Multi-Color Character Editor
Hi,
While developing my game I wrote a Windows-based editor to create multi-color mode graphics characters.
Clicking "Save" appends hex bytes to "chardef.txt."

Welcome! Is this game still in development? Tell us moreKweepa wrote:While developing my game I wrote a Windows-based editor to create multi-color mode graphics characters.
I bet another save option to save in decimal could be added in minutes...Jeff-20 wrote: Awesome! I can't wait to try it. I would love to have DEC instead of HEX, but I may be the only one.

Re: Multi-Color Character Editor
It sure is. I'm writing it with Acme and Vice for the unexpanded Vic. It's a platformer. I don't want to say too much beyond that...MacbthPSW wrote: Welcome! Is this game still in development? Tell us more

Don't forget CurtisP's great editor made exclusively for Denial members!

Of course, it doesn't have a multi color mode.

If you're using Ubuntu, you might want to try this, which would allow you to run the Character Editor in Linux:WillKemp wrote: Unfortunately, though, i use Linux, not windows, and i can't get it to run in Wine.

It may not be worth the effort though
On another note, I updated the editor to paint pixels rather than having to click for each one. Unless there are any other requests, I'm done fiddling!

I don't use Ubuntu, but it looks like i could install it on my Fedora system - however, as you say, it may not be worth the effort!
I'll try and sort out the problem with running it under Wine. But the paper and pencil method will probably be the easiest in the end!
