OK, thanks, it's now fixed. Also found the exact difference btw CD and CE out of this. And by samples "glitching up" are you talking about playback, importation, or what?

I know which function the error is occurring in, but not why or the exact line. I'm unable to reproduce this error with a fresh ROM, so you'll have to PM me the ROM you've modified or an .ips patch of it (this is preferred). Remember, if you decide on the first option you must send it through a private message--don't post the link in public.

Ok I will pm you the rom when I get home from work. If noticed something els too. I changed the belome fight to another pack that I created. At first when my brother went to test the game so far he got there and it was t the right enimies so I thought maybe I forgot to save the pack. Then I noticed it wouldn't save the pack even though I clicked save. I changed the pack then saved the rom. When I posed the rom back up in lazy shell it was the original pack. Finally I got it to save but then I started getting this error when tryig to open the dialogue editor. So I rolled back the rom and exported all the important stuff to the backup I used. The dialogue worked again until I changed the formation pack again. When I pm you the rom I will give you details of which pack and formation and stuff so you can know where I was when it happened.ill mention that I got the pack to save by opening the rom in an older version of lazy shell and saving just the pack formation then going back to the new lazy shell. However I was getting the error before I did this.

OK, I've fixed all the problems reported so far, including a crashing graphics editor on clicking an icon in the toolstrip menu. v3.13.1 should be released in a few days.

It's possible the hack was written using an earlier version of Lazy Shell, particularly v2.x. Earlier versions of the program had badly written code and incorrectly saved certain types of data like sprites. Therefore newer versions will likely encounter errors with hacks made with earlier versions, and/or crash.

Nevertheless I added a safeguard for the next version, which will show a non-exception error message but let the user load the sprites editor anyways.

Is there going to be a way in the future to either properly edit levels 0-3 without the game getting messed up?

I've fixed the previewer problems with levels 0-3, if that's where you were experiencing difficulties. Also, I've revamped the event scripts command collection to contain more accurate and better descriptions and a more user-friendly interactive GUI for adding commands. I've done the same for the animation scripts editor, as well as adding a needed undo/redo feature and the ability to select from a list of commands to create new ones. Note that you still won't be able to insert new commands, but this will (and the undo/redo) will make it much easier to replace commands with new ones.

v3.15.0 should be released some time next month.

v3.15.0
--------------------------------------
Additions:
*Animations: command list to choose from to replace existing command(s)
*Animations: undo/redo feature added

Changes:
*Renamed and reorganized all classes and elements in classes
*Event Scripts: now only shows controls relevant to selected command
*Event Scripts: reorganized and renamed most commands, more interactive
*Event Scripts: some new commands added

Fixes:
*Audio: growling command not loading opcode to numeric control
*Event Scripts: inserting a new event multiple times not de-referencing
*Event Scripts: audio commands not tagged with correct index count
*Event Scripts: some category lists crash if selected last commands
*Hex editor: crash if try to go to address when cursor at offset 0
*Previewer: previewing event from entrance event setting has no event
*Previewer: level 0-3 is no longer corrupted when previewing
*Sprites: fixed incorrect boundaries of sequence frame images

The issues I was experiencing were when I open Level 3 for example and save the exit gets messed up and the rom becomes unusable. I've also been having the issue where the song I have selected for the level keeps getting force changed to Mushroom Kingdom. Hope you can add the ability to edit the names of the songs and export/import level names to text in the next release. Also I've been finding myself running out of event script space, is there any way to fix that or do I just have to delete the old events that I'm not using?

Another bug I noticed is that I can't seem to import SpriteSheet full of molds that I've exported. as well as when I try to import a new mold over an old one it deletes all the other molds.. If I select not to replace molds it adds it to the end. Shouldn't the mold replace go over the other molds rather than delete them all?

Also stumbled upon a new issue, When I import a mold, as it creates a new mold, what happens is when I try to change the position of the mold pieces [I have all of the pieces selected at once] I get an error.

The crash bug's been fixed. The other bug: which sprite # did you export, what options did you choose in the image exporting dialog?

I was trying to Replace Bowser's Sprite so Sprite #13 I exported then edited, both as a single mold and a sheet of molds, only thing I didn't try was having the mold a full tilemap [256x256] but I don't think that should make much of a difference should it? I tried all the options for importation and it either added a new old to the end or cleared the sprite and started new mold. Which options should directly replace the current mold? Also importing the sprite sheet molds that Lazy shell dumps didn't work either..

Sprite sheets were never meant for importing (b/c of their non-table format), only exporting for external purposes not related to the editor. Export as a full tilemap instead. If you want to "replace" a mold just delete the old mold, import the new one to the end, and move it backwards to the old one's index.

Hello I allows me to ask you this

That would be possible to add an option to move the texts of menu on the left And to integrate it into the new version of Lazy Shell?

I haven't documented that data yet but with vSNES it shouldn't be difficult to find and integrate. Expect it in the new version.

Hey, I hope it's not too late to report some bugs.

*Animation Scripts - All commands have two extra zeros on the end that prevent modifying them. Trying to apply animation mods (with or without changes) gives this error:

LAZY SHELL
Setting this byte to this value causes errors.

*Event Scripts - Enable Base Converter and move the mouse cursor over the event script's index number.

____

*Mini-Games - "Moleville Mountain Sidescroller, Map B" mountain background palette does not auto-update (It does if you close and reopen the Mini-Games editor).

