Best way to convert PICTs in Shape File to AO PNGs *LINK*

Posted By: Blayne Date: 3/19/07 11:47 a.m.

Hey everyone,
I need to know the easiest/most streamlined process possible for converting:
1 .PICT (exported from a Marathon Shapes file) ->
-> to 1 .PNG (black Background) + 1 .PNG Alpha Map (Black/White)
... for use in Aleph One.
I've set up some macros in Photoshop so I simply open 100+ frames, and pound a single key for saving... but that was for things like textures. Images like monster sprites are a little more complex.
Any suggestions would be welcomed. Curious: Once every frame is ported into a MML-linked, .png format... what purpose does the "Shapes" file actually serve? Can it be excluded from the A0_only release?
Thanks,
-Blayne
