SonLVL

It works now. I just had to use the Updater to download the current version of SonLVL in r568.1's place. Now I feel just silly. :v:

 

Makes sense but will it be a very noticeable slow down or like less than a second difference?

 

Awesome! I'll check it out when I get home.

 

I get this error when I click out side the area where you see the background. Also, is there anyway to set the background to the top left?

Code (Text):

1. System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array.
2.    at SonicRetro.SonLVL.MainForm.panel3_MouseDown(Object sender,  MouseEventArgs e) in C:\RetroSVN\Programs\SonLVL\SonLVL\MainForm.cs:line  3366
3.    at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WmMouseDown(Message& m, MouseButtons button, Int32 clicks)
4.    at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WndProc(Message& m)
5.    at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m)
6.    at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam)
7.  

Anyway, other than that, I love the new zoom feature, and the grid is helpful but not quite what I was thinking... But I am glad you did add those. Thanks!
Also, sorry about the double post.
EDIT - The grid acted different the first time I used it now it is acting just perfectly and is awesome.

 

That was fast. Much better!
Thanks again!

 

In chemical plant, Grabber's subtype is set to 0 where it should be 36 and Spiny's should be 32.

Not massive in the grand scheme of things, but less of a headache when placing.

 

I'm not sure, if you keep the subtypes as 0 it makes their graphics corrupt ingame though.

All grabbers have the subtype 36, and all spiny's have the subtype 32, even wall ones, so I'd assume it affects movement behaviour.

Also with the moving stairs, subtype 18 gives small square movement, subtype 19 gives a large square movement.

 

It's related to this:

25.     move.b  (a1),collision_flags(a0)
26.     addq.b  #2,routine(a0)
27.     rts
28.  

and subtype $36 is it's index for this subroutine that loads it's mappings, art tile, ect.
EDIT:

This is completely unrelated to the above and has something to do with the objects code itself.

 

I know, I was merely pointing that out, so he could make 2 distinct types in the sub-menu, like he has with monitors and platforms.

 

No problem dude, loving what you've done so far!

 

tl;dr the topic. Is this utility hardcoded to the games that the topic says it supports or can it read the level binaries and whatnot (like the layout in a binary file) and just edit it like that? I ask because I'm about to start into the levels on Sonic CD 510 and I want to know if I can isolate the layout data from each level (which I assume would be like the final level layout format which is supported) and just load it and, if anything is needed in terms of display in the program I could add the image files or however you handle that. Anyway, get back to me alright, PM me if you want me to send you a disassembled level MMD so you can code it into the program if my assumption is invalid.

 

How do I draw chunks without manually selecting each block? Is it possible to select multiple blocks in a chunk at a time? Right now the only way I know to, for instance, clear an entire chunk, is to manually select each block and set it to block 00, and then repeat for the next one.
