[edit] GTL (CyberBoard Tile Library) to .bmp command line tool
While converting a CyberBoard gamebox to a Vassal module I needed a tool to get the raw Bitmaps. Since the tools that are out there do not work anymore with the new 16bpp Bitmaps of Cyberboard ver 3 and up, I wrote a small command line tool that reads a GTL archive and extracts the contained .bmp files into the directory of execution.
Tool is hosted on my website: http://dabrion.de/forum/index.php/topic,42.0.html
The tool is written ind C++, i included the source as well
p.s.: just found a working version of GTL Editor in Jeff Fishers profile on this page. I recommend to use it instead, it has a graphical interface. http://loakes.game-host.org/GTL-Editor/index.htm
