Hi, how do I exactly use this tools? the instructions are really not clear for me or maybe im just being silly.

I needed to play around with the tool as well, since the documentation is a little shallow:

This is a Command Line Tool (CLI), that means that you have to open it via console/terminal. The .yaml file controls the behaviour of the tools. For the recolor tool (the one I've used) the application will look for two folders by default. "_reference" for the source images the data will be constructed from and "_recolor" where the items to be recolored and the result images are placed. Since this was written with Time Fantasy in mind, the suffix (file name ending) the tool is looking for is "_tf.png" and converted images will have "_e.png" in the end. If you want all images in your "_recolor"-folder to be converted, set the originalSuffix to ".png".

If you just start the recolor-tool, it will create the necessary files and folders you can fill then later.

I hope this helped a little :)

Hey, thank you for chiming in! I'll try to improve documentation soon by recording short videos on its usage, hope that will help better.

No worries, I just figured it out and thought I share my experiences :D I think videos would be overkill. A short pdf or a section "usage" in the readme should do the trick :) And maybe clarify in the description that this is not an application with GUI. And also awesome job! This is exactly how I wanted to tackle the problem but never had the time to implement it XD

Thank you!

Sorry for delay with response - was mostly offline during weekend. For more detailed instructions on recolor tool you can check comment from Estraban. I'm also planning soon to record short videos to show example usage, hope that will help as well.
