 bifreader.zip
The first version of BIFReader made by RSW. It's not capable to animate, import or export.
Delphi Sourcecode
This is a small program which can show the STW's bif files.
Basic functions:
1) Read a bif and display.
2) A simple gamma function, or
change the selected colors of the original color table and save
the new color table with the original image data.
3) Zoom in.
ps: the green color stands for the transparent color.
The decoding methods are based on rsw's post in sword dojo.
This Program just provides a simple way to view the bifs.
I don't know if someone has interests in modifing the bifs.
Besides, it's hard to add the draw method (and saving funtions of image data)
in this simple program. I have no idea to add any new features in the future.
If anyone has interests in this area and want to work more,
I can share what I know at so far.
Feel free to use this program.
Hope this helps... ^_^

the color of index 0 is used for transparent color,
and may only meaningful to the editor for background color.
the color of index 255 can not be reset.
