Summary[edit]

A collection of tools for adding subtitles, captions, or other overlays to Daggerfall VID files. Examples included.

Release history[edit]

Release 4 (2012-07-24)[edit]

  • Added binterp to release.
  • BMP files with oversized BITMAPINFOHEADER structures (such as those created by ImageMagick) can now be loaded properly.
    • If you are using ImageMagick to create overlays, remember to turn compression off, and use the REMAP option in your scripts.

Release 3 (2012-06-23)[edit]

  • More improved BMP handling:
    • Added support for overlays with 2-color (1-bit) palettes, and for using 24-bit BMPs for both masks and overlays. Automatic color mapping is done for both formats.
    • Added an option to force use of the VID palette when loading 8-bit overlays: <overlay|overlay.bmp|REMAP>
  • The filename of the output VID can now be specified using a second, optional parameter of the VID command: <VID|input.vid|output.vid>
    • The file will be backed up if it already exists.

Release 2 (2012-06-16)[edit]

  • Improved BMP handling:
    • Masks can now use 2 or 16 colors, as well as 256; the same rules regarding color indexes (see notes below) still apply, though.
    • Overlays can now use 16-color palettes; each color in the BMP will automatically be mapped to the nearest color in the VID palette.

Release 1 (2012-06-13)[edit]

  • Initial release.

Notes on using VIDTitle[edit]

  • By default, the subtitled VID will be saved using the original VID's filename with 'Titled.VID' appended; so a script using <VID|DAG2.VID> will produce DAG2.VIDTitled.VID.
  • Internally, masks are treated as boolean data--any pixels with a color index greater than 0 (in greyscale masks, anything other than pure black) will cause the corresponding pixels of the VID frame(s) being modified to be replaced with overlay data.
  • It should be possible for a single script to modify multiple VID files in sequence, but I haven't really tested that.
