RE: Brand New Data Changer - empirefantasy - 03-19-2018

Hi Qendolin!

Nice to see somebody is putting effort on DC.

I have not downloaded your DCer, as I will not do any data changing modification now, but I would like to giver you a good suggestion on my side:

There are several visual data changes now. Creating a new one will not be very fruitful for community, I think it would be better to extend/develop one of existing ones.


You can check the most relevant (at least in my opinion) here:
https://lf-empire.de/forum/showthread.php?tid=6669

https://www.lf-empire.de/forum/showthread.php?tid=9064 <--the most advanced one

these two are most worthy to be extended.

RE: Brand New Data Changer - Qendolin - 03-19-2018

Thanks for your feedback!

Unfortunately I don't know any C language well enough to extend any of those editors. :(
Obviously there is no doubt that mine won't get nearly as good as some other editors that already exist but since I started this as a "just for fun" project I will likely keep improving my Editor.

Maybe someday it will be better in some areas than any other (probably not tho) and someone will be happy that it exists.
I am also trying to keep my editor very simpel and easy to understand.

Hi! Is the project open-source?

Currently not, but I can send it to you if you want to have it.

RE: [WIP] Data Changer - seikosantana - 05-23-2018

What language is it written in?

It's written in Java (obviously) and uses the JavaFX framework.

RE: [WIP] Data Changer - seikosantana - 05-23-2018

Aww... I don't know java..

Can I have the source?



Anyway, in the Visual Frame Creator, I think that the rectangles should be translucent or no fill (only borders). It will make a better look.

They are actually translucent but you can't really see it in the screenshots. Also when I took the screenshot the opacity was set to 60%, I've lowered it since.

I can't send you the source code right now but in few hours.
