Full Changelog: 3.2.1...3.3.0

Object Editor 1.1.0

This is the final release of the old winforms editor before it is removed from the codebase. It contains almost all of the bugfixes that have been added into the avalonia ui, since the underlying codebase is mostly the same.

Note: the index format has changed a lot since the previous winforms release (1.0.5). It will be incompatible and there is no auto-recreation of the index in this editor, so I suggest deleting any existing indexes you have. You may also need to delete your existing settings file, as that has also changed.

Object Editor 3.2.1

Full Changelog: 3.1.0...3.2.0

Object Editor 3.1.0

What's Changed

• Fix RLE image decoding by @LeftofZen and @duncanspumpkin in #29
  • This is a big bug fix and now all exported images except 2 in g1.dat (that require a special palette) will be exported correctly
• Ensure variably-loaded DAT object fields are 0 by @LeftofZen in #38
  • This just 'fails' an object's validation if any of the variable data fields are non-zero like they should be.
• Use ImageSharp by @LeftofZen in #91
  • A technical change in image manipulation library. No end-user effect.
• Add G1 loading function by @LeftofZen in #92
  • You can now open G1.dat! This is another features the old WinForms editor had but the new one didn't...until today.
• Fix scrollbars giving terrible UX by @ LeftofZen in #94
  • Scrollbars in the hex editor, property viewer and image table viewer are now much more user friendly and they scroll their contents and not the entire control around it.
• Sprite preview and animation by @LeftofZen in #95
  • Select multiple images (either with shift or control keys) and they'll be animated in the preview window. Also adds a zoom feature, but yes I know it has a) terrible UX and b) no nearest-neighbour scaling, but these are issues with Avalonia and will require a more in-depth fix in future. For now though, they work well enough that I'm shipping them as is. Enjoy!

Object Editor 3.0.0

What's Changed

What were all the rumours about? What is the big feature that's been teased? The big feature for 3.0.0 is an online object service/repository! You can now browse (almost) every object we know about and download them. This has long been a core issue with modding Locomotion - How do you find dat files? Where do you find them? Will they work? Those first 2 issues are solved with the object service, which is accessed through the new Online tab in the editor.

Such a big feature deserved a major version change under the semantic versioning, rules, and the object indexes made locally by the 3.* editor are incompatible with the 2.* versions in any case. The editor should automatically reindex them when you open them, but if it doesn't or something doesn't work, please report it either here on github or in the #object-editor channel on discord.

The hex viewer has been reintroduced as per the old winforms version of the editor. It's basic and probably won't be upgraded too much since other dedicated and better hex viewers exist, and rumour has it (what is it with rumours lately...) that a new object format is in development that doesn't involve data being written as specific byte locations, meaning a hex editor won't be needed in the near future anyways (except unless you want to look at old dat files in a bad hex viewer for some reason).

Note there are a couple of minor bugs that will be fixed soon, but they aren't breaking functionality so I'm releasing as-is to get it out of the way so I can progress to adding more features.
