Half-Life sprite plugin for GIMP

GIMP plugin that allows you to import and export sprites from a Half-Life game. This plugin can also open new version sprites containing DDS textures used in Counter-Strike Online (Experimantal feature).

Requirements

1. GIMP, GIMP 3.2.8

For GIMP 2.10, use the gimp-2.10 branch.

Installation

Download and extract the file-spr folder to GIMP's plug-ins folder: Windows: C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\3.2\plug-ins Linux: /home/<USERNAME>/.config/GIMP/3.2/plug-ins macOS: /Users/<USERNAME>/Library/Application Support/GIMP/3.2/plug-ins

If you can’t locate the plug-ins folder, open GIMP and go to Edit > Preferences > Folders > Plug-Ins and use one of the listed folders.

Usage

To import .spr file into GIMP, go to File > Open.

To export image as .spr file from GIMP, go to File > Export As then enter the file name with *.spr extension and click Export. In the dialog box that appears, you can configure the exported sprite.

In this version of the plugin, export of frame groups is supported only if you have previously imported a sprite containing frame groups and have not changed the color indexing mode. Otherwise, the layer groups will be merged.
