TileConv is an advanced tiled image compressor and decompressor for MOS and TIS files used in Infinity Engine games (such as Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale or Planescape Torment). It uses modern compression algorithms to achieve great compression ratios without noticeable degradation in quality. The average compression size lies around 20-30% of the original size and will never exceed 40% when using default compression options.

The tool can convert between the following formats:

TIS files will be automatically compressed into the TBC format.
MOS files will be automatically compressed into the MBC format.
TBC files will be automatically decompressed into the TIS format.
MBC files will be automatically decompressed into the (compressed or uncompressed) MOS format.
TIZ files will be automatically decompressed into the TIS format.
MOZ files will be automatically decompressed into the (compressed or uncompressed) MOS format.

TileConv is aimed at modders who wish to provide their own TIS or MOS files without having large downloads. The package contains the source code as well as binaries for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. The latest source code is also available on GitHub. A detailed description of the TBC and MBC formats can be found here.

This package also contains a collection of WeiDU functions to deal with tileconv executables for multiple platforms and architectures, including a detailed description and example code.

Usage

Spoiler

Usage: tileconv [options] infile [infile2 [...]]

Options:
  -e          Do not halt on errors.
  -s          Be silent.
  -v          Be verbose.
  -t type     Select pixel encoding type.
              Supported types:
                0: No pixel encoding
                1: BC1/DXT1 (Default)
                2: BC2/DXT3
                3: BC3/DXT5
  -u          Do not apply tile compression.
  -o output   Select output file or folder.
              (Note: Output file works only with single input file!)
  -z          MOS only: Decompress MBC into compressed MOS (MOSC).
  -q Dec[Enc] Set quality levels for decoding and, optionally, encoding.
              Supported levels: 0..9 (Defaults: 4 for decoding, 9 for encoding)
              (0=fast and lower quality, 9=slow and higher quality)
              Specify both levels as a single argument. First digit indicates
              decoding quality and second digit indicates encoding quality.
              Specify '-' as placeholder for default levels.
              Example 1: -q 27 (decoding level: 2, encoding level: 7)
              Example 2: -q -7 (default decoding level, encoding level: 7)
              Example 3: -q 2  (decoding level: 2, default encoding level)
              Applied level-dependent features for encoding (DXTn only):
                  Iterative cluster fit:   levels 7 to 9
                  Single cluster fit:      levels 3 to 6
                  Range fit:               levels 0 to 2
                  Weight color by alpha:   levels 5 to 9
              Applied level-dependent features for decoding:
                  Dithering:               levels 5 to 9
                  Posterization:           levels 0 to 2
                  Additional techniques:   levels 4 to 9
  -j num      Number of parallel jobs to speed up the conversion process.
              Valid numbers: 0 (autodetect), 1..256 (Default: 0)
  -T          Treat unrecognized input files as headerless TIS.
  -I          Show file information and exit.
  -V          Print version number and exit.

Supported input file types: TIS, MOS, TBC, MBC, TIZ, MOZ
Note: You can mix and match input files of each supported type.

Note: The tileconv executables have been compressed to reduce file size. Some overzealous antivirus tools may trigger false alarms because of this.

What's New in Version 0.6d (See full changelog)

Fixed a bug in the WeiDU library that could fail HANDLE_TILECONV with large output files
