Version 1.90 September 24, 2011 (11 year Anniversary of Lunar Magic!!)



-replaced the Map16 editor with a new one that features multiple tile

 selection, reload/save and undo/redo buttons, 2x zoom, 8x8 and

 palette remapping capabilities, an 8x8 mode with an 8x8 tile

 selector, etc.  This release also introduces a new .map16 file

 format intended to replace the old generic .bin files that were

 used in previous versions for exporting/importing single pages of

 Map16 data.  The new files can hold variable amounts of tiles, can

 optionally be imported to the same location they were exported from,

 and multiple files can be imported at once.  There are also 2 new

 buttons allowing you to export/import all the Map16 data for all

 tilesets from/to a single file.  LM remains backward compatible

 with both loading and saving the older raw .bin Map16 data files.

-added a feature to double left click on a tile in the level or

 background editors to select it in the Map16 editor, and you can

 also double left click on a tile in the Map16 editor to select it

 in the 8x8 editor.

-removed being able to paste the current page from the Map16 editor

 into the background editor with Ctrl+Shift+Insert, as the new Map16

 editor makes it unnecessary.

-added a new "Add Offset to Background Tiles" menu item to the level

 menu, which allows adding or subtracting an offset from all tiles in

 the background, much like F9 does to selected tiles in the

 background editor.  Also made this function able to change the BG

 Map16 bank setting automatically when needed.

-added a new "Remap Direct Map16" menu item to the edit menu, which

 can remap specified Direct Map16 objects in a level to others in

 case you've moved the original Map16 tiles to a different location.

-made it possible to set Luigi's starting position on the overworld

 to a different location than Mario's.

-added an option to the overworld editor that allows disabling the

 original game's path fade effect, which frees up colors 1-7 of

 palettes 0-3 and C-F, and GFX slots SP3 + SP4.  Also added a setting

 to control the path revealing speed when this option is used.

-expanded the overworld's layer 1 Map16 data to 2 full pages.  Tiles

 on the second page will generally act like tiles on the first page.

-included an ASM hack from DW:TLC that expands the number of

 overworld pipe and star indexes to 0x80.

-updated the overworld editor so that if the tile that replaces the

 top of a castle when destroyed is edited, the game will correctly

 display the edited tile in the destruction sequence.

-added an entry to the options menu to allow using an alternate GFX

 Bypass dialog that lets you type in the GFX files to use instead

 of selecting from a list.  Previously this option could only be

 changed by pressing Shift-F4.

-added using Control-Alt-Left/Right click in the palette editor for

 copy/pasting an entire row.

-added a "Paste all Slots" button to the Exanimated Frames dialog

 which pastes all copied slots to the same slots they came from,

 and moved the "Insert all Slots" button to the side.

-made it possible to use text labels for custom sprite tile

 arrangements, which appear the same way that LM shows certain

 sprite commands.  Check the help file for more details.

-added a prompt to create an IPS patch after locking a hack.

-changed some code so that applying an IPS patch of a locked hack to

 a ROM will cause LM to close the ROM after patching instead of

 closing the program.  But for convenience you can still use F4 to

 run the previously open ROM in your emulator.  Thanks goes out to

 GlitchMr for bringing this up.

-made a slight adjustment to sprite 61 in LM so it will appear the

 same way in the editor as it will in the game.  Thanks goes out to

 GlitchMr for pointing this out.

-made the edit controls in the Exanimated Frames dialog slightly

 larger to allow entering all digits for direct offsets.  Thanks

 goes out to imamelia for reporting this.

-fixed a bug from 1.80 where having auxiliary .msc .dsc etc files

 with a size of 0 bytes would cause LM to crash if creating a full

 restore point.  Thanks goes out to iRhyiku for submitting the data

 that helped figure this out.

-fixed a bug from 1.80 where the restore point created by locking a

 hack was invalid.

-fixed a bug from 1.70 where opening an mwl file with an unmodified

 background could sometimes cause LM to display the background using

 the wrong BG Map16 bank (although if saved to the ROM, the correct

 setting would still be preserved and used when the level was

 reloaded).  Thanks goes out to Ultimaximus for reporting this.

-fixed a bug from 1.64 where locking a hack prevented LM from opening

 any other ROMs and had to be closed.

-fixed a bug from 1.50, where if the gameplay table in the ROM was

 corrupted for any reason (like the user overwriting it with a

 patch), Lunar Magic could crash while moving the mouse cursor over

 a block that referenced the invalid data.  Also fixed a similar

 bug from 1.30 in the old Map16 editor where it could crash while

 right-clicking to copy a tile with the invalid data.

-fixed a minor display issue from 1.20, where edits to the Map16

 tiles that make up a pipe would not be displayed in the main level

 editor until you either saved the changes to the ROM or changed

 the pipe view index.

-changed window border style setting for main and overworld editor

 as apparently Win7 doesn't handle that border type on application

 windows when Aero is enabled.  This had resulted in weirdness from

 Aero like the caption/title bar of the window being partially

 offscreen when maximized, and the inner window border occasionally

 appearing as unerased pixels.
