Raw mode request - Skip similar tile detection
One of aloevera's strengths is tripping me up. I don't use aloevera's timemap feature, I use Tiled for layout.
I use aloevera as an image conversion tool. To lay out the level I start with a "blank" image which I fill up in a non-linear fashion, as I work. When aloevera "discards" duplicate tiles, it invalidates the Tiled indices into the image and there's no way to recover from that. For certainty, an example: If I put in an image of 256x256 at 8bpp, (say it's a 16x16 tiles image) I would like to get out all 65536 bytes, regardless of how many tiles are similar, flipped or not. I want nothing discarded or reordered, I just want the raw values out. I can get around this by making sure every tile is unique, not blank, but a pass-through would still be nice.
