cosmo keeps getting better and better  :D
could you incorperate a refresh on window resize option? cause when i stretch the window (of the backgraound veiwer) and select 'stretch to window' it doesnt automatically happen. i have to close the window and open it again.
the preview window; where did u get the font from? the FF7 one has a shadow uhder it. and whats that 'next' written there for?
but this release is a step in the right direction to becoming 'the complete ff7 editor'.
about the background editing;
if the backgrounds are tiles which are put together then loaded into memory to be displayed (correct?) then why not allow editing (with the same pallete) then simply write over the existing image in the memory, then procedd to 'dismantle' (or reverse the process) the tiles and then save them into the appropriate 'block' in the file?
 
time for a quick cosmo bug reprt  :D
ficedula: when the dialog has the [new screen] code in it, the preview window is the size of the 2nd screen of dialog, and so the 1st screen of dialog sometimes dowsnt fir in the preview window! (understand?) IE, the preview window is not the right size for the 1st set of text, but is in fact the right size for the 2nd peice. (?) find some text with the [new screen] command in it and youll see what i mean.
PS:

bye
 
I'm away from my PC at the moment so I can't make any changes to Cosmo for a few days. Comments all noted though.I take it you've found out what 'Next' does then?
 
yeah finally  :D
could have had a nice hand/arrow at the BOTTOM of the preview window ....
 
Skillster, don't take this as any form of insult or whatever, but from the picture of your desktop, uugh the colours are horrible.
Hey, that gives me an idea for the general chat forum!
 
Anyone mind sending me the images for all the backgrounds (in full not in blocks) in flevel.lgp to me? I'm gonna make use of the fanatics in FFWA message boards to help me name all the locations.
 
uh, sorry about the colour scheme  :wink:
its just i have to log in as admin to be able to change any display settings ;(
even though i am part of the admin user group  :(
ps; thats win2k.
and i think every one here couldname the locations.
I mean, it doesnt take i fanativ to name them.and the only way to save them is to do a printscreen, and doing that for over 140 locations is well dedious/boring. maybe you could just put a list of the location names (md1_1, etc) and ppl can use gast/cosmo to find them themselves then report back on the forum....
PS; u dont mean as part of a quiz by any chance?
 
What's your next move on Cosmo, Ficedula?[This message has been edited by JOONAS (edited February 18, 2001).]
 
Not much in the near future I'm afraid. I've got 3 pieces of coursework due in within a month, and another being set later this week. Plus I bought Oni at the weekend (kickass game!) so between that lot I'll be short on time for a few weeks...Bug fixes can happen of course, but new features might not.
 
fice, since you'll be busy for some time, would you mind documenting how you read the kernel.bin file and how you got around to actually reading it? That way we can get some stuff done while you're busy.
 
If you mean KERNEL2.BIN you can decompress it with FFLzs and see the text for yourself. I could do a document on it ... hmmm. Yeah, why not, it'd be no problem.If you mean KERNEL.BIN I don't know anything about that.
 
Ficedula: Belated congrats on the latest version. I find the new features/fixes quite useful. What exactly *does* the [Next]function do? After brief experimentation, I'm not sure I follow.I found Oni a decent game with some serious flaws while also having some really awesome gameplay. What it ends up as is an ok game. It's an odd combination of the good, the decent, and the ugly. Kind of a mess if you ask me.
 
Re: Next function: Not obvious? I guess I depends what text you're viewing. When the current text contains [NewScreen] codes (splitting the block up between multiple windows) [Next] flips between the various screens.Also, since Cosmo doesn't redraw the text automatically when the window is covered up (will be fixed in next release...just forgot to put the code in!) it's also a way to make it redraw the text.

Re: Oni: Yeah, but I think it's good enough to beat most games hands down. Plus a confessed Anime-addict like me can't resist anything that looks like that  :)
 
Oops! I meant kernel2.binOni? I'm a super fan of anime stuff. What game is it? Is it the full name of the game?
 
oni isnt all that.
the 'from behind behind, and look using your mouse' isnt quite right for this game, reminds me of the 'look from behind' view in shogo....
using a gamepad might be better than using a mouse+keyboard.
and the intro sux.
and this is also going off topic.
 
Well, I play FPS's like Halflife CS/Q3A quite a bit, so the Oni system is what I'm used to anyway. Oni is the full name of the game, think of it as a cross between Tomb Raider, MGS, and a beat-em-up.

Update: SaiNt: I've uploaded a document describing the KERNEL2.BIN file format to my website.

Hey, I'm insane now  :)

That's good to hear the our favourite ff7 editor Cosmo will be uploaded soonish, at least what the site says. My progress on the guide: The first version is about 20% ready. Damn I'm slow.
 
Cosmo updated. Mostly bug fixes; I think I've sorted all of the problems you lot reported.
 
Fice, could you implement the open as feature in you lgp tools or cosmo?
I mean like Qhimm's coding for garden. I honestly suspect some of the other files are using the same format just with different extensions thats all
 
Cosmo can try and open any file already. It can only read one file format - levels - and it doesn't "filter" the display of files to only the ones it thinks are levels.As for LGP editor - I suppose I could do something in that, so you could try and interpret something as P or TEX or whatever data? Is that what you mean?

I'll probably be uploading a new Cosmo version later on tonight, BTW.
