Cybaster said, February 18, 2010, 07:19:55 pmYeah, maybe. Just do it. DO IT! JUST DO IT! DO IT!Spoiler, click to toggle visibiltyAnyways, awesome piece of Java development you got here, Cybaster...and a very awesome time saving tool.Thanks to you I can finally stop being lazy with Jigsaws and get some Hires stages that I've been holding back finally out the door. I mean, what more can a guy ask for than a tool that jigsaws your images properly and puts them all on 1 .sff in just a few clicks.EFFING AWESOME TOOL my friend. THIS THING IS FROSTING ON THE CAKE!On a little drawback of things...we might start getting a bunch of ugly 1 layer stage releases, but it ain't nothing new.
damn it i was hoping to release a few more simple layered stages before having to add "thanks to Cybaster's tool" in the releases *oh well* thanks i want to try this on a few jpg pictures, i've been manually fixing the artifacts and have no patience for codes
Kids these days with their fancy automatic doohickies. In my day...From the looks of it, this is for creating one layer, static stages with no animation? Can't say I'd like to see more people taking random pictures and making "stages" of them(I just keep picturing those softcore porn stages where you fight in front of a giant woman's ass).BUT I love that it splits hi-color images for you. I'm gonna have to try it out because I used that method before and had to do it the hard way. If the tool is used like that and not like "I wanna stare at titties while I play Mugen" I can see some cool things coming from it. Edit: Oh and of course if this expands to have animations and layers it'll be awesome.

This is great! sweet contribution cybaster! has considered the possibility of adding two different images, or incorporate this one into a def file and sff file created before?thanks for sharing!
Cybaster is it not working for me because of my OS or something?Everyone else can use it but, not me FIX IT FIX IT DAMNIT.EDIT: Ah I see, you cant use pcx files :\ or maybe I was using the wrong resolution. Either way, I fixed it.
OH SHI-So many years waiting for a tool like this!! Thanks a lot Cyb, let me test it as soon as I can
I have to say even tho I have little to no interest in stage making, THIS TOOL ROCKS.It was fast, and easy to understand.
Had me some free time, and gave it a whirl. Everything works as it's supposed to, but the program doesn't generate the SFF file. (The DEF file, however, is generated just fine.) I think it may have something to do with the fact that I'm running Win7 64-bit. Yeah, that's most likely it.However, I'm glad this does work as advertised (judging by the code generated in the DEF files for me and the results others have posted in the thread), so thanks a bundle for the tool, Cy!
Wow do my eye's deceive me... a auto stage creator. Man i got to try this out, finally i get to create stages with all those sprites i have. Its too bad Virtualltek didn't think of something like this and i hear they are also making a stage creation program.
StormEX said, February 18, 2010, 11:17:14 pmWOW i think i'll be makng stages to! You Rock Cybaster Same here.I love how it lets me have to do only 20% of the work I do when I make a stage from scratch.It also really helps me with bounds and stuff. Thanks Cy for this awesome tool.
Oh crap i forgot to ask this question when i posted before. Is it a DOS program, because i really hate those? You know the one's like the old school mugen tools.
Thanks to everybody. Now lets answer some questions and remarks. @ Nnaajj : yeah, nobody uses PCX files as a base, only Mugen does. Glad you fixed your problem.@ Caddie : The initial goal of this tool is to accelerate the creation process, so that creators can focus on their animations and other stuff, rather than trying to limit colorloss and calculate parameters. Of course, I guess many people will release rushed static stages, but hey, it's always been like that, some people put work in their creations, others don't. At least now there won't be colorloss and bad coding. Also, I thought about adding other elements and all, but I'm not aiming for a Fighter Factory type program. I may add the possibility to add other images as foreground or background, but not more. People would have to set the deltas themselves, I can't choose for them. Animations and other things would be too complicated, and I want to keep the tool as simple as possible.@ MaxBeta : LOL nice ass. Anyway, PM received, will test tomorrow. @ People who have 64bits OS : yeah, sorry, SprMaker is not compatible with 64bits OS, as reported by Hank during betatesting. This tool was released by Elecbyte in 2001, and wasn't updated since then. Not much I can do. @ Reza : nope, not a command line tool AT ALL. THat's the point of the tool : making it accessible to everybody. Just try, you'll see.
