Gene Splicer(An open source editor for ZM and MF)

[interdpth]

Hello for the past  2 weeks I have been working on a new editor for Zero Mission and Metroid Fusion.

DH was too cluttered and the code was super messy. As I plan to be  done romhacking by 2011
I wanted to leave this momento I'll work on it a bit more, but i'd like help.
As such. The project is on google code, where you can download it


To get it you simply go here

If anyone wants to add code please e-mail me, IM me, or PM me.

Have fun :D

Oh, saving is under the Room menu.

Looks like this could easily evolve into a SMILE looking program. I'll test it in a little.

Edit: I've noticed that clicking doesn't always work on the tile you specify. Sometimes it's to the right, below, or diagonal the one you clicked to the right.

[Quietus]

Seconding the above.  Where I'm clicking is not where stuff's happening.

[interdpth]

Click to the top left of the tile you want to place and it'll  place there. A rect telling you what tile you're on will appear in a later version :)

Click to the top left of the tile you want to place and it'll  place there.

Yea, I figured that out. Just the fact that you have to click the top left is what bothers me. Also some rooms look rather bland... like it's all darkness or all lava. Either rooms are actually programmed like that or I'm just not using layer editing.

sounds like it's more troublesome to use than DH atm... but when it gets cleaner, i'll definitely try it

[dwarf74]

:) this looks like it could be awesome. Just keep workin on it, and i'll use it. I think once i can see all the sprites and stuff i'll begin usin this instead of DH :D I've messed with it some, and i freakin love the layout compared to DH (yay! now theres not 3 different tabs for the program! Also love the fact that the tileset box is a lot bigger)...when it gains a few more features, im gonna use this. I'll use DH for anything that i can't do (importing backgrounds)

oh..uh..will this program have the same save problem DH had? In DH, every time you hit save, it looked for a new space to save changes, and could only save 400-450 times. Then, every time you would save, DH would crash and you couldn't work on it anymore (fixed for now by expanding ROM)


anyways, has a lot of potential :D

not sure how i missed this.  it looks pretty nice.  why do you plan to be done romhacking by 2011, though?

[Phazar]

I'll probably test this when I find time.  It's about time MF/MZM hacking technology advanced.

why do you plan to be done romhacking by 2011, though?

It most likely has something to do with a little something called real life.

interdpt,when i try gene splicer, my antivirus software deletes this. any help.(i use norton.)

[Eppy37]

It looks good from what i can see. Now if only it would work for MF...

[Malpercio]

It looks good from what i can see. Now if only it would work for MF and PJ Boy would give us a patch to remove the event system

fixed

[Zephoras]

Nice work! once again Interdepth has saved the day! :grin: Also it wont let me edit room one... but the others work Thanks!

Well, it's two years, two months, and two weeks.  Maybe twoday just brings it in line. :^_^:

[MetroidMst]

It is obvious you can't find a program and thank the person who made unless it falls within a month of it being released. That is obvious a thing. Right. . .?

[Quietus]

Hey, Mst.  How come you can find the oozing sarcasm tags, but I can't. :O_o:
