Hey @Piccolo I've tested the newest version.
Now it respects the FACING in the entity header (I am using FACING 1 here):
fNhKhj5.png


But without the FACING 1 or FLIP, the tool still displays it facing the wrong direction (facing left, on a DIRECTION RIGHT stage)

IOW, type NONE should not be flipped to left, like the enemies are.

I made sure it does that, but I think the issue is in CMT the type is case sensitive, and if you put "NONE" it will be different than "none", and the ignoring of default direction works only with type "none" right now (not "NONE"). I'll make it case insensitive, but I think it's probably just that.

EDIT : upon checking, the type is indeed lowercased by CMT so I don't know what the issue is :unsure:
 
@Piccolo I got some ideas while working with CMT and here are some suggestions:

- Range: Since range is something unique for each animation (and you can have only one per animation), we should be able to change the value of the range box in any frame we want, and not on the range we had added it, because range is not a frame property - it's an animation property.
it's very common for me to draw the rangebox on the same frame I have an attackbox like this:
2pkAlo2.png

But then I can't change it's value animore unless I return to that frame again.

Also, we should be able to add a new range value if we click on the green + over the range section (something which doesn't work right now).

And there is an issue with the range setting: see this animation - I don't have any range set yet, but the tool kept the last value I used in another animation, which doesn't make much sense:

- Animation names: would it be possible to add some warning about wrong animation names, kinda like Stats have?
Ok, the engine will report you about an illegal name for the animation name, but it would be cool to have something inside the tool. Maybe in the same way you added "__ALREADY_USED" in the animation name, but with something like "_ILLEGAL_NAME".

For sure, you would need a list of all possible, but we can extract it from the souce code.

we can always extract it from the source: openbor/engine/openbor.h at master · DCurrent/openbor
Probably, you would add a wildcard here because unless I am mistaken, any animation which has a number can have values up to 99, like FOLLOW99.

+1 to range. I think that would be a great addition. Don't forget there's a range base and a range Z. You normally don't need to worry about base (and probably don't want to display it unless asked for because by default it's huge), but Z is important.

I'd have to advise against this. First, numeric can go WAY past 99. All the way up to 2.1 billion if you're insane. But also, what happens when I add something to the engine, but CMT is warning about it not existing? Animations are in flux too much IMO. It's just one more static list of things out there to get out of sync with what the engine actually has/does.

yeah any Z related stuff would be good to have, but it could be tricky to display, it either will need to convert the box into a 3D or adding some guiding lines
 
Piccolo updated Chronocrash Modders Tools with a new update entry:

Changelog 0.5.16

Range box can now be edited from any frame. It will bet set on frame 0.

WARNING : if you previously set range on other frame that frame 0, this old range line will probably be updated but not deleted by CMT. You can delete the line manually if you want, but keeping it will not cause any problem (as the values will match the new values)

Button to add and delete range are now properly activated.

Added support for rangez, which is now visually previewable.



Bug fix :

@Piccolo oh, rangez preview? That is awesome:

But this raised me a concern: when we set the rangez from 0 to a number, the range box isn't aligned witht he image axis anymore

I think it is, it's just perspective. If you take the middle of the range, you'll see it aligns with the origin.

I think you already get it but you have to take into account that setting rangez min to 0 is not centering the range.

As far as I know, "rangez 0 10" works from the point 0 to 10, so it will take action only if the Z position is the same of the target (0) to +10
Centering the range would be "rangez -10 10".

But this could be a problem, because it is displaying the range box 10 pixels away from the axis. And this may mislead some users, specially newcomers.

When the correct would be this:

Also, it would be better to have an option so people can turn on and off the rangez - some people will do prefer to have it in the classic way (and it can be more useful in some cases)

It's so cool to be able to preview an attack like this...

how is basemap support coming along? the editor is kinda confused about what it is (even though it's still read and displayed) and like other available editors (OBeditor, OpenBOR stats) it crashes if you try to edit a basemap.
this is a really unique engine feature that has been present for years but was never fully supported by any of the tools available
 
kzr said:

Click to expand...
I don't have any issues editing basemaps on it, really.

Also, basemap was added in the engine after the other editors you mentioned were stopped to be developed, so that is why you can't edit them there.
 
weird, I'm using Version 0.5.16 (03/02/24)


this is what I see vs how it's defined in text

nothing shows in the editor other than those two parameters and the actual basemap solid.

Code: 
basemap 120 620 96 96 64 64

image_2024-02-06_115206216.png

if I try to drag the basemap...
image_2024-02-06_115536581.png

after this it just works? albeit the values are still mostly empty. if I try to change and update values it displays another error
image_2024-02-06_124530240.png

is it possible to drag points as well? the only thing I can do bug free is edit the points/basemap entries manually and using the preview to double check the placements

also this message sometimes refuses to go away and I have to restart the app. this time it happened after changing the level txt externally
image_2024-02-06_133708965.png

issues with preview if background is transparent or does not exist, also garbled UI for some reason (right)

@Piccolo actually he is right. I remember I was able to drag and change basemap points in the past, but not its not working.
You can drag the basemap around, but once you try to move a point, you get a warning and you can't select the basemap anymore


basemap 475 195 57 20 0 33

Also, can we got a player spawn indicator, like OBEditor have? Its quite useful:
cb923Q6.png


According to the manual, the Z position counts from the MIN Z of the stage:

spawn1 {x} {z} {a}

  • Optional.
  • {x} is relative to the starting edge of the screen. {z} is relative to the stage's minimum z value. {a} is relative to the ground.
  • {x} is measured from left for levels with direction right and both and it's measured from right for levels with direction left.
 
The basemap dot dragging was broken due to an update in libs used, I'll do a quick update.

also this message sometimes refuses to go away and I have to restart the app. this time it happened after changing the level txt externally

It's probably due to the system you are using CMT in, which messes with file modifications date. If I were to guess based on the screenshots it's wine in Linux ?

I cannot guarantee CMT will work with wine, but you can run the code directly in Linux. The code is present in each release made here, sometimes not up to date, but it will be in next update.

Anyway if you still want to keep using wine, I added a new option "Check external file updates". Just uncheck this and it will completely disable the checking of updates made outside CMT (it will be available in next update)

Maybe I don't really know, just assumed this based on the window decoration, but maybe there is a theme like that in Windows 10, I'm not too familiar with Windows.

EDIT : yes my bad didn't saw the windows bar in the first screenshot

Then maybe he has a program that keeps updating the file and thus making it seem modified ? I don't know. Anyway the new option can be used to disable that, but then it's up to the user to make sure to reload the file if he edits it outside CMT while CMT is opened.

@Piccolo Windows 10 actually. and thanks for the update! will test it right awy
as for the file update issue, could it be because it's in a synced dropbox folder. I've read reports of dropbox interfering with some file operations of other apps
