There's an odd little issue with the RGB color value boxes. It won't save the value in the newest edited box until you select another adjacent box. Doing anything else results in the last value not beings saved, making me go back, change it again, pointlessly select another RGB color box, then move on.

Yes that's a limitation of the NumericUpDown control, I'm not sure if I can make it immediately update the value when typing.

I've created a new command-line program which is available via the SonLVL updater: ObjectLayoutDiff. The program has two modes of operation; in create mode, it takes two object layout files, and compares them to see which objects were added and removed in the second file, and records that information in a file (I use .objdiff, but it's just an ini file); in apply mode, it takes an object layout file and a previously generated diff file, and applies the changes in the diff file to create a new object layout file.

The program is rather basic, if an object is moved the diff records it as a deletion and addition, and if you've altered any objects in a file that you're applying a diff to, it may not be able to delete everything it's meant to.

The reason I wrote this is so that I could apply the changes made in Knuckles in Sonic 2 to a Sonic 2 hack without having to manually port over all the changes I've made to the KiS2 files. In case anyone is interested, here are the objdiff files to turn S2 object layouts into KiS2 layouts.

Do INI files for MarkeyJester's Two-Eight disasm exist? That's currently what I'm working with.

[MainMemory]

Yes, they're listed as "Sonic 1 Project 128 INIs" in the updater.

[Xeta]

Okay, thanks.

SonLVL can now use different compressions for FG and BG layout files in layout formats that use separate files, either by setting fglayoutcmp and/or bglayoutcmp in the INI or by overriding DefaultFGCompression and/or DefaultBGCompression in a custom layout format class. Anything not specified will use the layoutcmp/DefaultCompression data as before.

The rev.1 INI that comes with the disassembly (and possibly others) incorrectly references the original rev.0 object layout for Spring Yard 3 instead of (JP1).


Also, inserting a new block in the middle of the list correctly updates the first collision layer for subsequent blocks, but not the second collision layer (again, when using Two-Eight, possibly present with others too).

[MainMemory]

I've fixed both of those issues.

Is start position editing not supported with the Two-Eight disassembly? I didn't see any code in the .INI referring to start location files, and it still doesn't seem to read said files even after copy-pasting that portion of the code from a 2005 INI.

[MainMemory]

It should work, if the startpos data is correct, and the file it refers to exists. You also need to have an entry in the object definition INI for the player sprite.

I've added support for Chaotix object layouts, and I've added drag-and-drop reordering functionality to the chunk, block, and tile lists (hold Ctrl to swap instead of move).

[MainMemory]

I've added "Advanced Remapping..." buttons to the chunk, block and tile lists that open a new dialog:

Hello, I'm currently doing some editing work for flamewing. Would it be possible to add multiple block selection in the chunk editor?

[MainMemory]

I suppose it is possible... I'm not really sure how to handle that though.
