Is there a screen grabbing program to save into ANS files? Would be nice, instead of graphics mode file.
Is anyone has ans file of those two graphics?

I once coded one to make ansi art for a fake ansi dvd menu. You have to size your file 80x50 pixel and it will use this palette ansi_shades.png
, I have the adobe .pal you need to use. It would be my pleasure to translate them for you if you want. My program dont make advanced character utilisation other than the "empty", "25%", "50%", "75%" and "100%" dither one. Here is a demo of what it can do elz_rulez.png
. I think there is some raster to ansi converters out there if you search.

Did you? 😉

Anyway, I'm not exactly clear if you want to capture a color text mode screen, or to convert a graphics screen to ANSI format...

You can try Grabber- doesn't capture straight to ANS but there's GR2ANSI included which should do that for you. The unregistered version *might* insert a small 'watermark' though.

Wow 59$ for a dos grabber ? I would rather buy doom 4 or gta 5 with that money. Maybe you can use xbincap and convert that popular XBIN format to .ans using acid draw ?

I've actually used xbincap myself- dunno why I forgot about it. 😀 Yeah, it'll work fine.
PabloDraw 3 can also open xbin and save as .ANS, in case Niezgodka prefers to do the conversion on Windows.
