There are 3 mmp programs on the current network:

• RAS's BaB
  It seems that it can't package 32bpp images, and it can only be packaged and cannot be unpacked.

• mmp_dump
  The command line starts, it can only unpack and can not be packaged, can not unpack 32bpp images.

• SGIMMPWorkstation
  By SGI. All features are perfect.
  packing/unpacking/deleting/adding/generating dat... support 8/24/32bpp, is a very convenient software.
  The only drawback is batch processing.

I hope there is something that can be handled in a more convenient way, so mmp_convert was born.:sunglasses:

• mmp_convert.py
  packing/unpacking/deleting/adding/generating dat/convert bpp/convert format... support 8/24/32bpp, batch automation and multi-process.
  The most important thing: the python environment

1. You need a Python environment (I use python 3.7)
2. Check if you have pip installed
   Enter pip --version in cmd
3. Install third-party library PIL
   Enter pip install Pillow in cmd
4. Drag the file or folder you want to process to the .bat file

P.s. Adjust the variable CPU_COUNT in the mmp_convert.py file to reduce cpu usage.

• bmp, jpeg, png, webp

• Unpacking MMP
• 1 required parameter
  --path: File or folder paths.
• 1 optional parameter
  --bpp: 8/24/32, default bpp from the original mmp.

• Pack/add images to MMP
• 1 required parameter
  --path: File or folder paths.
• 2 optional parameter
  --bpp: 8/24/32, default bpp from the original image.
  -y: overwrite, no -y does not overwrite.

• Convert MMP to other bpp
• 1 required parameter
  --path: File or folder paths.
• 3 optional parameter
  --bpp: 8/24/32, default 8.
  -max: resolution(Allow the largest edge, ignoring the image below the maximum).
  -y: overwrite, no -y does not overwrite.

32bpp-1024 To 8bpp-768:

• Generate a list of names to dat
• 1 required parameter
  --path: File or folder paths.

MMP To Dat:

• Delete images in mmp file
• 1 required parameter
  --path: File path.
• Enter multiple numbers separated by spaces to delete images.

MMP Remove:

• Image format convert
• 2 required parameter
  --path: File or folder paths.
  --output: Output format.
• 5 optional parameter
  --bpp: 8/24/32/Alpha, default bpp from the original image.
  -max: resolution(Allow the largest edge, ignoring the image below the maximum).
  --scale: Zoom factor, such as 4x or 0.25x.
  --quality: JPG image quality, default is 95.
  -y: overwrite, no -y does not overwrite.

BMP To PNG:

• Files Unification
  Uniform name/Uniform format/File remapping
• 1 required parameter
  --path: File or folder paths.
• 2 optional parameter
  --format: File format
  -kl: Extract the file in the specified format and maintain the directory hierarchy; otherwise give the file a unique ID and move to the same directory

Uniform name:

File remapping:

Uniform format:
None

• Image channel conversion (RGB and BGR)
• 1 required parameter
  --path: File or folder paths.
• 1 optional parameter
  --quality: JPG image quality, default is 95.

[+]Added functionswapBGR - Image channel conversion.
[^]``toImg increases the image quality optional parameter quality (applies to JPG format).

[+]Added function StdUnify - Files Unification(Uniform name or uniform format).
[+]Increase the toImg function's parameter --scale, scale the image proportionally.
[^]Fix tobpp MMP files of the same bpp cannot convert resolution.

[+]Added function remove - Delete images in mmp file.
[+]Added function toImg - Image format convert.
[+]Added font color, green progress bar.

[^]Fixing images with Alpha directly converted to 8bpp causes distortion (first converted to 24bpp and then to 8bpp).
[^]Improve pre-parsed files.
[^]Other code modifications.

• The mmp_convert program provides four functions
  unpacking, packing, tobpp, todat
• Support multi-process to quickly process files.

• If the error Command line is too long, it is because there are too many files selected. Put these files in a folder and drag the folder to handle it. The result of this is that only one parameter folder path is passed.
