    • Nice update!
    I just wanted to now, though, why a 32x32 sprite I insert always seems to face down, even when it's supposed to be moving or facing different directions.

    Yes, I did change the animation type, from Standard, to Biker, to even HoHo (which should REALLY be Ho-Oh), but it ALWAYS FACES DOWN AND DOESN'T MOVE. What's wrong here?

    EDIT: I just checked something. I repointed a sprite (which had normal animations). Then, I inserted my own over it, and it screwed up like the first one. O.o
    What is going on?

    EDIT 2: Never mind, the second bug was fixed.
    But what about the first one?

    Mental note : Ho-Oh not HoHo

    If your using Firered try switching the "pointer1" to "083A3718"

    You can do this in NSE's hex editor, by selecting "Sprite Offset" and looking for the pointer 1 (REVERSED so "08 3a 37 10" would read "10 37 3a 08")

    Pointer1.png

    change the 10 to an 18


    Make sure you press save, and you should be done.

    Only problem here, though, is that I'm using BPEE...

    Then instead of using "08 3a 37 10"
    you would use: "08 50 95 1C"

    If you wondering where I'm getting these pointers, they're just from other sprites in the ROM that have the desired attributes"

    Yeah, I kinda guessed that I could do that.
    Is this simply a bug in NSE that, after updating, I (hopefully) won't have to sort out manually each time?

    EDIT: It turns out that it was that exact same pointer!
    Then, I manually changed the Palette Registers to the one of another sprite, and, well, it worked somehow.
    By the way, the 2nd number in the Palette Registers controls what slot the palette is loaded to.
    Maybe you could add that in soon, for further customization.

    • Update 1.7.2

    UPDATE 1.7.2

    The big thing in this update is that now NSE has it's own built in plug-in system,
    that allows you to access the power of NSE to do, well, allot of things XD.

    The big motivator behind this is that hopefully people will contribute plug-ins they've made, thus increasing the usability of NSE and benefiting everyone...

    Features:

    • A very simple syntax
    • Temporary memory for storing variables
    • If statements
    • Access to NSE's image handling capabilities
    • Basic math functions
    • Read and write
    • and More!
    NOTICE: THE LIST OF COMMANDS WILL BE POSTED SOON

    Included with NSE is the example "pokemon" plug-in that showcases NSE's new plug-in system. Allowing editing of all of the Pokemon's fronts and backs, both normal and shiny.

    Plug-ins can be written in Notepad, or any other text processing application, and plug-ins are saved with the extension ".npi"


    Notes(s)
    plug-ins are accessed through the options button

    The "pokemon "example plug-in is ONLY compatible with the English versions of Ruby Emerald and Firered

    I'm just wondering.. In this version, do you have the ability to edit the loaded palette slot, like I suggested a few posts back? (also, did you fix the bug I told you about in the same post?)

    No that feature hasn't been added yet, but it's on the list. ;)

    Regarding the bug, it seems to be a special case error and is still being looked into.

    Sorry these things haven't been fully addressed, but with school coming up I haven't been able to do to much...

    Hi. I tried making a simple plugin, using the original given one as a base, and tried to create one that would show us all item images. But, instead of that, all it shown was a graphical representation of the pointers. The palette was also pointers in RGB form.
    I started out by making one with what I understood of the old script, but later copy-pasted the old script changing only the pointers. The changes were, in every frame (didn't even change the number of frames):
    Code: 
    dump(0)
Append(8)
Multiply(I#)
Add(&h3D4294)
Read(mem(0), 3)
Flip(3)
Append(8)
Multiply(I#)
Add(&H3D4298)
    For Fire Red, were the first pointer is the image table for items, and the second pointer is the same table + 4 (as the table layout is [pointed image] [pointed image palette])
    Could you tell me what went wrong?

    Here's a small plugin I wrote to edit Pokemon Icon data.
    There are 2 frames, per picture, to a total of 6 frames (0-1 is palette 0, 2-3 is palette 1, 4-5 is palette 3). You can edit your pokemon, shifting between the palettes freely as long as you save your picture in between.
    The palette byte, however, remains the old one, so if you choose to use a different palette for the icon you're editing, you need to switch it manually.

    This code is given here under the BPRE tag, but it will work on any ROM version that came out after Fire Red (J). That is due to a small structure of data placed at 0x128 at the ROM data, where:
    0x138 is the Icon table pointer;
    0x13c is the Icon Palette byte data and
    0x140 is the Icon palette address table.

    PS: The file is in txt format, as I can't upload it as npi. Change the filename and the tag, and you're set.

    • I love this! It's perfectly made. There's absolutely nothing to improve.

    EDIT:
    Wait, I found something. Can you make it so if the import window is open, you can still access the main window? That way you can edit a LOT faster.

    And even better, if you could add the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+I for Import Bitmap; there's no shortcut for convenience.

    EDIT 2: Never mind, I realized that this was hacked and remade into Overworld Sprite Editor Rebirth Edition by HackMew.

    This tool was absolutely not made into Overworld Editor: Rebirth Edition nor made by HackMew.This is an original creation by link12552 which is superior in manyALL ways to Overworld Editor: Rebirth Edition

    • What? It seriously looks like a hack or an update of that. They are really similar.

    Also, if it were superior, then why does RE have a shortcut for importing bitmaps, and NSE not have it? There's no reason to not have that feature.

    Or they could just be separate and similar. Meh, you would know more.

    Technically, they ARE separate and similar (being created on two entirely different engines), but NSE borrowed a lot of things from Rebirth Edition.

    So, technically, NSE is an update to RE, if you want to think of it like that.

    Yes, Overwold editor rebirth is an improved version than NSE even though NSE has more features because RE has a shortcut. That makes perfect sense.
