v3.1.1
Corrected sprite parser algorithm
Added more shortcuts
- Ctrl+B, Ctrl+Shift+B goes to next/previous frame
- Ctrl+Tab, Ctrl+Shift+Tab changes active document

Ok. Seems pretty fantastic! Thank you very much. Now it's much easier

You're welcome

Right now I miss something that would allow me to jump from one frame to next using some shortcut or linked button.
Would be nice to get a shortkey for going to frame indicated in "next" and in the frame that is next just in line order.

Implemented.

Also, Yin's dcer has more intuitive rectangle editor. It would be perfect to be able to drag and edit existing rectangle without overdrawing it every time.

You can move the rectangle by just clicking (without moving mouse). Making a rect-editor like YinYin's is quite a bit of work. You can try changing those text boxes for making pixel perfection.

I've found one strange thing.
Your preview is somehow based on the values described in the brackets at the spritesheet declaring.

Code:

file(0-159): space_f\chopper.bmp  w: 104 h: 85  row: 10  col: 16
file(160-155): space_f\effects.bmp  w: 79  h: 79  row: 6  col: 1

If I write things in the brackets incorrectly (which i often do, since i don't need these for anything) then the app is calculating the sprites being used basing on the wrong values, not as the lf does. IMO these should be more invormative then being used, and real sprite should be calculated being determined by row,col values multiplied.

Fixed.

You're lucky to have me on my holiday

From Where can I get it? I already have YinYin's Visual Data Changer. But its not that cool. I hope your's will be.

Just look at the first page of the thread.

About Ctrl+R shortcut and Document Navigation
These are probably among the most time saver features of LF2 IDE. Frequently, data changers need to jump between frame indexes. Although LF2 IDE supports 'jump to frame index', this method of manually writing frame index is unnecessarily slow. Instead, Ctrl+R will immediately do it for you. How? Double click on an index so it gets selected. Then press Ctrl+R. For example: You want to jump to the DJA special move of some character. Seeing `hit_ja: 230` you understand it's starting at frame 230. Double click 230, press Ctrl+R and you just jumped to frame 230.
Now that's sweet. But what if you want to get back where you left? Simple! Either click "Navigate Backwards" button or use Ctrl+U shortcut. Document Navigation is there to serve you.

As usual, download links are on the first page. Feed back is highly appreciated!

Double click on an index so it gets selected. Then press Ctrl+R. For example: You want to jump to the DJA special move of some character. Seeing `hit_ja: 230` you understand it's starting at frame 230. Double click 230, press Ctrl+R and you just jumped to frame 230.

Why doesn't it just figure out that the cursor is above a number automatically? Heck if it is over the hit_XY: part it could probably figure out I want the next number. Data changing is pretty well documented so it should be easy to figure exactly which tags designate a frame and which don't. There is the occasional gotcha such as

itr: kind: 8 dvx:

, but other than that it

That can be annoying, in my opinion. Having the number (or even the tag, as you suggest) highlighted is more "reassuring". A double click isn't really that much of an effort. Perhaps, it can be reduced to a single click if it does as you say, but with the position of the caret and not the cursor?

(and from a technical point of view, it would be more trouble than its worth if the library he's using doesn't have a way to convert mouse position to line-character position)

I was talking about the caret (text cursor) though I didn't make it particularly obvious.
For some reason I dislike the word caret.

[NightmareX1337]

What I thought about doing is to make text editor (ScintillaNET) emulate double click while holding Ctrl, just like Visual Studio. I couldn't figure out how to do that so didn't bother further.

Interesting project. I am not much of a DCer, but I think it is nice, that someone developed something like an IDE for LF2. Now if that only was not a visual studio project, but rather something using free software or no IDE project itself at all (needing an IDE to work on it), that would be more awesome.
