SPRGEN:  The Quake Sprite Generator
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please replace the other TXT file (SPRGEN.TXT) with my new one.  --Jabber

You know there are 3 Sprites (2d animations) in Quake right?  They are the
center of explosions, the bubbles, and the light balls on sticks (don't 
ask:).  If it's in Quake, it must be editable, right?  Right!  SPRGEN.EXE was
DCCed to me a long while ago on IRC, and I recently noticed that it is not
found in many places.  I did not compile this, nor did I use it, so I have 
no idea how to answer any questions.  The script under USAGE should help you.
This works similar to MDLGEN, and was actually with the source code for it.

What does it do?

It should convert a series of LBM files and make a new SPR file that can be 
loaded in Quake.  The SPR file is a sprite animation.  You will most likely 
have to write some new QC for a new sprite, but I would suggest just 
replacing a Quake sprite at first (ie. bubbles.spr).  Delux Paint is a good
program to use to make LBM files.

did not compile it. I don't know who did.  I have not used it, so I would not
be able to answer any questions about it's use.
