|
| ===Features=== | | ==Changelog== |
| *A new build is now available for the GP2X Wiz
| | [http://stealth.hapisan.com/E02/Docs/What's%20New.html View Complete "What's New" Document Here]. |
| *New script commands (1440-1472, see the index in the "Functions" document)
| |
| **Ability to manually open/create and read from/write to data files, enabling demo recording/playback, saving game progress, custom data editing, etc.
| |
| **Ability to load new player character data into any existing player character slot during gameplay, allowing for multiple character types in a single game without consuming too much RAM.
| |
| **Ability to load a new set of global palette colors from a PCX/TGA image file during gameplay.
| |
| **Ability to (re-)obtain a tile map for a tiled level object from any existing tile plane during gameplay.
| |
| **Ability to save standard level layout and/or tile data to the previously loaded or newly specified files.
| |
| **The "_SaveObjects" command now accepts a "register" for the text ID parameter.
| |
| **Ability to modify or retrieve game text strings, allowing for the use of names and passwords.
| |
| *The Tile Editor has been rearranged for better use of screen space and updated for improved functionality.
| |
| **The tiny, hard-to-click arrows have been removed; click options are now activated by left- or right-clicking the option label or its displayed value.
| |
| **The entire 256-color palette is now available all at once.
| |
| **An option is now available to place a smaller, less-featured version of either the Tile Selector or Level Editor in the lower-right corner for quick tile selection and level editing with instant visualization of changes.
| |
| **Palette entries can now be swapped within the editor for easier organization of colors for palette animation or other purposes.
| |
| *An "alias" system has been added to allow more memorable names for commands, variables, settings, etc. in scripts instead of internal ID numbers. Aliases for standard IDs are included and listed in the documentation, and users can modify them and/or add their own for game-specific IDs.
| |
| *Tile animations can now be set up more easily with the new automatic tile animation frame insertion feature.
| |
| *Shortcuts have been added to both the Tile Editor and Level Editor for filling entire tiles or all non-transparent pixels of a tile with any of the four solidity types.
| |
| *Sprite editor "dumps" of player character sprites will now save changes directly to the selected character's character definition file by default, while the external "frames.txt" dump is still available with the option of holding Ctrl while pressing Enter.
| |
| *Sprite editor "dumps" of object sprites will now save changes directly to the appropriate object definition file by default, while the external "frames.txt" dump is still available with the option of holding Ctrl while pressing Enter.
| |
| *When viewing object sprites in the sprite editor, the status element that displays the currently selected set number will now display the set's ID relative to the loaded object definition, rather than its internal E02 ID. The same has been applied to the "Animation ID" element.
| |
| *When viewing player character sprites in the sprite editor, the status element that displays the currently selected animation function will now display the set's ID relative to the player character common functions list or the selected player character's specific functions list, rather than its internal E02 ID. The selection will default to the player character's first specific function, and specific functions
