🜲 Samapico Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 I didn't try it yet... I'm not much into dev anymore... But I did take a look at the screenshots and I was wondering... there are 2 different small-asteroid tiles ... SSME could only place 1 while SSLE had the 2 different... Does this program allows you to place both? The purpose to this is for when you need small animated tiles alot of places in a map. Instead of having to create lvz images and place them, you can just modify over1.bm2 and over3.bm2 (small asteroid graphics) to have 2 different available animated tiles... Of course, now that the placement of lvz images is made much easier than in the old NotePad days, that may seem less useful ; but I still think it could be useful to have that 2nd small asteroid (if, of course, it's not already available... since I didn't try the program, but the screenshot shows only 1 available) and I think it would be quite simple to include this. Anywayz, good job on this... I wish I still had time for dev work, no more fecking painful notepad editing... (or Excel when you had to tile the same image 150 times :S ) http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/88/Half-Life_Black_Mesa_logo.svg/120px-Half-Life_Black_Mesa_logo.svg.pngDCME co-developerSSCU 17th Parallel sysop
★ Bak Posted January 2, 2005 Author Report Posted January 2, 2005 The reason there is a 2nd small asteriod is that VIE removed the large asteriod. You're right that it may seem useful to have the option to easily make a repeated animation, but I hope to allow the user to copy/paste both tiles and lvz in the same selection in a future release(instead of just tiles), allowing for the same effect without using a 2nd asteroid. Have to add layers first... so people woudln't copy background lvz if they're zone has it. SubSpace Discretion: A Third Generation SubSpace Client
★ Bak Posted July 24, 2005 Author Report Posted July 24, 2005 Update 7-23-05: Got a new version up on http://rshl.org/!@#$%^&* I added several new features for selections including, flipping the selection, rotating (specify any angle you want, like 22.45 degrees), retiling the selection (swapping tiles), appling the EZ tileset to the selection (so that you can draw your map in one tile, then apply the EZ tileset and have it look pretty), and random fill by percent (so you can fill the selection with the current tile randomly, like 10% will make 1 in 10 tiles the current selected tile). Also added support for the extra continuum tiles, defined here. The EZ Tool is now a tile in the tileset. I added line, square, and squarefill tools too. I also got Undo/Redo working for changes in the selection, map, and lvz. Doing it for things like import lvz or regions is possible in the future, but in my opinion a waste of coding time since undoing these actions is trivial and rare. There are 100 levels of undo / redo. This version also includes many bug fixes, and uses the Cross Platform LVZ Toolkit so in theory it will work on older versions of Windows and maybe even Linux. After a few weeks, this will be the release version (to make sure any bugs I've introduced get fixed). SubSpace Discretion: A Third Generation SubSpace Client
🜲 Samapico Posted July 25, 2005 Report Posted July 25, 2005 great! downloading it RIGHT NOW! http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/88/Half-Life_Black_Mesa_logo.svg/120px-Half-Life_Black_Mesa_logo.svg.pngDCME co-developerSSCU 17th Parallel sysop
🜲 Samapico Posted July 25, 2005 Report Posted July 25, 2005 Hm, I can't erase special tiles with the eraser... And is there any way to delete a whole section of tiles? You can select them with the selection tool, but then.. can you erase what you selected?EDIT: ok, you can 'cut' , ... it works.. but it would be great to see the 'delete' key working The Apply EZ Tiles inside selection tool doesn't seem to always work... I was trying it and it wasn't working... then it was working, but only applied changes when i unselected the tiles... A circle/filled circle tool would be nice too...Also, if you hold shift while creating a rectangle, it should be forced to square (as an ellipse should be forced to a circle if you include the circle feature) That's what I had to say... very nice work man :dualthumb: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/88/Half-Life_Black_Mesa_logo.svg/120px-Half-Life_Black_Mesa_logo.svg.pngDCME co-developerSSCU 17th Parallel sysop
★ Bak Posted July 26, 2005 Author Report Posted July 26, 2005 Update 7-25-05: fixed the extra-tile-not-erasing bug, and added a delete option for selections. I'll fix the EZ-Tile Selection thing in a day or two, not sure exactly what's causing it. SubSpace Discretion: A Third Generation SubSpace Client

🜲 Samapico Posted August 15, 2005 Report Posted August 15, 2005 what the !@#$%^&* is a *.7z file???

★ Purge Posted August 15, 2005 Report Posted August 15, 2005 It's another type of compression, like .zip. Just get a .7z extractor and use it to extract the files.
★ Maverick Posted August 15, 2005 Report Posted August 15, 2005 Here, they should just zip or rar it. 7z is so unknown... http://www.17thparallel.com/mav/Continuum%...0Ini%20Tool.zip Check out your zone population statistics at stats.sshq.net!

★ Bak Posted August 25, 2005 Author Report Posted August 25, 2005 we'd never be able to adopt better formats if we don't put a little effort in. I don't like how firefox doesn't support MNG without a plugin anymore (and even with the plugin, not completely). If you're serious about making lvz, the .7z format won't hold you back. SubSpace Discretion: A Third Generation SubSpace Client
★ SOS Posted August 25, 2005 Report Posted August 25, 2005 So you want to force people to use new formats? Bah. Anyway, what if you're not serious about making lvz. Can only super-serious-lvz-junkies use your program? What if some newbie just wants to have his first go at lvz and a cool map editor...
🜲 Samapico Posted August 25, 2005 Report Posted August 25, 2005 Better formats? WinRAR compressed !@#$%^&* to 2108kB7-zip compressed it to 2075kB, but took about 2x the time...so that's... 33kB...about 1.5% ... wow, big deal If you really want to keep your .7z file available, I suggest you propose 2 links , one for .7z file and the other for .rar or .zip ... + [what SOS said] http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/88/Half-Life_Black_Mesa_logo.svg/120px-Half-Life_Black_Mesa_logo.svg.pngDCME co-developerSSCU 17th Parallel sysop
