I don't really think there is some prize needed or something.

But work on the editor more first before you decide a name.

The name and GUI are completely worthless until the thing starts to do something that even resembles an editor.

Hint: Stop posting here and go code!
Hint 2: GUI is bloody easy to change!

Good luck to you.

Good luck to you, this is the farthest I've seen someone get (that's publicly posted about) on a YI editor.

Is that VB module for lunar compress publicly available btw?

I don't mean to be an asshole, but I've requested this 999 times... CHANGE YOUR LAYOUT! I can't read a thing, seriously!

EDIT: btw, all he's done is GUI... he hasn't actually accomplished anything regarding the actual editor(s).

Internet explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Mozilla all display my layout just fine, on this and a few other computer's I've used, Kefka.
I know you don't mean to be rude, but just what browser are you using?
You are the only one who has complained about it, out of the 5 or 6 people that tell me they like it. Perhaps it's a setting or something that can be fixed in your browser.
If other people are experiencing problems with it, please tell me, otherwise ...it stays.
(not trying to be rude myself, but this is my first layout that has worked, and made from scratch...I'm kind of proud of it... *sniff*)

Back on the subject of the YI editor...

If the editor is released one day, I see no reason not to post all hacking threads in the Super Mario World forum, it IS Super Mario World 2 after all. Maybe even get Acmlm or someone to change the forum name to Super Mario World 1 & 2 Hacking Forum.

ok, this will be the last post here, until I have something more to show, and yeah I can read his layout perfectly also, im not sure if the LC VB module is publically availiable, ask Fu....well, im off to code for the next 2 hours.(or atleast try to get it to work), yeah that would be a better idea, and yes, it will be released , one last thing, I also plan to release a little demo, when the program displays the first level correctly, to show you people its actually coming along

I cannot see how it could possibly not be available. Writing a wrapper module should be trivial for anyone with a little programming experience. I would write one up, but I despise VB and think it should die a nasty flaming death.

As for your layout CL, it looks fine to me. Of course, I have layouts turned off, so give my statement all the gravity its due.

Just use the cDIBSection class! It's what everyone who is stuck with that VB6 garbage uses.
Personally, I'd suggest learning a better language before attempting to create a huge editor. I don't know anything about Delphi, (because I don't need to) but you should probably give it a try. It's a better choice than Basic any day.

I kinda like "Island Magic"...has a nice ring to it.

I was also thinking of some acronyms, like "YIPE" or "YIPPEE" (Yoshi's Island something something Editor), but couldn't think of any good words that start with the letter P...

I know! Just call it "KAMEK!!"

Evil Peer suggested to me once that the name could be derived partially from your username and from the game you are editing.

"Island Chaos" sounds kinda cool, or "Island Flare" or "Chaos Island" .

KANE... that works too


What about Hyrule Magic, you never complained to the creator of that Editor about stealing anything,... cough, the name.

And if Hyrule Magic came before Lunar Magic, then you never bothered Fu about stealing anything.

Also, I say leave the GUI alone, at least until the Editor is in its later stages (maybe in a year or so). I think it would be nice to give it some awsome looking graphical effects, but I don't thing the GUI is a big deal right now (the layout, the Graphics, or any other part of it).

Sorry, I'm not trying to be an ass, I'm just stating a few facts and a few of my opinions.

I called mine YIEdit. Just a prototype name but it's alright. I got a GUI if you need one, but I wanna see how good yours will be first.

Dude, I don't think kefka was even around during Hyrule Magic's time.

And GUI is a huge deal for this sort of thing. If the GUI sucks, the editor sucks, to be quite honest.

The GUI is the least thing a programmer wants to worry about when his program doesn't do anything at all. If the program is going to do 'something,' then make it do 'something' well. But making it do that 'something' by any means necessary is the highest priority.

A program without a name is an annoyance. A name without a program is a tragedy.
