So, I've some free time and I decided to spend it putting my hands on TileMolester.

I planned only to add some simple features, things that I could do easily.

So far:
-Internal palettes can be added using hexadecimal addresses.
-Added Nintendo DS support to the File->Load window
-Added an internal palette shifter and the palette address on the status bar



I plan to add a little textbox to get a custom palette shift (for example, i could want to shift by 256 pixel and not by only 1) but I have to make sure that what I did so far is ok.

I have to say, this is the first time I work on someone else's sources, and I must say that it has been magnifically written, I really hope not to f**k up everything SnowBro did.

Can you rip Swing out of it and insert a better UI framework? Because let's face it, Swing is a massive steaming shitpile.

[Mewster]

I always thought the same =/ but I don't know it it's something I could do easily without breaking things here and there.

I'll try to take a look at it, though.

edit:

I forced the system's UI, but it's still through swing. Seems innatural, reverting to the original one atm

Well, glad I'm not the only one at least! To be completely honest, I never ever use Tile Molester, and it's almost entirely because of Swing.

...suddenly it got me that I should have used the Lab313 Tile Molester, they already added interesting things... does someone has their sources (I asked in their forum, but if they are already available I could work faster)?

An option to increase the tile width, copy to/paste from photoshop direcly, and a better N64 support would be much appreciated.
The interface is horrendous.

as I already said, I know almost nothing about technical things.
(but the import/export image is already there).

Maybe it's just grown on me too much, but I don't see what's so bad about Tile Molester. It is my tile editor of choice – I would even go as far as saying it is the best I have used. I just wish it would have some features from GGD, namely the palette explorer and being able to adjust canvas to something else than x * 8 pixels.

I'm sure it's powerful, but I just can't get past the awful Swing-based user interface. Swing is pretty much solely responsible for putting me off Java for over a decade.

I sent a first version of the tool based on 0.16, it's on queue; I just managed to get in contact with Lab313 so I'm going to update that version from now on.

edit: nevermind, sources were lost. I'll insert mine them on the next version I'll upload, but they won't have Lab313's update

[Rhys]

You could always try decompiling it? Should be able to see what they've changed fairly easily

[Mewster]

Yes, that's what I'm doing right now
