fed up with:

• dc6con -> pcx (who uses this format nowadays anyway?) -> ImageMagick® to obtain png
• run DC6Creator under wine and make lots of clicks to convert skill icons into separate images

Besides, none of the tools I know allow saving multi-frame dc6 into separate files from command-line.

And it's cross-platform!
