GaiaTheCreator v.0.5.0

After some further stabilization, you can download the latest version of the editor. And you don't need to install it anymore, you can directly execute the GaiaTheCreator.exe. Let me know if there are any problems running the editor.

Here are the most important changes:
- Added resize function for the maps
- Added sprite editing
- Impoved map/sprite compression routine
- Added write of the map data table

My next goal will be the improvement of the event editor.

Resize Maps

It's now possible to expand or reduce the size of a map by adjusting its size in X and Y direction.

I extended the South Cape map in X direction as an example:

I also reduced the X size of Edward's Castle:

I also improved the map compression algorithm so that map editing is now working for every map!

There will be soon a new version available for you to try it out ;)

Sprite Editing

I completely reworked the sprite handling in the editor. Each sprite consists of several frames which can be switched now. A single frame can be used by several sprites.
As a result sprite editing is fully functional now!

Here are some quick edit examples:

With this improtant progress I think the next release of the editor will be sooner than expected ;)

Map Zoom

I implemented the zoom funtion for the maps. You can zoom in and out of the maps in several increments.
Here are some screenshots:

I will release a new editor version in the next few days after some futher stabilization.
Oh and a happy new year to everyone ;)

Map Display Improvement

I reworked the map data handling so the last few maps that were still messy (half of the Euro maps) are fixed now. Here are two examples:

After I stabilized the map display and fixed the map layer display for some maps I will upload a new version for you to play around with the new map display options ;)

Map Layers

I found a new data table that contains the screen settings for the maps. Among other data these data sets contain the map layer order information which is now processed by the editor.
As a result the maps (not all yet though) are displayed with the correct layers:

These data sets contain more interesting data so there may be some addition updates soon ;)
