• Instructed and payed by webfischi

This tool is created with Visual Studio 2022

How to use

This is a commandline tool, so everything is done within cmd or the Windows Terminal, there is currently one bug we weren't able to fix. The game refuses to load solid colors, the workaround will be included in this section.

If you're unfamiliar with VS 2022 there is an .exe for download

This example shows how to extend the fonts:

Step 1

Put atlas.img and atlas.dat into a save location Create a copy of atlas.dat and name it atlasorg.dat

Step 2

Click into the address bar and type cmd (Windows 10) Right click in empty space "Open in Terminal" (Windows 11)

Step 3

Export the whole atlas.img first, you'll need it later

ikenpack.exe -ei atlas.img atlasorg.png

Step 4

Export all sprites

ikenpack.exe -e atlas.img atlas.bin atlas

Step 5

Add or Edit files, for new files you can only use names that are not already used and you will only be able to load new letters

Pepackage the files (currently there are some unnecessary instructions)

ikenpack.exe -p atlas atlasorg.bin atlas.img atlas.bin Graphics

Step 6

Now export the new atlas.img and merge atlasorg.png and atlas.png in Gimp or similar

ikenpack.exe -ei atlas.img atlas.png

Important notice: Only copy over the new/changed sprites into atlasorg.png, remove all other sprites, be careful that the new sprites are in the correct position

Step 7

Merge the layers and overwrite atlasorg.png Repackage the .png

ikenpack.exe -pi atlasorg.png atlas.img

Step 8

Copy the atlas files into the game directory and keep close attention to the crash log located in %appdata%\ikenfell
