Well, I don't want to make Golden Sun into a Golden Sun Hack.. Lol.
I would probably do the opposite of Pokemon Jupiter.

blasphemy. Dont you ever wished for a third game?  

[Charon]

I think he was refering to a Pokemon Themed Golden Sun hack...

And don't get so angry at him...

Not a chance

Text editor ftw, you continue to amaze, it seems to works perfectly, 0.3 is gonna be another cracker  well done

[Atrius (He/They)]

Compressing the text is working alright, actually inserting it into the game is still a bit problematic sometimes.  Overflow is a pain, I still need to write something to deal with it.

[Atrius (He/They)]

I bet some of you were worried I couldn't figure out the compression.

I still need to do a lot of back end work before I can actually turn the text viewer into an editor, but at least I've got the compression algorithm now.  I tested it on a few lines from the game, and I think my algorithm actually shaved a couple bits off of some of them.

[Charon]

Will you be able to add something to repoint text, for example, if it's one or two characters over what the old text was?

And if so, will the program remove where the old text was to conserve space?

[Atrius (He/They)]

I'm thinking up a system that automatically repoints things when they need more space, and marks their old space as unused in case something else needs repointed and will fit in it.

That picture is a lie! We won't get any text editor!</lie>

[Atrius (He/They)]

Oh the ways some of those could be abused.

[camo1018]

Much abuse indeed.

Keep 'em coming!

[Charon]

Those quotes are funny (especially the one with Kraden), but I think that we should really have this one:

(Really old post from me on GSR XD; sorry if I happen to offend anyone.)

AND YOU GUYS DON'T HAVE A SPOILER TAG? That's odd.

[camo1018]

Haha. That's rather hilarious.

haha genius.

one thing Charon, your the same age as my wee sister, if i saw her posting like that i would break her in two



nice use of the text editor also Atrius, Your not worthy to use that, the wheat sword lol, Someone has to put that in the game with a full animation at some stage.

[Charon]

Lol, my parents really don't care. I can't recall how I came across it, though.

Once I get the Text Editor on my hands, I'm going to make a weapon called "Old Rod", "Good Rod" and "Super Rod", and the first releashes "Not Another Magikarp" and the other two will releaese "Oh! A bite!"

[artem13]

this MIGHT sound stupid, buuut... I can't find the world map in the map editor O_o
and the map under the name WORLD is just a black... nothing... =(

[Atrius (He/They)]

The world map is accessed a little differently because it's so huge.  It is under the one named WORLD, the editor just can't load it yet.

[artem13]

so how is it accessed then =D
if possible at all....
the biggest reason i got this editor is to look at the world map XD
and also, you think you could add zoom in, and out functions (if you haven't already >_>) I think it would really help...
OH and is there any way to speed up the editor itself, cause its barely using any power of my pc, so its working reeeally sloooww
AND also, could you make the map.. drag..able? like google maps =D you can grab it anywhere, and drag it around?
TNX

[Atrius (He/They)]

I imagine once the map viewer becomes an editor, clicking and dragging on it will need to serve a different purpose than to scroll it.

The editor can't view the world map right now, I do have it fully ripped though.



I recommend you right-click > Save As...  the image is so large some browsers can't even display it.

[camo1018]

That's one crazy map right there.

I can't even imagine the amount of frustration with editing that map much less CODING A TOOL to edit such map. XD

Until Atrius gets what you want done so to speak here is a ripped Golden Sun TLA map. not ripped by me... however the First GS map locations are included in the the full map, which i merged into one  using a ripped map from the first game that i also did not rip

Atrius well done on locating that i was wondering tho, in games like Pokemon the maps in the Pokemon editors are made up of tiles, Is this in the same way, its hard to explain, but think of Pokemon you walk on a grid however in Golden SUn you can walk in all 8ight directions,  is this a convenience
