NeoRHDN - Utilities - Utility Information

Capcom Sprite Assembler
Graphics Editors
Description
Older version by Matrixz - programmed with VB6.0 (compatible with XP and above): https://www.romhacking.net/utilities/983/

Current version (ported from VB6.0 to VS2022). Currently it has no difference with older version other than offering possibility to map tiles from a live table (no need to read them from ROM). It is available on github so anybody can contribute to it and add/fix stuff. Since it is programmed in VS2022, anybody with a recent version on Windows can run it without problems like the older version of MegaFLE_X had.

What it can do:

*Move tiles, edit their properties.
*It has a built-in tile editor, changes are reflected immediately on the main pic.
*For some games, insert and delete tiles, and insert/delete animation frames.
*There is a “support file” system in place for supported games. They are .txt files. Thus the editor can be configurated to work for hacks where sprite banks are moved. Other things are possible too.

Supported, or partially supported games:

*Darkwing Duck
*Duck Tales
*Mega Man 2, 3, 4 and 5.
*Mighty Final Fight

Now.. about the great issues with the program in its current form. Most of the sprites shows up with the wrong graphics. Only standard sprites and some enemy sprites should show up correctly. But most of the problems are how easy it is to corrupt sprite data. Data is separated into 3 types of data. Many times data is re-used by multiple sprites. So moving tiles in one sprite can lead to another sprite getting the same effect. Re-used data is also a problem when inserting/deleting tiles. If unlucky, you might be unable to properly edit a sprite, or two different datas go “into” each other.

If you want to be safe, follow these guidelines:

*Don’t use the “Clean Up Data” function, because I’m not sure if its 100% reliable.
*Don’t change Coordinate IDs.
*If there are multiple entries below “(Coord used by Frames:)”, do not insert or delete tiles.
