farm_fields_tile_texture packer and unpacker released!

[taw]

Interface is very similar to esfxml and groupformations.bin converters.
You'll need Ruby or JRuby - should work on both just as well, and on any
operating system, but Ruby on Windows is always risky.

Example:
$ jruby ./fftt_unpack samples/american_blend_building.farm_fields_tile_texture am_dir
$ jruby ./fftt_pack am_dir new_american_blend_building.farm_fields_tile_texture

Inside directory you'll see files like:

• 0001a.jpg 0001b.jpg
• 0002a.jpg 0002b.jpg
• 0003a.jpg 0003b.jpg
• 0004a.jpg 0004b.jpg
• 0005a.jpg 0005b.jpg

Do whatever you feel like with them, then run fftt_pack to create updated package.

Current limitations:

• Only 80% of .farm_fields_tile_texture files are in this format, support for more might come later
• fftt_pack will quit if it finds any unknown files or other shenanigans, including Thumbs.db, .DS_Store and other garbage operating systems love to create. I'll fix it later, for now make sure they're not present when you run fftt_pack.
• JRuby/JVM are slow as hell to start, it's really blazingly fast on plain old Ruby. It will be unnecessarily slow to convert large number of such files with JRuby.

You can get farm_fields_tile_texture packer and unpacker from etwng repository.

Hi! Awesome work! But I have a question: what is this program able to edit exactly? I mean what things in Empire we could change using this new editor.
