The [[Build tool]] '''arttool''' is handy for constructing ART files in a simple and well-defined manner, but be warned that it causes corruption of your art files in some circumstances that has yet to be debugged.

There are two command line utilities called art2tga and tga2art that allow management of art files.

There are two command line utilities called art2tga and tga2art that allow management of art files
. NB: They contain some amount of hardcoded behavior to fit the art and palette of the game ''Blood''

There's also a replacement for art2tga/tga2art being written by [[User:Kraigose|Kraigose]] based on their codebase which aims to replace these tools using the more well known PNG format with the simplicity of the TGA tools INI file syntax. A precompiled Win32 build and source can be found [http://www.kraigosestudios.com/programming/eduke32-art-tools/ here] at Kraigose's website. A readme file is included in the download, as well as color tables for Adobe Photoshop. Images must be 256-color PNGs at the moment, but that'll be fixed soon. It's usage syntax is similar to art2tga and tga2art, but it supports by default doing ''all'' ART files in batch. More development is expected.
