Convert to and from LR2 CIM skin image files.

A CIM file is just a LibGDX pixmap, dumped to a file. This tool simply opens the given file, loads it with LibGDX, and writes the data of that image to the appropriate file format.

The JAR for this application, along with a Windows executable is available in on the Releases page. Note that a JRE ≥ 1.8 is required to run the program through either of these methods.

cimtools [<file> ...] where <file> is a file of type CIM or PNG.

The --to-cim and --from-cim flags can be given if the files do not have extensions for cimtools to use to detect filetype.

The --preview flag can be given to show the converted image in a window. Press Space to iterate through each converted image.

Converting these images requires creating an OpenGL context, and in order to do that with LibGDX, a window has to be spawned. Thus, even when --preview is not specified, a blank window will pop up very briefly while conversion takes place. The LibGDX headless backend does not fix this issue, since running headless avoids creating the OGL context entirely.
