Released v1.2.11. Animations of the WSA and VDA format without an initial first frame will now look for other files that can give that information

(also, the Mythos animation's saving logic had a bug that caused it to not accept frames loaded from a range of image files )

[edit]

Released v1.2.12. The "initial state" frame loaded from a previous file in VDA format is now added to the frames listed in the converter, so the resulting range can simply be saved as new animation with the "leave off first frame" option.

[edit again]

Released v1.2.13, with a bunch of internal optimising and added checks on possible problems, and the ability to load missing start states for animations from a single png.

Released v1.2.14, with a bunch more bug fixes:
-A Mythos animation (VDA) chained from a png file will now indicate its first frame the same way as a normally loaded png.
-Fixed bug that could let WSA load chaining skip missing files (which wouldn't load correctly).
-Fixed chunk overflow check mechanism in the VDA animations save process. (I accidentally only checked it per frame, instead of over the whole file.)
-Because not many editors support palette-alpha, indexed images saved as png get a save option asking to save without transparency. This option defaults to 'true' on types with a fixed transparency index determined by the game (like how Mythos VGS files always use index 255 for transparency, and most other games generally use index 0). This also works for saving frame ranges.
-Fixed bug in Mythos collapsed-transparency compression that made it save a wrong header size. (No idea how that got in there, especially since it's correct on the modding wiki where I also posted that code )
-The "Windows icon" type no longer shows up as a type that supports frame input. At this moment it just takes one image and resizes it to four specific sizes (16, 32, 48, 256).
-Fixed focus issues in the save options window; the first option will now be selected instead of the "OK" button.

Added loads of updates (see first post), and renamed the tool to Engie File Converter in honour of the Engineer from Command & Conquer:

Nice name! And great tool whatsoever.

I actually wanted to call it "Nyerguds's Game File Converter", but that sounded a bit bland... so I thought, maybe if I abbreviate it to "NGFC"? And then that turned into 'NG' File Converter

The icon is actually from a rare beta screenshot of the Win95 version of C&C

Released version 1.5.3, adding loading and saving for the Sierra/Dynamix BMP format that uses "SCN" as internal data format.

These are basically 4-bit images with transparency saved separately. On 4-bit games, like The Incredible Machine, this doesn't really matter, since transparency will be index 0 anyway, but in 8-bit games, this means this format can have 16 colour image data, and transparency, despite technically being 4-bit images

NOTE THAT IMAGES OF THIS FORMAT WILL REFUSE TO SAVE IF THE IMAGE DATA CONTAINS PIXEL VALUES THAT ARE FURTHER APART THAN 16 IN VALUE.

As you see, I specifically cleared all other colours from the colour palette here to edit the images without issues.

Showcased on a file from the Heart of China intro, translated to French:

Nell'elenco di compatibilità ho visto che è possibile modificare il gioco del Monopoly. Immagino che tu ti riferisca al gioco del monopolio del 1995 di Hasbro Interactive, Inc. giusto?
