GIMP VERA Plugin

This tool is one of the tools that I've developed in order to streamline the creation of tile sets and tile maps for the VERA.

This plugin allows you to export images from GIMP directly into a VERA-compatible format. It handles all tile modes, sprite modes, and bitmap modes. It also has a feature to export Tiled (https://www.mapeditor.org/) tile set files which allows you to use Tiled to create tile maps which can be converted to VERA compatible tile map files with my companion tool, tmx2vera (viewtopic.php?t=6456).
This plugin is build to both in GIMP's "interactive mode" (how you'd normally run GIMP) and "non-interactive" mode (running GIMP headless from the command line). This allows you to not only create exports from the GIMP UI, but also to run GIMP from a makefile. This makes for a very convenient, game-engine-like development flow:
