• The xml code on this page is compatible with onisplit v0.9.61.0
• TXMB files are splash screens which we see at level start, and at end (one for losing the level and one for winning).
• A TXMB file hold links to TXMPs which then together make a big picture.
  This is needed because the current max resolution for a single TXMP on PC is 512x512 and on Mac 1024x1024. (9 April 2012)
• The number of columns and rows (TXMPs) is computed at runtime.
  Probably the engine checks the horizontal dimension of the TXMPs until the desired x size is reached and then starts a new row.
  So it should be possible to create also other TXMB resolutions and TXMP constellations.
• They are called by BSL command "splash_screen image_name".
  They can be called whenever we like to. The game will be paused then.

Example TXMB -- TXMBwin_splash_screen.xml (from level1_Final/NoGlobal)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Oni>
   <TXMB id="0">
       <Width>640</Width>

Example on creating a 640x480 TXMB:

• The actual work is to split the image into six smaller.
• Here's a method for Photoshop -- .tif should also work with any other layer supporting grafic programm.
• The six-part colored layer should be a help when the program cannot load a selection.
• Let's drag'n'drop our image into this TXMB barebone (.psd / .tif) and bring it into center position.
• Now we can right-click, load a selection, crop and save it as "..._N" (whereas N is a number from 0 to 5).
• Let's redo crop, load another selection, save this piece, and so on.
