Soffish Halo 2 Editor (Bitmap Viewer)
This is part of the Bitmap Viewer that will be incorporated into Soffish.
I am posting this so that the community can help find errors in this application that I cannot otherwise find on my own.

This viewer doesn't have the internalizer or mass injection yet nor does it's injection/extraction work.
The primary purpose is to get all bitmaps readable then such functions shall be coded.

Fixed Features in this viewer:

DXT1 - Working
DXT3 - Working (*)
DXT5 - Working
A8R8G8B8 - Working
A4R4G4B4 - Working
A1R5G5B65 - Working
X8R8G8B8 - Working
R5G6B5 - Working
U8V8 - Working
A8Y8 - Working
AY8 - Working
A8 - Working
Y8 - Working
P8 - Working
Cubemap Bitmap Preview:
- DXT1 - Working
- X8R8G8B8 - Working

(*) - Incorrectly decodes, The bitmap shows somewhat degraded like a low quality JPEG.
If someone has a good DXT3 decompressing code written in C# it would appreciate it if you could post is or send it to me via PM.

3D Bitmap Preview seems to not be working in this build properly, more researching of the format it seems.
A8Y8 - Working?
AY8 - Unknown

Note:
Fixed an issue with previous bitmap viewers when it came to certain bitmaps having thier meta data incorrectly assigned.
All bitmaps should preview 100% correctly now. (A8R8G8B8's, AY8's, A8's, ect)

Error Messages:
Those whom encounter error messages with this application should save the error message description and the Details information as well as what operating system your PC runs into a text file and post that.

Bitmap Errors:
Those who find bitmaps that aren't displayed correctly or are just plain scrambled should please post the details of the tag:
The Tag name, it's format, the submap, and the map it is located in.

Cubemap viewing hurray!
Injection over each part too right? Coz that sounds orsm and a lot easier than the way I remember

I'll see if I can test, but don't get your hopes up too high on any detailed test cases sorry.

Injection is not implemented in this version but is being worked on.

Well, I can't wait till it's finished, will the completed version look anything like this and also have the UI of Engineer. It's the best idea I've seen, wonder if anyone else would use it.
Never mind about resizing, I wanted to know if the [img="whateversizeIwant"] code could do it.
sadly, it does not.

Are you calling Grimdoomer's bitmap editor bad?

You can make an image smaller by adjusting the image size in Paint, Photoshop, or any other graphic editor. Imageshack also provides an option to resize images.

I got the idea from cougar.
