SonLVL

Change "locret_1990" to "PCycGHZ_Skip" (the code he provided was made for the old 2005 disassembly instead of the current version on GitHub) and delete the 2 lines of code under the "PalCycle_Title" label (they are no longer needed, as it shares the same function as Green Hill).

 

Thanks dude!

 

I do think a neat feature to eventually add is the ability to edit the palette cycle colours in the editor, rather than needing to do it in a program like Flex 2; a potential example of how they'd be setup in the main INI:

Code (Text):

1. palcyclefile=.../XXX/YYY.bin
2. palcycleloc=PALLINE:PALCOLOR:PALLENGTH

("palcycleloc" as in which colours are highlighted to cycle in the editor; naturally, this also needs to account for stages with more than one cycle)

 

Popout window something like this?

Also put a notice to the user if they change the size/frames they'll have to update the according palette cycle code, similar to how SonPLN warns about changing the plane size.

 

Kinda stupid question here, How would or do we chose which pixels on tiles receive the palette cycling or not?

 

I would like to mention that I submitted a PR on GitHub with a fix for SonPLN's tile flipping and also added support for chunk flipping in SonLVL, which you enable in the stage layout class (Yundong made use of this via a custom build, and I've been messaged by another person who also implemented it into their hack and actually requested for me to get it properly done), and it's been sitting there for months now.

 

Yo @MainMemory I got another pull request that implements the rest of the 16-bit chunk ID support, because I accidentally left it unfinished.

 

Thanks for pulling in the changes, but I fucked up and didn't thoroughly test it well enough. "loopchunks" doesn't get parsed correctly, so an error is thrown whenever you load a Sonic 1 project that defines that. I sent in another pull request, and you should accept it ASAP @MainMemory

 

May I ask, is it possible we can get a feature added to SS1SSEdit to allow for custom block libraries?

It's something that would really help S1Fixed (which uses a 7th emerald, and has plans for a brand new block)

 

I'll give that a try. It's a feature that'll prove quite useful for me.

 

Got this error when trying to use the LevelConverter. This has never happened to me before. Could it be update related?

I'm not sure what's wrong. I haven't forked or modified anything (yet). I'll redownload from GitHub later and try again.

 

Here's a bit of a suggestion for further updates on SonLVL

I really like the ability to change the zone's pallette but i'd like for there to be an eyedropper so you can determine which color a certain pixel is so changing its color can be easier to prevent accidently changing a color that LOOKS like what you intended but ends up being drastically different.
