Wesnoth RCX
This is a small GUI application to allow Wesnoth artists and content authors to easily preview graphics filtered through the game's team coloring mechanism without needing to run the game itself.
It provides a simple preview functionality, as well as the option to save the results to disk for other purposes. A built-in visual palette and color range editor allows artists and coders to play around with the various possibilities offered by Wesnoth’s team coloring and generate WML code for use in add-ons.
Installing
Windows and macOS users should use the binary packages provided on the Wesnoth RCX web page. For Windows, no actual installation is required and the provided .exe file will work out of the box and can be placed anywhere.
Users building from source should see the INSTALL.md file for instructions.
Usage
To start RCX, just run the wesnoth-rcx executable. You’ll be asked to choose
an image file (PNG or BMP) to open. Once done, you’ll be presented with the
complete user interface, where you can preview your file under different
recoloring settings. You can also generate recolored copies of the original
image file this way.
The Tools menu allows access to the built-in color range and palette editors. By default, there will be no ranges and palettes listed in them. Any items you create will be stored in the application’s configuration. You can choose to generate WML code for your user-defined palettes and ranges, and copy it to clipboard, or simply save it to a file.
