That's fine, It's more to say "this tile is animated, don't go dicking with it thinking it does nothing"

[MainMemory]

Fixed those two things, and a minor error in drawing (made the image a pixel too small in both dimensions which was then stretched to fill the panel).

The updater never works for me unless I delete everything in the directory except the updater and then run it. Any idea as to why?

[MainMemory]

How does it not work? Does it not find updates? Does it crash? Do you have to delete ALL the files, or just Updater.ini?

[Alriightyman]

Well, it works fine if I delete the Updater.ini which I never did before. Usually I delete everything.
But the updater would fail at downloading or extracting the downloads and eventually crash.
EDIT: it does find updates btw.

You didn't have any copies of SonLVL running while you were trying to update it did you?

Maybe this updated updater will work better, or at least create an error log file.

[Alriightyman]

Ok, I'll try it out next time you send out an update. I already got it to update (obviously by deleting a bunch of stuff) but will try this in the future.

SonLVL Update 449 includes the following changes:

• Changed format of xflip and yflip parameters in XML ImageRef class.

Additionally, the Object Definition Editor is now available for public use. As usual, this does not mean it has been thoroughly tested (I did test it a bit though), so it may crash.

[Uberham]

More subtype stuff: Bubbles in aquatic ruin need to be set to subtype 81 to work, Chop Chop needs subtype 08 to work, Grounder Needs subtype 02 to work, and is Y-Inverted by default in vanilla S2, which is odd.

Also, copypasting ARZ's falling leaves doesn't give the pasted object any editable co-ordinates.

More updates:

• There was an API bug that prevented angles from being loaded or saved (affects SonLVL and LevelConverter).
  
• The tile list now uses the colors of the palette line you have selected instead of defaulting to line 3 (SonLVL).
  
• You can now add an INI file named <ininame>.user.ini (for example S2LVL.user.ini for S2LVL.ini) which will add/overwrite groups/values from the default INI (SonLVL, LevelConverter, ObjDefEditor).

For that last item, let's say your Sonic 2 hack has HTZ using completely separate art than EHZ, you have an ini file containing extra object definitions for all levels, and you've added HPZ. Your S2LVL.user.ini file might look like this:

objlst=obj.ini|objCustom.ini ; replaces "objlst" value in default ini
[Hill Top Zone Act 1] ; already exists in default ini, so the values will be added or replace
tiles=../art/kosinski/HTZ.bin ; replaces "tiles" value
blocks=../mappings/16x16/HTZ.bin
colind1=../collision/HTZ primary 16x16 collision index.bin
colind2=../collision/HTZ secondary 16x16 collision index.bin
[Hill Top Zone Act 2]
tiles=../art/kosinski/HTZ.bin
blocks=../mappings/16x16/HTZ.bin
colind1=../collision/HTZ primary 16x16 collision index.bin
colind2=../collision/HTZ secondary 16x16 collision index.bin
[Hidden Palace Zone Act 1] ; doesn't exist in default ini, so these values all get added to a new group
tiles=../art/kosinski/HPZ.bin
blocks=../mappings/16x16/HPZ.bin
chunks=../mappings/128x128/HPZ.bin
layout=../level/layout/HPZ_1.bin
objects=../level/objects/HPZ_1.bin
rings=../level/rings/HPZ_1.bin
palette=../art/palettes/SonicAndTails.bin:0:0:16|../art/palettes/HPZ.bin:0:16:48
palette2=Water|../art/palettes/HPZ Underwater.bin:0:0:64
colind1=../collision/HPZ primary 16x16 collision index.bin
colind2=../collision/HPZ secondary 16x16 collision index.bin
objlst=objHPZ.ini

Before I do something, I'm going to ask for some user input.
Would you prefer if everything stayed as it is, with all the editors in separate tabs; should the Chunks, Blocks, Tiles and Solids tabs be combined into one; or should I get rid of tabs altogether and have SonED-style switching by hotkeys/menu?
Secondly, are there any hotkeys you would like to have? I will definitely add SonED2's hotkeys for collision path viewing, as it's been requested several times now.

[Tets]

I like the tab interface, myself. And hotkeys are always welcome, especially if they're user configurable. As for what I think should have hotkeys, everything in the view menu would be a great start. Toggle keys for objects above high plane, HUD, and so on; zoom in and out with + and - keys, respectively.

[Uberham]

I like the tabs.

[MainMemory]

Update with an entire row's worth of keyboard shortcuts:

• Q = Disable collision viewing
  
• W = View collision path 1
  
• E = View collision path 2
  
• R = Toggle viewing of angle values
  
• T = Toggle objects above/below high plane
  
• Y = Toggle viewing of low plane
  
• U = Toggle viewing of high plane
  
• I = Toggle grid
  
• O = Toggle HUD
  
• P = Toggle viewing of objects from all timezones (Sonic CD only)
  
• [ = View previous palette
  
• ] = View next palette
  
• - = Zoom out
  
• + = Zoom in

Additionally, the resize level function has been moved to an item in the Edit menu.

[Tets]

I like it. Only one minor complaint, while the + and - keys to the left of backspace control zoom, the ones on the numpad do not.
