Kostya's Boring Codec World

I’m not yet ready to release it but it’s a good time to tell what I’ve been working on (and intend to keep working for a while).

What should follow a political rant that nobody would read?

Late (and still great) Sir Pterry was a writer who wrote great footnotes as well as the books to contain them (name any other author who put a footnote even into the book title!).

There’s an Argentinian game called La Mágica Aventura del Cine or (The Magical Movie Adventure in English language release) which has animations in ordinary and custom FLI format.

I’ve finally finished adding Knowledge Adventure movie v2/v3 support to na_game_tool—just a couple of formats more and I can make a release.

While I’m still preparing next na_game_tool release (still a couple of codecs to RE and implement!)

While I have time I’m preparing the next release of na_game_tool, which involves REing formats (of course!).

Pre script: I’ll try to keep this post above the rest for obvious reasons and you should find newer posts about the usual stuff below.

I semi-jokingly say that that Alsace deserves to be called Südpfalz since the cultural border there is not clear unlike the country borders.

So I’ve finally implemented NeXT Micro Wavelet decoder (and updated git bundles on the site while at it) and the codec turned out to be even more interesting than on the first glance.

Just couple of years ago I had a small rant about German RLE-based codecs named *PEG.
