Thanks Shiru!

If you're looking for other little feature to add

In CHR editor:

+ shift CHR up/down/left/right
+ flip CHR horizontally/vertically
+ colour fill tool

No pressure though, they would just be the icing on the cake.

Great job

Clipboard would be fine - thanks!

Shiru, Would it be easy to implement a "export tile numbers" function? You would select part of the nametable (using shift and drag) and then select the export function and either binary data be exported row by row of the selected area, or even better, export hex numbers (or .byte/.db?) So...

I don't want to spend too much time on it, it is just a little tool for rather specific tasks, but I can spend few days on it. I'm afraid that zoom+scroll could be not enough. For example, with 16x zoom (as in CHR Editor window) you only be able to see 16x16 area, and with 8x (smaller zooms aren't ...

I don't know how much time you want to spend on this Shiru or how much you'd be happy moving away from what it was originally but personally I would lose the CHR window and do the tile editing in the tileset itself (with zoom and scroll, as you say). Then it would be easier for you to draw graphics ...

Ah I see. I tend to just work in YYCHR because it's fast and easy so I guess I'm just giving you ideas that would make me use NESST instead :) If you're still up for adding features though, the rectangle and line tools work in the tile editor. I find them handy - actually I use the rectangle tool al...

Works great Shiru, I didn't think about associating the nametable with the .chr file too so that was a nice surprise :D If you're still interested in more ideas? Some of the drawing modes in YYCHR are actually quite handy: the line tool and the rectangle tool especially. Also the ability to remap co...

Brilliant - many thanks Shiru

+ Grid is much better + Love the nametable editing stuff + Association of .pal with .chr is really good, it doesn't seem to work if you double-click a .chr file from Windows though? Could you also have it remember the last folder/path you accessed so that when you reopen the program you don't have t...

Cool!

I'll check it out right now.

Shiru: how easy is it to implement the ability to double-click a .CHR file and have NESST open with that file? Currently it doesn't work - NESST opens but with no file loaded.

Heh, sorry :) I try to practice just a few things to show but there are often bits where I do the wrong thing or think of something else to do or just plain forget what I was supposed to do next. I do try to keep them as short and interesting as I can. One time though I think I ended up doing a 21 m...

Still early days yet but it's taking shape quickly.

I was going to say the same about the grid (16 x 16) but I'd also suggest drawing all the grid lines in dots. Your tool seems to suffer the same problem as YYCHR in that it uses one of the palette colours to draw the grid so depending on what you're putting on the nametable, the grid lines can be 'i...
