Note: This topic is aimed at patch creators.
I've recently been noticing some Sphax patches haven't been properly updated to the new format of 1.5 As such I've written a program to aid the transition. You're probably aware that when the new format was announced Dinnerbone released an unstitcher for converting texture packs, which is great for Vanilla but will not help with packs for mods (like Sphax patches for example ). The program is not too complicated. It works with simple config files. Every image is assigned a line in a *.names file with the name the file should have once it is unstitched and using the word "blank" for gaps (to avoid the folder being cluttered with 10 million black squares you'd have to delete). Should you choose not to create a config file you can unstitch the files without one but you will have to manually rename them and delete the black squares. I highly recommend you take the time to write a config file and distribute it for other pack creators. Everyone's better off in the long run. You can check the config files I've written for reference. I hope you'll find this program useful and I hope I'll see more patches updated to the new format.
Cheers!
