'''''2DF''''' converts Windows 256 color BMP or PCX files to different [[Dark Forces]], [[X-Wing]] and [[TIE Fighter]] files. Also assembles [[.LFD]] files. Comes together in a package with [[DF2]], which converts them back again.

==Format==

 2DF [switches] [file1] [file2] [file3]

==Notes==
* File1 - BMP file
* File2 - [[.FME]] or [[.BM]] file. 
* File2 - [[.PAL]] file
* If you omit File3 (PAL file), no palette conversion is performed

==Switches==
* /U - uncompressed (FME).
* /F - force [[.FME]] output
* /D - force DELT ([[.DLT]]) output
* /B - force [[.BM]] output
* /X - force PCX input
* /T - transparent (BM)
* /M - File1 is a makefile (see BMPDF.TXT and MAKEFILE.TXT)
* /L - allow to use light-in-the-dark colors in palette conversion
* /0=# - set color # a background (transparent) color in DELT and ANIM
* /S - solid bitmap - no transparent areas

==Examples==
* 2df /t bars.bmp bars.bm
* 2df /f vader01.bmp vader01.fme /l
* 2df /f/u redkey.bmp redkey.fme
