Smart Fpg Editor

[darío]

Smart Fpg Editor 0.4.9 released. The problem should be now fixed. I appreciate any feedback as I do not have any other testing platform than an old Windows XP.

EDIT: Newer version available 0.5.2

Best Regards.

I do not think I will be creating a portable version, I considered it for long time ago but I doubt it is worth the effort... I do not know what you guys have against installers... considering that the application uses active X controls it is much cleaner to handle registering and unregistering from the installer and uninstaller.

Portable apps and VB6 do not get on well together... :/

ok please share the dlls and ocx and exe

please share in mediafire or mega hosting

I do not know what keeps me motivated to continue this... I just cannot let it go!

I thought it would be nice to have a palette edition feature.. This is so far what I have achieved...

You don't need me to do this. Just open the installer with a decent compressor tool such as 7-zip and you have everything you need inside. Could you share the portable version before you include it in the Bennu pack (you are not obligued to, but I would appreciate it)? I would like to see it does not create any incompatibilities with future "installer" versions of Smart Fpg Editor.

Man!! this is a GREAT feature!


This will allow me to have different colors for the same sprite with minimum effort! :D and I won't be tied to the pallete support in Bennu or Pixtudio :D


I'm loving it! :D

Sometimes I think I am working for you! xD

I think I will release 0.5.0 with basic palette editions functions soon (this week) but I have a set of surprise features to implement during the 0.5.0 series that I believe you will benefit of.

Javis,

Have you experienced any crashes of the program when dragging & dropping from one fpg window to another?
Could you try it?

I experienced some, but It might be that it crashes when I run the program from the editor because of Automation things... and I do not have a "test machine" at the moment.

Thank you.

Nope, I haven't. BTW it's a very useful feature.


I'll try again and let you know if I get an error.

I can say I am practically done with the Palette edition features that I believe were necessary to have "Painless FPG Edition" (which is the goal of Smart Fpg Editor)

I hope you like it :)

It's looking great. Also, you made the tool very complete, with lot of options. I love it!

Smart Fpg Editor 0.5.1 is now available for download. Best palette-edition support in a Fpg editor as far as I know.

I would appreciate testing & feedback, as I do not do heavily testing before release and this was a "major" feature.




I will now make a break again after this sprint and will focus on other projects, but I can fix critical bugs if they arise.

Some small things to fix in the short term are:
- Make VGA colors the only possible to be selected (DIV only supported 6bits per component in the palette and BennuGD has inherited that legacy behaviour...)
- Copy & Paste colors

But they are not critical and I did not want to delay to much the release.

Great news! I'll be testing it and let you know if I find anything


Thanks so much for you effort! the program is easily the best FPG editor of them all! :D

Dario!! la ultima version no me funciona, no se que pasa :P
