Metroid Advance Game Editor Themes

[Conner]

Ever since MAGE was made open source, I felt the need to make a dark mode for us gamers, so we can hack metroid at night without burning our eyes out.
A few months ago I finally started working on it. After finishing theme support I started slowly adding more and more QOL improvements that I and others from the community wished to be in MAGE for a long time.

I made this topic to make the publication easier.

If you find any crashes or bugs please report them either on the Metconst Discord server, the MAGConst Discord server or in this thread.
DO NOT report bugs to biospark! He is no longer actively working on MAGE / MAGEThemes.

If you have any feature requests, post them here, maybe I will implement them :razz:

Note: Since there hasn't been extensive testing, there might be a few crashes that can happen. Make sure to do regular backups of your hack (as one should anyways!).

Having an easier and possibly more visual way to change the Y position of effects. Like for example being able to use the mouse and drag in the room editor to set the level of water in the room

Configurable default clipdata. ROM-specific and per-tileset. Possibly written to the project file, or a new file that can be imported/exported.

It would be nice if we could zoom in on the tileset, small details can be pretty hard to see sometimes.

As a workaround for this, I copy-paste the tileset into some blank spot in the room editor, and then zoom in with that

I don't expect these features to be added but they would be amazing if they could be!

1. Project file merging: This feature would merge the existing data in project files into one project file(This probably is way to hard to code/make into reality so I really don't expect this one)

2. Built in GMI: A built in GBAtroids music importer would be awesome as there not only be no need to download another program for music importing but also allow for direct importing instead of having to use ASM.

3. Built in ARMIPS ASM compiler: This could save time on having to apply multiple ASMs manually and instead have them all compiled in Mage itself.

I haven't really found any bug and this version of Mage is awesome! Amazing Job Conner! :cool:
