Blood Pill - a set of tools to manipulate with .BIG files. It can be used to view the data stored in '''pill.big''' - resources file of Blood Omen. Blood Pill is able to decode into readable format all filetypes used in the game: speech sound, tile, sprite, tim graphich and more. Only Blood Omen .BIG files are supported.

===Features===

* Packing/Unpacking of .BIG files for PC and PSX versions of BO
* TIM <-> TGA autoconversion during packing and unpacking
* RAW ADPCMWAV/OGG autoconversion during packing and unpacking
* Unpacking sprites (enemies and objects) to separate TGA pictures
* Unpacking tiles (level textures) to TGA
* Unpacking the multiobject files ('merged' files that is used on some entries in BO)
* .JAM video to .TGA decoding
* Decoding VAG files to WAV PCM/OGG sounds
* Decoding levels to TGA images (with optional developer info shown)
* Patching .big files
* Providing support for Blood Omnicide installation

===Usage===

Blood Pill is a commandline utility. To get available command list, execute it without any parms. Also there is some sample .bat files in samples/ folder, covering most useful stuff:

* extract_file.bat : unpacks one file from pill.big.
* list.bat : create a listing file from pill.big
* unpack.bat : unpack pill.big with all conversions enabled.
* unpack_raw.bat : unpack pill.big with pure filetypes (no conversions).
* unpack_fortranslating.bat : unpack with TIM->TGA and ADPCM->WAV conversion which is useful for making your own BO PC localization.
* unpack_oggsounds.bat : unpack pill.big with all conversions and sound files being converted to Ogg Vorbis.
* pack.bat : create a new pill2.big based on 'bigfile' folder (converts back all tga and wav).
* tga2tim(test.tga).bat : TGA->TIM conversion
* tim2tga(test.tim).bat : TIM->TGA conversion
* tim2tga(test.tim)_16to24.bat : TIM->TGA conversion with 16->24 bits conversion enabled

To use sample bat files copy them to directory that contains bpill.exe (pill.big should be there too).
