GUI tool to help me use REXPaint files and their font files for games

Indrex

Indrex is a little tool I wrote to explore REXPaint files. It requires a REXPaint image (.xp) and a font image which was used to create the xp file.

It displays the xp file and the font file, as well as the character under the cursor, and provides information about that character such as the ascii character, the position in the font file, and the character's hex representation.

The tool will also highlight uses of a character in the xp file, to help understand the makeup of the file, and it will highlight the character in the font map to identify which character is in which square.

Overall this is a fairly specialized tool, but it could possibly be useful for others. It hard-codes path and file name information, and probably has assumptions about the particular files I use it on, so user beware.
