Alright, people, after a few months, a new update : ZII Game Editor 1.12
I created a new thread only to make it clear about the real name of the app... Nothing new about the overworld, but I added enemy data and Link's attack power. You can change Link's sword's damage for all 8 attack levels... You can also change almost any enemy's HP, palette, steals experience or not, needs Fire or not, and the experience type when killed. You can also change the universal experience table. And I added a little convenience table to see how many hits are needed to kill the selected enemy, according to Link's attack power table (under the "Attack" tab) and the level (1 to 8)... Many thanks to Ice Ranger, who added the data to DataCrystal. Yet, I'm still wondering how he found the data for the Rock Generator or Helmethead's floating helmets... Here's a screenshot of the "Enemies" tab in ZII Note that the 301 there really is an error in the original ROM. Try beating the 3rd palace's boss and look at your experience... Any questions ? Ask me... (edited by Trax on 12-01-06 09:49 PM) |

WhoTF uses TIFF files? *attatches a JPEG for those who'd rather not open Photoshop for a screenshot* |

Sorry, TIFFs are natural in Mac OS X...
Just like PDFs... You can retire your file, I "corrected" the error... |

Why not using png? I don't think, there's anything, it can't do which tifs are capable of....
PLUS, it is an open standard =) |

I find it more shocking that more people have posted about the image format the guy used in his initial post (which he has subsequently edited), than his actual application.
Oh wait, I don't find it shocking at all. I just remembered what messageboard I was posting on. |

Dan: Most people check screenshots first, and you have to realize that this is a Mac OS application; not many people here can use it. In fact, I don't think anyone outside of mabye two or three people can, and I bet most of them aren't even ROM hackers.
Which is really the main problem with this -- your choice of using Mac OS here means that very little people, if any, will be able to use it, although judging from the screenshot, it'd be a very useful program... if only to amke the game much easier. I mean, hell, I was interested in at least downloading it and testing it out, but the fact that it, you know, doesn't run kind of stopped me. Oh, and Dan, one small thing: I find it amusing that you're being a total dumbass and posting about how other people are posting about the only media they can even view pertaining to an application that 99% of them can't even fucking run. Shut the goddamn fuck up already if you're just going to come here and whine about the board before I ban you. I don't tolerate it out of other members (when people point it out or I notice) and I sure as hell won't tolerate it out of you. You may be a good ROM hacker, but that doesn't mean I'm going to take your stupid pointless bullshit here. The only reason you even seem to post now is just to whine about the forum.

About the macOS compatibility stuff: ever considered learning & using java? Create your programs with this and (hopefully) EVERYONE here will be able to use it (unless he is a pokemon "hacker" or a dumb idiot). | |||

Originally posted by FloBo For one thing, don't call pokemon hackers idiots, or compare them as such. There are a lot of idiots in hacking areas, SMW even SMB1. (Not that these are all idiots, all i'm saying is each area has it's idiots ) However when you single out pokemon hacking you make it worse for the people who want to try and lea and also for the people who have an interest in it. Now that thats over with, I agree that java would be a good idea.. But it's slow... very slow... and also if the rants from yoro on irc iare true, it is very annoying to program with.

I won't go deep in the subject, but for an editor, Java is not "very slow". | |||

Well that depends on your computer. As a general rule, if you don't have a metric fuckton of RAM, it's going to be noticeably slow. | |||

Originally posted by DarkdataOriginally posted by FloBo Kay. Sorry for that. Think you got my point about not everyone was lucky enough to know how to start a java program not having any file with postfix .exe... And those "could" be mostly people toying around with editors for pokemon, marioworld, Originally posted by Darkdata Especially if you write a simple editor extracting, modifying and reinserting some bits of data from/into a rom, speed might not be that problematic. And if you complain about slow GUIs, use SWT. It uses native interfaces and runs on MANY systems. @Trax: what language did you write your tool in? Perhaps there's a transpiler on the net to convert it into a java/.net/whatsoever program =) |

Yes I take back what I said about it being slow. I should of said that I find it slower than average. I am sorry if I offended anyone.
But yeah converting it to java would make it great for all OS's. |

I program in C and Objective-C, using the Cocoa framework. You can see what the Application Kit library looks like here...
I won't say Java sucks, because if it's well written, Java code can be very convenient. Yet, almost every Java experience I had in my life, either as user or programmer, was anywhere between "uncomfortable" to "total nightmare". I am now deeply traumatized... Actually, the Java framework seems quite similar to Cocoa's, but it takes time to learn a new language, and right now, I prefer to spend my time doing something functional than to work on programming exercices... You could also ask the 99% other programmers who work on Windows what they think about porting their code. I guess it's not so easy since Java programs are scarce around here, especially in a niche like ROM hacking. I guess that at some point, when my prog will grow more exhaustive, someone will be interested into converting the whole thing. Until then, many people stay satisfied with Dwedit's editor... But as I said in other threads, if someone has some time to spare and is interested in Zelda II, I'll share my source code and answer any related questions. Here's a sample : - (void)setAttack It is mostly standard C and some Objective-C methods that are connected to the GUI... |

Originally posted by Trax Heh, a lot of help came from figuring out that dwedit's editor displayed the enemies in order, so that was pretty easy (especially when adding a generator as one of the sprites on the page and generated them). The difficulty came with figuring out the Great Palace sprites since there are so many special sprites. I'll upload the information I found on sprites for the overworld, I keep forgetting about it, but I'll get the information soon. And yep, I'm one of the guys who can't use the editor for the time being. |

Obviously, being a Windows-only guy, I cannot test your program. But the one screenshot posted by HyperHacker there seems to feature a very nice UI.
The only suggestion I would make would be to get rid of the XP table on the right and show those values in the XP dropdown instead of the index. Unless that's a XP editor there. Then I suppose you can ignore what I said. ---T.Geiger (edited by T.Geiger on 12-15-06 10:37 AM) |

Ya... It's a XP editor...
If you want a Windows version of my prog, right now there's essentially two ways : learn to program and do it yourself. Or ask Arthus, the author of the "Sword" project... |

Er, I personally am far too busy programming stuff to actually spend any time using an editor. Sides, I think its great that there are people making editors for the Mac. Actually, I wish I had access to a Mac. I would love to know if my .NET apps work with the latest version of Mono. ---T.Geiger |
