The Gimp plugin to export NDS texture (alpha supported)

[weirdfox]

I just created a GIMP plug-in to export images in raw loadable files for libNDS 3D textures.

After reading a bit on the subject and seeing that raw 16bit colors is huge in the DS's small video memory, I decided to write an exporter for The GIMP based on gbatek's documentation:
http://nocash.emubase.de/gbatek.htm#ds3dtextureformats

The plugin add some new "save as" target for each format supported:

• NDS A3I5 (palletted, 8bit: 3bit alpha and 5bit index)
• NDS A5I3 (palletted, 8bit: 5bit alpha and 3bit index)
• NDS RGB16 (palletted, 4bit index - 16 colors)
• NDS RGB256 (palletted, 8bit index - 256 colors)
• NDS RGB (raw 15bit)
• NDS RGBA (raw 15bit + 1bit alpha)

The plugin is written in Python-fu and can be found here: (rename to .py)

Here's some sample code to load the exported files:

I know this plugin is not finished and is slow, but it's only a first version (and it's my first gimp plugin)!

I hope this will help !
