Map Exits

I found a data set containing the map exits for all maps. They are now displayed on every map as red squares (blue squares are map objects). The data set contains the x and y location of the exits and several other informations. I also found the map index of the destination map there.

Here you can see the map of the City of Freejia with its objects and exits:



I will examine the other map exit data bytes and try to make them editable.

Edit Text Profiles

You can now edit the text profiles. I changed the text color for Will and exported it back to the ROM:


This is the result in the game:


This might be a small thing to edit but at least it's something which is already fully working :)

Text Profiles

I found a data set that contains the text color and the sound effect that is played when the text is shown.Since there are several data sets for the different characters I call them text profiles.
I will make the text colors colors editable as a next step.

GaiaTheCreator v.0.0.1.3

Here is a new version of the editor:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/hlutxfue7agdw1o/GaiaTheCreator%20%280.0.1.3%29.zip?dl=0

Improvements in version 0.0.1.3:
- Improved the LZSS decompression routine. Decompression will now be much faster now.
- The XML data file is now automatically created and doesn't need to be copied in the
  project directory anymore.
- Save and display the project name in the editor.
- Support of US roms with header.
- Scroll and zoom in the map view.
- Filter option for the display of the map events.
- Display several event commands (Some events might still crash the editor).

Note that the event editor is still in a very early state so the editor will crash on several events.

Important: You have to start the editor from the .exe file in the directory \GaiaTheCreator (0.0.1.3)\GaiaTheCreator (0.0.1.3)\Application Files\GaiaTheCreator_0_0_1_3. Otherwise you won't be able to create a new project..
Have fun :)
