Looks cool, thanks for your effort and sharing its result

Looks promising. You should put it in your signature.

I would like to see hexadecimal number support, so numbers from $00 to $FF. LOL, ive wrote that, but then i saw last sentences on 0th post (I guess i can call that like this).

Another thing, i see that the program takes all the images thats in the directory, so a suggestion, let the user set the directory when launched.

Im going to try to make a theme out of this. Well, gl hf for me i guess.

EDIT1: Im going to actually save this for the thing. You know. No spoilers.

Another suggestion, maybe Light Theme? White background and black text. Toggable by user.

UPDATED! I added support for importing hex values. I also did some "silent updates" over time, fixing some things, so I'm saying it now.

I was thinking about this, but it would require setting the directory each time and I don't even have file explorer so... Other solution would be saving the directory, but this requires config file and I wanted to keep this editor in single file. Not sure if I'm changing it.

Black and white are default colors for my drawing functions, so I'd have to specify color for each text and the rest of colors are hard-coded (magic numbers, if you know what it is). Maybe one day...

heh nice

Why not using variables and/or locals, whatever that's called to store a value to execute it.

Well, I should have done it from the beginning. Now I would have to change it all. I try to use dark themes pretty everywhere so I didn't even think about something like that.

sure thing

Super good work with this, this will allow maps to have multiple terrain behaviors or im wrong??

I don't know what exactly do you mean, but it won't give additional functionality. It makes making themes easier, especially land objects.

No problem good work anyway, i was talking about multiple themes at same map...

He ment land object masks

Bugs found:

- Water opacity is not reading
- I can get negative values on land object configuration
- Sometimes i cant delete rectangles on land object editor

KarBoy, you may be using old version. These bugs are already fixed, but I made a "silent update".(sorry about that, I didn't feel like making a post for each small change, lol) Just download it again.

EDIT: Rectangles are bugged, will fix it soon.

EDIT2: OK, updated just now. You can no longer make negative rectangles. Also, I made a "legit" GUI (old one was a lacky, modified version), so you can now select text in textboxes and object dropdown is replaced with list.

You should mark build version in name then.

EDIT1: For some reason on land object editor, when I place a rectangle on half of the image, it gets some specifc amount of height immediately and I can't change it. Very weird.

Sorry, I fixed it again. I hope it will work now XD
I also made the version number shown in top-right corner and in first post here. Also a small quick feature: you can now see how much you zoomed.

What the Hell?! Now Im getting 1pix height rectangles that I cant delete.

EDIT1: Reboot the program and now I can delete them. Weird.

IMPOSSIBRU! YOU ARE CLICKING TOO FAST!
But seriously, you make a rectangle by clicking two times: first to make start point and second to make end point. You are probably trying to hold the button, which may result in second click producing one-pixel rectangle unintentionally. You can delete them, just need to be precise (zoom helps here).

Nope. 111x zoom, and its not highlighting

http://screenshooter.net/102638492/mvnrvdn

That's... unfortunate. Looks like some zoom values actually don't stick to grid for some reason. I will investigate it further tomorrow. For now, just stick to x4 zoom or anything that is power of 2 (1,2,4,8,16 etc.) as it seems to work.
Anyways, good that someone finally used/tested this editor, but quite bad that you break it every few minutes XD

That's why I am here for, mate

EDIT1: Welp, I found something AGAIN. Having more than 8 'green' rectangles crashes the game engine with exit code 217. You should limit that.

EDIT2: Another thing I just discovered, is that when you open the program, and change some things to land objects and you've made config yourself on any of these, when you are trying to save, program crashes and doesn't return land object configuration.

I figured out the problem. I made it so when you moved the screen, it always moved by 16 pixels, not taking zoom into account. This was fixed. I also made it possible to reload images, so you do't have to restart editor after each change and it's also possible to zoom with mouse wheel.
As for your errors, I don't know how they happened.
http://i.imgur.com/VzsIE36.png

Buuut, I made it that when the editor crashes, it displays the error, so you can copy/paste it here.

Make a rectangle, move up-right and then try it

Good. So far i haven't got that crash, but as soon as I will get it, I am going to pastebin it.

EDIT1: I have some suggestions for Colors page:

- Ability to type RGB values
- Scroll mouse to add/subtract RGB value

EDIT2: Why Border and Land Texture is not displayed in custom images (3rd page)?

EDIT3: Why am I so slow now?! In the object editor that is

EDIT4: Oh btw, I have 21 themes left to convert. This might take a while, even with your program.

1. This feature is just not implemented yet. I have to organize the UI better to actually make space for it.

2. This is a bug that appears randomly in the library I'm using. It happens only on some computers and some times.

3. Are these themes using old format? I might make my editor import them. I didn't make this functionality, because I assumed very few themes are left like that.

I have at least 1 theme that is old formatted, so i guess you can do that.

Revive Time!

welp, dun got crashed... http://screenshooter.net/102638492/ckqxrcu

Another thing worth mentioning is that when it crashed I didn't saw Reload images button since starting of that program.

Ok, that's just slowing me down a lot. When I change directory of the theme editor, then activate it and hit Save right off the bat, it crashes with the same error. Another thing to mention is that there is theme.cfg in each theme present that I edited manually.

