I think this is a really good package that has been slightly let down by the documentation which is why I have only given it a 9 and not a 10.

What I love about this tool is that it automates the tricky business of splitting the image in exactly the right place to fit the Bioware template.
Assuming you know about 2da files, the essential steps are
1. Make a 738 x 251 image as 24-bit TGA
2. Put it in the source folder
3. Run the spreadsheet > Control Panel > Compute New Entries
The output files appear in the dest folder. It's that simple.
This is just what I'm looking for. Something to make my life a little easier, while having some fun! I've found some great images I can't wait to convert and add to my module.
What Proleric said.
Man, I can't believe I never voted on this!
Wry good tool. Wasn't looking forward to the image editing aspect. Automating that part is a massive help
Great tool - very helpful!
Thank you for creating this tool!
After extracting the files to their own directory and opening the spreadsheet, the following error occurs:
Compile Error: Cannot find project or library.
My current version of MS Excel is 2013. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Doesn't seem to work anymore on Office 365. Downgraded to Excel 2007 and still won't work - getting a script error (?) with the macro.
This is some devilish use of Excel :P
And it works just fine even in 2023 using Office 365. Impressive work.
