Hey dude, I have been looking forward to this since I saw your videos. I also hate making tile sets and this, so far works pretty well. I am wondering if there is anything that I can do to prevent a crash when I try to save.
Also, on totally different note, I was hanging out with Evan at PAX and he was showing me the cave diving thing you all are working on. It's fun!
You should put how to change the size of the tiles in your "basics" video - because I almost deleted this program when I thought it could only create 16x16 tiles, but now that I know it can do larger tiles - its my favorite program (I typically do 32x32 tile size games)
Hey Teknopants! Pixothello looks great, finally a Sprite Editor that is so simple that even I understand how to use it. :)
Unfortunately I ran into the same problem that Danik mentioned above. The reason is probably related to localization: The .pix file seems to be a plain text file that contains a bunch of Numbers, '128.0000 16.0000 ...' and so on. When I save a file (German locale settings) the Numbers look like this: '128,0000 16,0000 ...' The decimal separator is a comma here, not a point. Obviously this causes problems when reading the file again.
This means there is a workaround for most Europeans: Replace all ',' by '.' in the .pix file. I was able to load the file again after this.
Pixothello is fucking amazing, but, gives me the "Error reading real".
As Starmelt said, the problem comes from the decimal separator.
If you want to solve this, go to "Regional and Language Options" in the Windows Control Panel. Then click on "Customize this format" and change the decimal separator from this "," to this "."
I don´t know if changing this can repercute in any way to other programmes, so change it at your own risk.
This program is awesome but too bad i cant even use it. It freezes and crashes when I try to save. It also crashes if you accidently fill the same spot twice.

Jan has a bunch of really funky awesome games with kick-ass style.

Paul is a monster pixel artist. Seriously, at night he turns into a beast and cranks out some beastly pixels.
Cactus
Cactus has brilliant ideas that he puts into a game making robot that does the work for him while he drinks beer. How else can he be that awesome that quickly?
This program is really cool, but everytime I try to open a saved file I get spammed with this error message:
ReplyDelete"ERROR in
action number 1
of End Step Event
for object Control:
Error reading real."

Wow! You have a nice voice. ^_^
ReplyDeleteThis program is seriously cool. Any chance of transparency for layers though?
ReplyDeleteHello.
ReplyDeleteI can create some maps for 0space using this program?
And what instructions for this? Maybe some tutorial?
Thanks.
Where has this program been all my life? Love this, only thing I'd really like to see is custom tile size.
ReplyDeleteAlso bump to anon with having the ability in 0space to create your own levels ;D.
@Nie
ReplyDeleteI admit it isn't clear, but if you go to File> New, you can set the tile size.
Thanks to everyone!
