What is?
This is the official guide for using SEImageConverter

SEImageConverter brings all my previous converters into one program with some new features
Each section below is how to use said section.


First step is to download the program:
Direct link here[github.com]

And if you don't trust me compile it yourself:
Github here[github.com]


Note: If you use the direct download link windows wont recognize the program, this is normal.

PS: If you like the program leave a thumb up!
Image2LCD


The first mode is Image2LCD, this allows you to convert any image into LCD panels ingame.

Use:
1. select a file
2. choose dither mode (optional)
3. interpolation mode (optional)
4. Set LCD X and Y
5. pick BitMode (see BitMode section)
6. Hit Convert

When the image is done generating click the boxes in the Image2LCD box and it will copy it to your clipboard to paste into a ingame LCD screen

What is BitMode?

Bit3 mode is using the default SE font Monospace, it has less colors and will look worse ingame
Bit5 uses the MonoColor mod and has more colors meaning your images will look better

End.

my most recent comment may have been my error as ive noticed i can got higher than 9x9. i swear i use to do more than that though. as for the black bars the only thing ive been able to do is change the resolution of the image im using which i also feel i didnt have to do before.

I can confirm that something has changed, do you know if old LCDs in your world exhibited this change or is it only new ones @spartan_722?

If you could further discourse through discord would be appreciated

the image converter is completely broken now. you can only do 1 lcd panel. the place where you type in a number for height and width will not let you put anything there. was working just a few days ago now it broke this way for me and my friend.. this was the best convertor out there

Thank you spacebuilder2020. I chose 5bit without MOD. Now my image is displayed correctly on the LCD.
spacebuilder2020 6 Jan, 2023 @ 1:15am 
3 bit is monospace, 5 bit is monocolor
spacebuilder2020 6 Jan, 2023 @ 1:15am 
make sure you converted the image in monospace instead of monocolor. There are two modes, one requires the monocolor font (a mod), the other is vanilla.

If I change the font to monospace and change the font size to 0.100, it just shows a white band.
It will look like this:

You have to change the LCD text to the monospaced font just like it says at the bottom