Sorry for the issue, it's now fixed. I forgot to update name of one object and didn't notice it, since I didn't use sd-clouds.
In this version I also added possibility to import old-format themes. I also made a file protection (sort of) so the themes won't get corrupted in case of failed saving. And I made an experimental change, which prevents from removing spaces from lines when loading (previously it could for example load music name without spaces, actually the change fixes only this). Let me now if it breaks anything

Oh, and the reload button is next to save, but only on first page.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! caps, sry

on that crash, I lose entire theme.cfg file. Hopefully I will have better luck in newer version

Sorry for that, there are safety measures in new version so it won't happen. Losing only a config file is not that bad actually. I remember that with old Theme Creator on this forum I lost my whole theme. It literally ate the whole directory and I had to redo all the images

#thebigeditofdestiny

ANOTHER UPDATE!
Editor will now detect all custom images. I added whole new page for this and it required smaller font to put everything. On the same page, it will also show some errors that crash the game. Ever happened that you run your theme and have an unknown error? Editor will try to detect it, like missing LandTex or 1-pixel horizont. It will not detect everything, but most errors are caused by too small images (usually 1 pixel). Also, it will check if any land object has a mask.
Other changes include faster scrolling speed in edit mode, notice if theme.cfg is created and this...

...done.

With this release I pretty cleared my TODO list. I hope it's not broken, lol

One of the crashing errors I commonly get is Sky and/or land objects are not 32-bit. That is caused of having those images indexed. You should add that.

EDIT1: Why I only see 1 icon image?

EDIT2: 3rd page, for some reason I see some spaces in underline on "Customization list of image names" text

EDIT3: I'm not quite sure if this is going to work and/or look/work good, but maybe create a template theme with all images on a button press?

EDIT4: Is it possible to make smaller zooms, like <1x?

Oh there we go, now im moving faster now. Speaking of speed, is it possible to have it customizable?

Yup, engine currently expects png files to be in RGBA format.

So maybe theme editor could warn if a png does not have that format - or even convert it.

Sneaky beaky sheepy appeared outta nowhere.
I tried to change image mode with ImageMagick, and it can't do it, however it can add an alpha channel. GIMP can do it however, but not in bulk :/

EDIT1: Images (for a theme that is) don't have to have alpha channel. I have some land textures that don't have alpha channel and it works without any problems.

EDIT2: I found a minor bug. Make a border image, call it NOT 'Border.png' , boot up the program, look at 4th page, rename the border to 'Border.png', reload images and on 4th page it's still written on the list on right. That also concludes Sky, in my case too.

EDIT3: Something I have noticed in older versions, cursor in music strings are offsetted incorrectly. That thing is confusing the hell out of me.

ImageMagick can do it (I don't have commandline at hand, but it's setting type to truecolormatte and specifying 8 bits per channel or something).

Also GIMP can do stuff in bulk, when being run via command line in batch mode or something.

Good to know.

EDIT1: I am out of themes to process. Now I'm gonna have to rely on my theme template.

This seems to be the easiest way btw:

$ file indexed.png
indexed.png: PNG image data, 494 x 398, 8-bit colormap, non-interlaced

$ convert indexed.png -define png:format=png32 test.png

$ file test.png
test.png: PNG image data, 494 x 398, 8-bit/color RGBA, non-interlaced

Is there any point to this condescending remark of yours?

Welp, now I know. I'm gonna have to test this on my own on next occasion then.

EDIT1: I was double-checking if I haven't make up something stupid. lawl

I can only access pixel color data. Checking depth of image is some advanced stuff and I'm not even sure if it's possible with tools I'm using.

I changed the editor to show only the smaller one since they are usually both the same anyway.

I don't know what would cause this. The only thing that comes in m mind is that when you have lower resolution than the window (800 x 600 in this case), it's scaled down to fit the screen, causing weird artifacts.

I was actually thinking about this and it's possible. But in the way that when you press button it will export a zip file containing images.

It would be possible, but to make editing possible, I'd have to change the way it works. Would it really be useful?

Yep.

Will be fixed in next version.

That's because I used wrong font XD. I will fix this too.

I would be, if you have a massive land object (which it shouldn't happen any time) or if you want to rush configuration of them [land objects].

Speaking of land object editor, is it possible on opening the land object, to center it on screen?

Aaaaand... another update.

Rough changelog:
-reloading images now updates object list
-you can export zip containing template images (a mixture of default graphics with things from different themes)
-you can now zoom out infinitely
-opening edit mode centers the screen and resets zoom and speed (which is now changeable)
-added LandBackTex detection (forgot that one, lol)
-mouse wheel to scroll object list
-fixed inaccurate text cursor
-you can't explore outlands of edit mode anymore (scrolling boundary)
-added WSAD movement to edit mode

Hmm... you should update screenshots, because I think they are outdated

EDIT1: I lawl'd, I have a pure white land object and now I can't see the lines that go from the blue point. Can you change a color for them? If so, maybe change it when all of RGB values are exceeding some sort of a limit?

Done.

Probably too early to share this, but...

UPDATE! This screenshot shows two new, important features:

Interesting, but cannot understand that language

That's one of the new features: localization support!
You will be able to translate the editor to your language. I will include the translations made by contributors, but that's after the release. Editor is able to select language based on system settings.

So, this became the thing...

(pls ignore empty lists and broken layout for now)

The new edit screen:

It won't have keyboard controls, so I added some buttons/bars. Left mouse button is now used to both add and remove rectangles and right button is used to move around.

Alright, the new version is almost finished.

Should I release beta or a completely polished release? I've done it to the point where you can already edit pretty much everything. Some cosmetic features are missing, like updating editor, when theme directory is modified or highlighting errors. But I think it's ready for testing.

So anyone interested in some beta?

EDIT:
Looks like nobody is interested T_T
Anyways, only two features left to do. Everything goes better than expected (alas slower than it should).

I'm interested in checking out the new version, when you release it.
