http://www.hacking-cult.org/?utils finally posted your util on my site. also posted a newspost. if you want to add the link to your list, please keep the ?utils link, not a direct link to the file, because I just don't like such 'practises' with files hosted by me. I hope you understand. Keep up the good work. I'll actually try to crack those 2 compressions that other 32x gfx are stored in (they're fuckin' heavy!). If crack it, I'll write some VB code so you can use it. Good job.
Thanks drx. But in other news, I just took off my windows-blinds theme, and I found out that one of the subroutines that saves the art back into the rom was messed up due to different colors with different themes. So I had to make ANOTHER fast update: http://rapidshare.de/files/27264768/CHAOXED.rar.html I'm so terribly sorry guys. I guess this is what I get for not testing it out enough. And if you would, I would appreciate new mirrors of THIS version.
Version 2.50 final now out. Check first post for more details. I got this kick-ass new feature in it that makes importing from other games insanely easy. There are these .SC files provided with Sonik Sprite, which are in the Data folder, that hold the mappings for most uncompressed art in each sonic game. So to port a frame of sonic's from sonic 2 you would: A. Import sonic's palette from s2 over any character's (assuming you have the sonic2.tpl file) B. Choose the frame that you want to replace and select "Import from Rom + SC File" C. Choose your Sonic 2 Rom, and then choose the Data/s2/sonic/-(frame name)-.sc in Sonik Sprite's folder D. Save Changes I changed some stuff around, like text on the form and made the form smaller, random touchups like that. I don't think it's documented but it fixes the checksum now as well, which was a pain in the ass to be loading up ESE everytime I make changes to my rom. Comments & Opinions appreciated. Hope you guys like it! http://www.hacking-cult.org//html/upload/1158100450.rar By the way, I need pixel artists for some of sonics sprites in chaotix. Reply/Contact me if you want to help
