GraalShop Improvements

Fogles · #1 10-11-2005, 10:20 PM

I think you guys should update the graalshop, add..

).Be able to turn the sprites into a 360degree angle.
).Add frame "undo's", right now undos are only for the sprites.

Those are my idea, post more.

Make something that'll turn the ganis into nice little gif files for easy showing on the forums!

Maybe some kind of script editor.

I'd settle for having it use the filenamecache.

More ease of use XD Seriously though, It is a bit confusing

If it wasn't confusing, it'd be too easy. Its fine the way it is, but the thing that gets me is that you have to go into the text version to get the sound name. Just have it be a little icon on the screen, thats what I suggest.

But you agree it's confusing

if it was easier, people could make even better ganis.

It's easy if you know what your doing, you must know frame work, how to get the image sizes, and x,y's.

It's quite easy.

Maybe they should add a "realtime tutorial".

I'd like something to make it easier to add new sprites. As shown in my "screenshot," you click a button to select the area of an image you want to add as a sprite. If you don't select perfectly you could change the numbers on the bottom to update the selection rectangle.

Who said it's bad for it to be "way too easy"? The Graal Level editor is as easy as hell, why shouldn't GraalShop be the same way?

Cool, so all you would have to do it just fix the width, and height.

I would say that since the editor is too easy, that'd be the reason that 100000 people can LAT and like, 100 can gani, in an inaccurate summary basically. If its too easy, then they're'll be too many ganiiers out there. Its arguable on both sides, I'd say. But the thing with the image is also good. But yeah, if you understand Graalshop, it IS easy to use.

Edit for Damix due to throttle:
No, I don't want less developers. I'm pointing out a fact. 3/4 of the people that visit Myrrodin asking for jobs can LAT, and the other few can often script, but not GFX or gani. There aren't that many ganiiers out there already, which I appreciate because it often leads to ganiiers practicing their craft alot because they're rare out there. Again, arguable from both sides.

You click and drag the part of the image you want, then change the numbers on the bottom if you want it perfect.
