TGATool2
Initial attempt at a standalone program for working with the Bmp. Targa and Ace files used by Trainsim
This program does not require my usual DLLs to do the graphics coding but contains all the necessary code internally.
It will let you load Bmp, Targa or a fairly wide range of Ace images and let you edit the image and alpha channel separately using any paint program (initial default - MSPaint)
Save your edited images as 32 bit Targa images or Export as Ace files (using MakeAce)
