CMAPTOOL - a colormap generation utility by J Flynn - Freeware, Copyright 1998

CMAPTOOL is a simpleminded utility for making new colormaps. It
provides a BMP file, DOOMCOLR.BMP that has all the colors of the DOOM
palette in it. By editing this image to appear the way those colors
should under a new colormap and applying CMAPTOOL you can create that
colormap lump.

CMAPTOOL /G   can be used to generate DOOMCOLR.BMP should you lose it.

After you have edited DOOMCOLR.BMP to MYCOLR.BMP, say, to create a
colormap from it, specify:

CMAPTOOL NEWCOLOR MYCOLR

The NEWCOLOR.LMP file is the new COLORMAP lump you can include in a
wad. Remember that new colormaps must be between C_START and C_END
markers in the wad's directory.

The /W:wadname[.WAD] switch can be used to base things on a custom palette
and colormap. Wadname must contain both PLAYPAL and COLORMAP lumps. Note
that if /W: is used with /G it must precede /G on the command line.

Some examples are provided with the utility:

DOOMRED.BMP, the edited DOOMCOLR.BMP that produces REDMAP.LMP (all red)
DOOMBLU.BMP, the edited DOOMCOLR.BMP that produces BLUMAP.LMP (all blue)
DOOMGRN.BMP, the edited DOOMCOLR.BMP that produces GRNMAP.LMP (all green)
DOOMCYA.BMP, the edited DOOMCOLR.BMP that produces CYAMAP.LMP (no red)
DOOMYEL.BMP, the edited DOOMCOLR.BMP that produces YELMAP.LMP (no blue)
DOOMVIO.BMP, the edited DOOMCOLR.BMP that produces VIOMAP.LMP (no green)
DOOMGRY.BMP, the edited DOOMCOLR.BMP that produces GRYMAP.LMP (b&w)

Either Windows, or CWSDPMI.EXE in the current directory or path is
required to run CMAPTOOL.
