Repost from the Tech Lounge said:

I may consider releasing this among the serfs regular members at some point, but I want some decent feedback about it.

RadPal

RadPal features saving 16-entry palettes, as well as loading 16-entry palettes.

I'm aware. I'm aware that there are tons of palette editors out there. Many better than this. However, I wanted to finish something for once and gloat about my first actual "finished" project. :P

Oh, another reason I made it was because I wasn't a fan of editing split palettes that come with disassemblies via hex. I like to see what colors I'm working with.

My reasons for making it are null and void, as I've learned that Hive Pal can do the exact same thing mine can, probably 20x better. Also, the only feedback I got from a vista user said it didn't even show up. Hopefully that's not the case for everyone. It works for me, and that's good enough. :P

Also, if you want to know, this is made in Game Maker 6.1. Read the readme, the notices, everything. I'm not gonna tell you how to use it, as it's pretty straight forward. Have fun!

Oh yeah, screenshots

Didn't I just read a while ago that anything from the Tech Lounge should not be taken outside?

Sorry bout' offtopicnessness.

If A posts about a project in the Tech Lounge, then B should be kind enough not to repost it elsewhere. But if A posts about a project in the Tech Lounge, and then A decides to make it public, that is totally A's call.

Hopefully this will help to end the offtopicness right here

I think he was talking about the post I relayed out. But yeah, it's my call.

Now enough about that, let's get some reviews, yes? :P

Secret Hacker Tools!

*RUNS*

Seriously, a novel little tool. I know making apps that involve graphics has always eluded me, so I'll bow to my programming superior, even if you DID use GameMaker. =P

Irixion · Jul 6, 2008

¬_¬....

You used a game maker to make that? :O I don't really edit palettes, but Game Maker is a bitch...Kudos to you

Qjimbo · Jul 7, 2008

What a bizarre choice of language. I recommend you learn Delphi!

Still, nice to see you making utilities, we can never have too many!

Overlord · Jul 7, 2008

......Delphi? Dude, Delphi is dead =P

Hivebrain · Jul 8, 2008

I use Delphi. It's just as good as C++.

That would explain it.

Overlord speaks the truth.

Then again, I still use QuickBasic so I should shut up. :P

Alternatively, you could take the uber-masochist route by attempting to learn the Windows API.

Seriously, who the FUCK designed that monster?

stormislandgal · Jul 8, 2008

So uh, yeah, has anyone besides Overlord actually tried it? All I hear is programming discussion.

Haha. They keep 'updating' (read: appending to) it, but they keep the same not-easy-to-read-or-sometimes-use format. I suppose something can be said for consistency.

On topic: Yeah, Anything less than Game Maker 7 won't run on Vista. So I'll take a peek when I'm on my XP box, or if you happen to port it to GM7

stormislandgal · Jul 13, 2008

I'm not sure of how many of you have actually TRIED the program, but I'm making a call out to all vista users. Try the compatability mode thingie from right click properties. Set it to XP compatibility and see if it works then.

However, I'm still considering working on a new version that works on Vista by default, but I can't promise I'll get around to torrenting GM7 any time soon.

Qjimbo · Jul 13, 2008

Oh also I should mention I didn't mention Delphi just arbitrarily, it's because both Delphi and Gamemaker use pascal concepts, so I thought it'd be an easier transition than to a completely different language.

Polygon Jim · Jul 25, 2008

I can port it to gamemaker 7 for you, I bought it a while ago, and haven't really used it for anything.

And also, the compatabilty thing won't help it's some internal bug in gamemaker code, that just makes the things not run for Vista users.

That won't work for vista. You need to upgrade to GM7 or nobody will get it to work on Vista. That's why 6.1 is completely dead, is that it has no viable future. There's no fix right now.

stormislandgal · Jul 26, 2008

Damn it, now I gotta pirate it like all my last versions of Game Maker.

I'll get to updating this soon, but I don't see the point. Hivepal works a whole lot better and is more than likely a whole lot user friendly.

Polygon Jim · Jul 27, 2008

Download this. I've tested it.

It makes gm6 .exe's work in Vista.
