Short: Datatype for RISC OS (Acorn) Sprites Author: chris@unsatisfactorysoftware.co.uk (Chris Young) Uploader: chris unsatisfactorysoftware co uk (Chris Young) Type: util/dtype Version: 2.4 Architecture: ppc-amigaos >= 4.0.0 URL: http://www.unsatisfactorysoftware.co.uk/ This datatype reads most old and new format sprites, with transparency. There seems to be no good way of identifying Sprites by looking at the file contents, so the descriptor might be a bit iffy. Let me know if it misdetects any files. The colour depth is always reported as 32-bit, as picture.datatype won't show the picture if I set it correctly. As usual, I can and will not accept responsibility for any damage, loss of data etc incurred through use of this software.
