A few bugs and suggestions/feature requests

[linkanon]

Bugs:

• Personalities with slots larger than 29 (Warm) crash the program.
• I couldn't reproduce the other bugs I mentioned in /aa2g/ so that might be the cause of me being an idiot.
• Patcher does nothing if it thinks the maker is incompatible(I use Frontier + that bugfix) but I guess that's working as intended.
• Poses tab: "Change displayed personality" is a bit confusing and counter-intuitive imo. Perhaps switch them around and relabel like Display <card's old personality> as <new personality> [Set][Blank][Restore All]
• Background, Roster, Border and Clothes tabs don't update their graphics when you restore defaults.

Features:

• Ability to set empty borders and personality labels
• Ability to change personality/height of the clothes card for the purpose of being able to change angle on card face/roster. Possibly with previews like here
• Ability to select which part of the image to use when replacing roster image from PNG. Like a resizable rectangle that you can move around
• For poses selection having previews ready would be convenient. Maybe either open the folder on a button click or have a preview window displaying currently selected pose.

Bugs

• Already started working on that
• What other bugs? I didn't see any post relating to AA2Snowflake in the last couple of threads
• Working as intended, but do you have the instructions on how to use a hex editor to make that bugfix? I might implement that as well
• Will do
• Already knew about this

Features

• Wouldn't be hard to do
• If I can't get source for that icfTool it's going to be a dead end
• If I'm going to do that I might as well also do a full implementation of something like JG2_CPL.exe into AA2Snowflake
• Wouldn't be hard but would make the download massive, might make it a seperate plugin

• By "other bugs" I meant when i told you like a week ago about it making cards large in preview window even though the card itself is 200x300. As I said I couldn't reproduce it so the problem was likely on my end.
• Bugfix
• Previews as a separate plugin would be nice as well. Alternatively make it be able to point to the previews folder like with wizzard migrate since DIY kit won't be updated probably ever.

About the icfTool

You can still change the angle to a certain degree by changing card's personality and height i.e. switching between presets. Or move the .icfs around which is like substituting personality label in a sense. Maybe potentially add the ability to use custom presets from .icf file.

Anyway I think I found the icfTool source. By "you-know-what forums" she probably meant hongfire

According to the source, the .icf format just seems to literally be 8 floats separated by newlines in a text file. Writing an editor for this seems straightforward enough. I might even be able to abolish the need for replacing personality .tga files since poses can be tweaked this way

By Alternatively make it be able to point to the previews folder like with wizzard migrate since DIY kit won't be updated probably ever. you mean to get the user to point to a folder already containing the previews? I'd rather the plugin solution since everything is already set up, just a dragdrop of a .dll and some files, although I'll have to check if I can make the previews small enough that I can package it with the main program without making too big of a difference

If you mean what's in that post then it's the output of the tool that looks that way. You can pretty much copy its functionality or outright include it.

If you make a decent implementation then yeah, no need to replace the personality labels. Though there's still the case of extra personalities working incorrectly with poses so you still have to switch those to one of the vanilla. And being able to set the label as blank.

Yes, that's what i meant. Lets user open one less window when snowlaking. Plugin is a superior implementation though. The whole preview folder is ~20 Mb iirc and that's not so much. Would be perfect if you break it down by pose.
