Custom Sprite to BMP saving function with Inline

[dreamerman]

SAVESPRITE is great, but if you would need to do some transformations like mirroring, grayscale, disable one channel, add filtering or whatever, this code can be handy:

As this function uses INLINE, remember to attach also this:

Code: (glbasic) [Select]

INLINE
        }
                extern "C" {
                        #include <cstdio>
                }
        namespace __GLBASIC__ {
ENDINLINE

I'd rather use sprite2mem and mem2sprite with savesprite. Bzt hey, good work.

Honestly I forgot about SaveSprite.. And I made this for testing purposes / as exercise, then I looked into help file, saw SaveSprite and just    But since it's already done, so why not to share, maybe someone will need something like this. :-)