*Mini-Games - The Red and Blue color level slider bars are reversed.
____

*Menus - Selecting an animation sequence index that has no animation bugs outs the editor. For example, {000} Mario Walking, Sequence 3 or 4.
____

*Sprites - When I import some molds, it always seems the fourth tile is blank tile.
For example, I used this normal shy guy mold (I saved it in paint to make the background clearer):

It can be set up to be placed in a grid or tile format, but the result is the same, no matter where you import it:

And then again without overwriting any used tiles:

Besides that, this works flawlessly as far as I can see!

*Sprites - Click the paste sequence button without copying anything.

Importing Menus does not import the menu's theme or the animation sequences.
____

FAQ Database
*Under Levels, Space Analyzer, the word "import" should be "important".
"The most important column is probably the "Bytes left" column ..."

*The description for Hex cuts off

*Under Allies in the FAQ, you mention that you cannot start a game with another character unless you change the character's sprite, but this is the only suggestion you give.

[Q:] Is it possible to start with other characters besides Mario?
[A:] You would have to switch the Mario sprite with another character's.

Then, over in Event Scripts you write about how you can switch a character out with another. Could this be added to the question above's answer?
Also, to make it more complete, it might be good to mention the steps it takes to make one member active. First you must add the designated ally, then remove Mario.

I'll try to proof read the rest later if I get time.
____

Suggestions for LS
- If "Remember last loaded indexes" is checked in Settings, then could notes also do the same?
- For editting event scripts, could there be a way to go from a command in a script to the command in their respective category? It could help those trying to learn where the commands are instead of looking for it. (Unless it's already a feature and I missed it!)
- There are two little easter egg animations in the file save menu I was hoping could be added in a later version of the editor. By selecting another game's file and constantly say "No" over 10 times and landing on an odd or even number, one of two animations will play. If done an odd number of times, Mario slouches down like he does when he has the Mute ailment. If done an even number over 10, Mario shows he's irritated.
- Might be a necessity, but in the graphics editors, could there please be a way to delete whole tiles at once?

Sorry this came so late. Been having trouble connecting to the internet the past few days...

.
.

Edit: I found a critical bug in importing menus.
1. Get a clean ROM and have another ROM on hand to import from (clean or otherwise)
2. Next, open the clean ROM. Go into menus and change the track for the menu, and change nothing more. Save and reload the ROM.
3. Last, open up the import feature and import from the other ROM and import the menus.

From observation, it just corrupts the menus. I could probably test it more because it went further than that.

There was another nasty bug that corrupted the audio in the ROM and shut me out from modifying it in the editor. I transferred the stuff onto another ROM and found this menu bug... Seems like everything is OK so far. Will update for if I have more info.

I fixed all the bugs you reported except two:

*Mini-Games - The Red and Blue color level slider bars are reversed.
There was another nasty bug that corrupted the audio in the ROM and shut me out from modifying it in the editor.

In the palette editor? I didn't notice any bugs here. Second bug: was it caused by the audio editor, or are you unsure?

Here's the progress on v3.15.0 so far:

v3.15.0
--------------------------------------
Additions:
*Element name lists can be exported/imported via text file in settings
*Animations: command list to choose from to replace existing command(s)
*Animations: undo/redo feature added

*Event Scripts: added support for several more commands
*Event Scripts: editing a command now highlights command in list
*Menus: option to change X coord of texts in overworld status menu
*Monsters: dump battle script text feature added
*Sprites: new support exporting sequences to animated GIFS

Changes:
*Renamed and reorganized all classes and elements in classes
*Renamed and moved around a few GUI controls/labels
*Animations: now only shows controls relevant to selected command
*Dialogues: font tables all same size, keystroke fields changed to table
*Event Scripts: now only shows controls relevant to selected command
*Event Scripts: reorganized and renamed most commands, more interactive
*Monsters: now only shows controls relevant to selected command

Fixes:
*Changing commands in scripts editors now much cleaner, less flickering
*Audio: growling command not loading opcode to numeric control
*Audio: ties not being sized correctly if note spacing not 100%
*Dialogues: no text view labels for some symbols creates "ERROR: " message
*Event Scripts: inserting a new command multiple times not de-referencing
*Event Scripts: audio commands not tagged with correct index count
*Event Scripts: some category lists crash if selected last commands
*Event Scripts: crash when reset if selected command > old script size
*Hex editor: crash if try to go to address when cursor at offset 0
*Import Elements: menu pointers, sequences not written into import code
*Levels: crash when undo/redo if solid mods enabled on level w/o any
*Levels: mouseDownTile not resetting when tileset subwindow reloaded
*Menus: crash when set select game menu sprite to sequence with 0 frames
*Mini-games: palette not updating for side-scroller canyon background
*Previewer: previewing event from entrance event setting has no event
*Previewer: level 3 is no longer corrupted when previewing
*Sprites: fixed incorrect boundaries of sequence frame images
*Sprites: crash if change X,Y if more than 1 tile selected
*Sprites: crash if paste when nothing copied
*Sprites: importing images as molds should've been ignoring empty tiles

Important to note is the event and animations editors have been cleaned up and the commands mostly renamed to be more accurate. Several new commands added here. Also, more for promotion purposes there is a new animated GIF exportation feature.
