OSSB Z-Branch

Zaaz · Disk Thrower **Joined**: 21 Apr 2013 **Location**: Canada

Okay, I've been posting my custom builds in a couple of different threads, and I realized this was a terrible way to distribute it. I'll use this thread to do so, for my current build and future ones.

Code repo. of this branch :
github.com/dubeg/OSShpBuilder

Current build is Z6.1, based on Banshee's build 3.20 (rev 52).

Z6
---------------------
- ReEnabled the grids, they should be fine now.
- Added kb shortcuts the form New shp :
- ENTER : execute same action as Button OK.
- ESC : execute same action as Button CANCEL.
- The Button of the dropDownList to hide/display the grid toggles between
no-grid and the last selected grid in the dropdownlist.

Z6.1
---------------------
- Grid is drawn one pixel higher.
- Grid and center are drawn over frame pixels, but under the selection layer.
- When the background is OFF, the frame pixels under a selected area will be drawn with shades of gray.

Z6.7
---------------------
- Fix the Background Color behavior.
- A double click on the Label BackgroundColor now toggles the background color (enabled/disabled).
- Merged with REV 61, added some things, kept intact others.
- Can show/hide the background (color palette index = 0).

TODO :
- Merge with r63 (add ENTER/ESC shortcuts to every modal forms)
- Shortcut to zoom in/out (Ctrl + MouseWheel)
- Shortcut to pan the canvas (Space + MouseDown)
- Implement Trimmer.
- Implement Drawing on multiple frames
- Selection ::
- Display selection dims.
- Resize selection with textboxes.
- Add to undo list :
- Undo 'Moved Selected Area'
- Undo Selection
- Fix the disabled tools.

EDIT : updated build, now z.6
EDIT : updated build, now z.6.7

Too bad that you are not sharing your source code. You know that the 'OS' part of the program means Open Source, right?

'dubeg'?

It stands for Guillaume Dube. Debug was already taken #Tongue

I already wondered why you misspelled debug, but I see #Tongue

Added new build, which only adds the option to not see the black background. Instead, you'll see a chessboard if you disable the background color. I also made it easier to disable it with a double click on the background color label. Next, I'll work on either the panning and zooming, or the draw through and trimmer.

Did you really understand the original purpose of the 'blackground color' box?

It is the color that is considered background (as transparent) in a selection, so you can copy or move non-squared shaped set of pixels around the image. It could also be used, in the future, as the inner color of a filled rectangle or elipse, while the front color would be the border.

oh no i didnt understand it like that. i will do some changes, disregard 6.6 then.

Regarding the shortcuts for OK (Enter) and Cancel (Esc). I've added it to almost all forms in 3.38 Beta 3. And they were totally worthless, as they get ignored because a text box or another component is selected.

Yeah I know. What I did was to link the OnKeyDown event of every textboxes *and other focusable controls* to the same OnKeyDown method. I will admit that's an awful way to do it, *but I think the shortcut is useful enough to make this sacrifice.*

EDIT : I think the boolean property KeyPreview would do the trick here.

Okay, z6.7. You can show/hide the background, and the background color with the selection should behave as it should.

Is this fork going to be the future of OS SHP Builder?

I mean... Is it the tool we (modders) should use instead of the original OS SHP Builder?

Can we expect regular updates in the future?
Or was it a temporary dev branch?

Banshee · Posted: Fri Jul 25, 2014 5:38 pm Post subject:

I think I've ported everything that I could to the latest official version of OS SHP Builder.

Thank you for your answer Banshee. I was confused with this fork.
