Custom Sprites - VernJensen - 02-22-2007
Well, for those who wanted custom sprite replacement on a per-mansions basis, just like you have been able to do with tiles since 1.0.4, your request is now granted in the upcoming 1.0.8 release. :-)

Just kidding, major improvement! Especially for someone like me who lives in a custom world.

Sweet! Do we still have to go into ResEdit to edit signs to say something? :-? And... how exactly do you edit tiles through theis way? :-? Never figured it out!

Wingy,
I posted my tutorial on the board a week or so ago. Let me know what problems you're having and I'll see if I can help.

Yeah, I'm afraid the reason why ResEdit is required to edit signs is due to legacy code.... If I allowed editing of signs from within the editor, you'd be limited to a maximum of 255 *characters* (not words) per sign, which isn't much! It's due to the limitations of the legacy dialog code I'm using.

There isn't any way to write directly to the text resource from within the editor?
Re: Custom Sprites - ryos - 02-23-2007
The limitation is not in whether or not you can write to the resource, but how many characters the editor's legacy dialog code will let you type. At least, that's what I got out of Vern's post.
Re: Custom Sprites - joeb - 02-23-2007
Vern,
Are you using XCode (Cocoa) or Codewarrior? I didn't think XCode had that limitation. I know CodeWarrior has the pstring type (based on the old pascal string type which was 255 characters.
