Subject: To JOHN ELLIOTT >>> JSWED and so on..
It is possible to change it, but for some strange reason people seem to find it very difficult. There is an editor for the .TUN format,
written by Ian Collier in Spectrum BASIC; see
http://www.seasip.demon.co.uk/Jsw/jswtune.html
for details. Alternatively, see
http://www.seasip.demon.co.uk/Jsw/experiments.html
for the assembly listing I used to create the "In the hall of the
Mountain King" tune.
Thanx, I`ll try to use that "TUNE EDITOR" :-)
"There are no difficult things when you really like that thing"
All this has come up before, but when Yahoo went from clubs to
groups the old postings all went from HTML to plaintext and now look
ghastly. Searching on ".TUN" will find most of it.
I see. :-)
John, do you plan to upgrade your editor.
Depends if I feel like it. But the source is included, so anyone who wants can make changes.
I understand, but as far as I know, it isn`t easy to edit win files.
It will be better if you`ll do it. It will be more proffestional.
I can tell you what bugs I`ve founded there.
You can tell me if you like.
1) Intro screen. (Not a bug)
- I really want that there`ll be a menu that will contain
different commands, like CLEAR ALL, DRAW A LINE, CIRCLE and so on.
Like a small PAINTBRUSH :-)
- Small window doesn`t work properly sometimes. I better say:
in some modes.. Check.
2) Make a help file in .doc format. But do not use .pdf format as not
everybody have the special program to read them properly.
3)When saving in +3 DOS format, it saves in the directory where there
is a JSW editor. If you will save it anywhere else, it will save in
your JSW editor directory anyway.
4) Sometimes when you`re deleting guardians, strange G00 guadian
appears that you can`t delete easily. :-(
5) There are some problems when placing a diagonal guardian. Can you
check it?
6)Cursor sometimes disappeares in SPRITE mode and in ROOMS modes at
the same time.
7) There are some bugs when editing MULTI-COLOUR sprites. JSWED can
easily exit to WINDOWS then.
8) Pressing ENTER at some times while editing ROOMS can cause to exit
it to WINDOWS.
9) I really miss an "AUTO-SAVE" function because I often forgot to
save what I`ve done during the agony of editing. :-)
10) All fonts changes only when you re-start your editor, or re-load
your file.
11) JSW window appears black colour when the screen flashes, or when
I was entering full screen mode during JSWED running. it is the
nastiest bug. But I know how to solve it. You`ll have to hide JSWED
while doing it.
It will be very good if you`ll read this, JOHN.
Thanx for the editor, anyway. BYE!
i don`t know what I will do without your editor..!!! :-)
SINCERELY YOURS,
igorekmak@...
