A graphical frontend of Dark_Alex's docmaker that allows you to creat DOCUMENT.DAT (in-game guides/walkthroughs) for PS1 games on PSP (or just images like jpegbook / TXT2JPG). Developed using HiAsm.

It is a remake of the PSP DocMaker GUI that adds support for UTF-8 encoding, a functional preview window, word wrapping, indentation settings, extracting graphics from a DAT file, and more.

Features

Preview. In the preview window, you can flip through pages (only forward) by clicking on them.
Support for various encodings of input text files .txt: UTF-8, ANSI, WIN, DOS, KOI-8, Macintosh.
Select Game ID/Game title (for modern custom firmware this option is not relevant, but it is convenient to use for file systematization).
Output image size: 480x248, 480x272 or 480x480.
Line breaks by image width in whole words (can be disabled).
You can save images of finished pages in the program folder (by disabling the option to delete temporary files).
Extract images from DOCUMENT.DAT (saved to the program folder).
Support for in-text tags: Page Break - @pb@
Selecting and customizing the font, additional customization of the font color, adding your own font to the list of temporary fonts: fon, fnt, ttf, ttc, otf.
Set background image: bmp, jpg, jpeg, png, gif. You can use any images, they are scaled.
Background fill options: solid color, color gradient, gradient with a border and "Random style".
Adjust the size of the text indentation from the screen borders.
Drag`n`Drop support: fonts, images, DAT files, texts and folders.
Save any settings and reset all settings by pressing the corresponding buttons.
Necessary files and shortcut are created on first run.
Simple guide on how to use when you hover over the "? Help" text.
Interface language: english, russian.

If you want to add other languages, edit this file and let me know.
