The Data Workstation has been quite a welcomed project since its beginning a month ago (20th January 2009).

Here's a list of what the Data Workstation can do:

Code:

Tabbed files
Find/Replace Dialog
Syntax highlighting - includes comments
Quick reference panel for your data changing needs (needs an internet connection)
Show/hide Reference and Frame Maker Panels
Frame element template generators
Undo/Redo functionality
Open multiple data files
Preview the sprite render + Area highlighting (Bdy and Itr; more frame elements to come in the future)

>>Download<<
>>ext folder<< - goes in the "app" folder. (you may use the ext folder from previous versions). This is needed for the reference panel to load.

>>Download jar<< - [Ctrl] + [R] instead of [Ctrl] + [Space] for updating frame maker.

Code:

[Data Workstation v0.5c] 28/02/09

Changes in this version
--------------------------------------------------
JSlider is now on the side
Sprite number is shown underneath the rendering area
Wind's bmp converter is used during loading of sprites (8-bit compressed bmp support)
Progress bar is on the bottom right
About dialog is updated

both the jar file and the "Data Workstation.exe" work.

notes
- Frame Maker will render the Bdy and Itr areas for the frame you are in when u press Ctrl + Space*
- You can open multiple data files at the same time
- Frame Maker has a slider for the sprite numbers (loads images when u load the data file if the images are in the same folder)

*the caret position must be between a "<frame>" and "<frame_end>"

I know I'm reaaaaaally lazy, and I didn't even bother updating the w/es (history etc.), but if u've got v0.5c running well, just download [this] (yes i know it still says 0.5c but it's 0.5d; 0.5c is renamed to 1DWv0.5c.rar). this is DWv0.5c.jar, so replace it in the app folder.

what's new:
- different coloured itr areas for different itr kinds
- loads sprites from up 2 folders + follow sprite path, or same folder (first has priority), so if u open deep.dat in the lf2 data folder, it will automatically go look for the sprites in sprites/sys.

btw: look at henry's D^J frames. it's quite pretty =D

you will need Java 1.6 to run this. get it [here]
