I threw together a quick shell script to convert people’s GIFs to Game Frame BMPs:
#!/bin/bash GIF="$1" TMPDIR=$(mktemp -d 2>/dev/null || mktemp -d -t 'gifconvert') # Get frame count for gif - last frame is n-1 #FRAMES=$(identify -format %n "$GIF") # Pull full frames from gif convert "$GIF" -coalesce $TMPDIR/%d-"$GIF" montage $TMPDIR/*.gif -mode concatenate -type truecolor -tile 1x "$(echo "$GIF" | sed 's/\.[gG][iI][fF]$/\.bmp/')" ls -l "$(echo $GIF | sed 's/\.[gG][iI][fF]$/\.bmp/')"
Depends on ImageMagick. I’m at work so I haven’t had a chance to test the results out on my frame yet. Still a lot of polish that should go into it. For example it assumes all frames have the same delay. Will add some logic to try and account for that.
Here’s what I converted so far:
-rw-r--r-- 1 westlund2 45916 1674 Jul 23 10:22 BlueKeyCard.bmp -rw-r--r-- 1 westlund2 45916 12426 Jul 23 10:22 Bobomb.bmp -rw-r--r-- 1 westlund2 45916 27786 Jul 23 10:22 Boo.bmp -rw-r--r-- 1 westlund2 45916 25482 Jul 23 10:22 BulletBill.bmp -rw-r--r-- 1 westlund2 45916 10890 Jul 23 10:22 DoomMarineFace.bmp -rw-r--r-- 1 westlund2 45916 4746 Jul 23 10:22 Doomhelm.bmp -rw-r--r-- 1 westlund2 45916 22410 Jul 23 10:22 Exploder.bmp -rw-r--r-- 1 westlund2 45916 4746 Jul 23 10:22 Floater.bmp -rw-r--r-- 1 westlund2 45916 10122 Jul 23 10:22 Goomba.bmp -rw-r--r-- 1 westlund2 45916 3210 Jul 23 10:22 LinkCactus.bmp -rw-r--r-- 1 westlund2 45916 4746 Jul 23 10:22 LinkSkullBouncer.bmp -rw-r--r-- 1 westlund2 45916 3210 Jul 23 10:22 MarioBlock.bmp -rw-r--r-- 1 westlund2 45916 30858 Jul 23 10:22 MarioCapeGuy.bmp -rw-r--r-- 1 westlund2 45916 6282 Jul 23 10:22 MarioCoin.bmp -rw-r--r-- 1 westlund2 45916 6282 Jul 23 10:22 MarioCoin2.bmp -rw-r--r-- 1 westlund2 45916 3210 Jul 23 10:22 MarioShell.bmp -rw-r--r-- 1 westlund2 45916 7818 Jul 23 10:25 Space-Invader.bmp -rw-r--r-- 1 westlund2 45916 6282 Jul 23 10:22 Walker.bmp
All appear to be under the max resolution – with MarioCapeGuy.bmp coming the closest.
I’ve attached a couple of my first passes. I’ll report back on their functionality when I get home.

#!/bin/bash GIF="$1" TMPDIR=$(mktemp -d 2>/dev/null || mktemp -d -t 'gifconvert') # Get frame count for gif - last frame is n-1 #FRAMES=$(identify -format %n "$GIF") # Pull full frames from gif #convert "$GIF" -resize 16x16\! -coalesce -type truecolor $TMPDIR/%d.bmp convert "$GIF" -coalesce -type truecolor $TMPDIR/%d.bmp #montage $TMPDIR/*.gif -mode concatenate -type truecolor -tile 1x "$(echo "$GIF" | sed 's/\.[gG][iI][fF]$/\.bmp/')" mkdir "$(echo "$GIF" | sed 's/\.[gG][iI][fF]$//')" cp $TMPDIR/*bmp "$(echo "$GIF" | sed 's/\.[gG][iI][fF]$//')" ls -l "$(echo $GIF | sed 's/\.[gG][iI][fF]$//')"
I’ve attached a few sets up bmp files I’ve put together so far.

July 25, 2014 at 5:35 pm #1004johnParticipantI think the issue might be the filename I’m using for the strip — is it just a single file named 0.bmp?
July 26, 2014 at 5:19 pm #1006Jeremy WilliamsKeymasterYes, for a filmstrip it’s just be a single 0.bmp (maximum x/y resolution of 32,000). If you want to attach the file you made here, I can take a look.
