New Tile Type: Sink Through

With the help of Raeven0, I was able to add a new tile type to the tilemap editor:

A tile which makes it possible to use the "Liquify" move of Shadow.

For a little test I edited the following tile of the pyramid tileset:

                           

I also edited the pyramid entry map:

And here is the result in the game:

Damage Flag

Sorry for the long absence of news, I will try to increase the number of updates again ;)

I found the damage flag that decides whether an object can be attacked and whether the player gets damaged by touching the object.
As an example I set this flag for the jug carrying woman in South Cape:

I will now focus more on the object data and further enhance the event editor to make it finally possible to edit events and write them back to the ROM.

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 ;)

Here are the main changes compared to the previous release:

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 ;)
