Build 0104 is going to be a big one, with "Export to ROM" implemented for the stuff you can edit right now. Here's the status of these things (will update as things move forward): | Routine written? | Tested? | Comment | | Map pieces | yes | yes | There's an issue with space allocation that causes maps to extend a little further than they need to, but for now it works alright. | | Composite maps | no | no | still not parsing everything out correctly, so a write-back routine isn't doable yet. I might put in a partial one for all the stuff I know at the moment. | | Font | yes | yes | done and tested on 12/9. this code already existed before. | | Music | yes | yes | most of the tricky shit is already written from years ago-just need to rewrite it for the way I handle roms now. 12/10 - implemented and tested | | Samples | yes | yes | 12/16 got this working, and better than it was before. | | Events/Dialogue | yes | yes | written and tested 12/13. | | World Map | yes | yes | haven't gotten to this yet. most of it should be easy. world map data uses a pretty simple RLE compression.. the rest of the shit is not compressed. 12/10 this is almost working tonight. world map data compression is working-ish but buggy, and all the other stuff (palettes, etc) works fine. 12/12 finally got this damn thing working. | | Tileset palettes | yes | yes | | | Tileset16 | yes | yes | | | Tileset8 | yes | yes | just wrote this tonight (12/8). tested and fixed 12/9 | | Map tiles | yes | yes | |
Also, various bugfixes, and the picturebox in the map piece editor resizes as you resize the window now. It's still not particularly easy to see what you're doing when you edit these. I have some ideas that I'll play with later. |

It looks much better with fixed width fonts. Maybe someday I'll incorporate Fusoya's VWF hack if he approves. Here's Lucida Console (another FWF) Attachments:

And Verdana (A VWF) - I had to scale it down to 7 point to fit stuff like the capital W. Attachments:

Music works. Here's an example conversion of about 75% of the boss theme from FF7 that I did a while back. Never did get around to finishing it. Attachments:

Events, dialogue, and names of things work (and can take up as much space as you need, like everything else) Attachments:

Sometime soon after all this stuff is straightened out, probably. Doesn't seem like a terribly difficult one.

BTW, couldn't you just code the VWF as a feature yourself from scratch? If your editor makes the modifications itself you wouldn't need the patch or the permission if you do not use the other as a base. You could then improve or clean up the code and make it your own. |

Eventually, sure, but it would take a bit and I'm working on a lot of stuff as it is. That said, if anyone wants to donate their own VWF implementation, do feel free  |

While my assembly isn't that good I'm sure there are plenty of hackers here who can get this done "for the cause". |

Samples work. Last thing left is composite maps. I'll probably just restrict editing for things I'm unsure about for now (layer ordering, transparency, etc), and let you move things like NPCs and map pieces. Fix the rest later.
That way you can export most things in build 104.
