OS SHP Builder 3 Beta Testing Sign Up!
Hello people... after 5 months... we've... got a... beta version... for... this tool that used to be simple but we definitelly made a mess... I mean, it's really trully much better than what you ever expected for this tool, except that we dont have the so dreamed infantry generator yet. At least we have a cameo generator ... and it's a good one.
Sign Up in a reply, and we'll add you in the beta testing team. Here's the current beta testers:
And, here's a short of the aditional features of this beta:
Quote:
2.99.01 (aka 3.0 Beta 1)
- revisions by Banshee and Stucuk
- Added: Multiples Documents Interfaces. You can open the ammount of shp limited by your RAM at the same time. Each SHP may gain its own preview window.
- Added: Import Improved: More optimize options, more Colour Conversion Methods, ability to set a size for all frames independent of their original size and use pixel resizing or canvas resizing to ajust them.
- Added: Undo added! You can undo all your mistakes.
- Added: Resize Canvas.
- Added: Cameo Generator! It fully generates your cameo for RA2 and TS with few clicks of the mouse. It also comes with TS cameo backgrounds from SMIFFGIG and RA2 cameos made by ArgCmdr.
- Added: Preview has gained magnify (zoom) options.
- Added: Colour scheme support and instantaneous colour replacement. Also added support for Pal Pack I and II. Thanks to ArgCmdr.
- Added: 24 Bit Effects Colour Replacement. This is a variation of the colour replacement that allows you to add and reduce ammount of red, green and blue in the colours not specified at the Colours To Spare box.
- Added: Palette Conversion Colour Replacement. You can now do proper conversion between different palettes without screwing up the colours or appealing to PSP for every single frame (or exporting and importing again all the time).
- Added: PCX support added and although the Open Dialog box doesnt view it, you can import them as SHP or add them as cameo backgrounds (which we dont recommend).
- Added: The greatest majority of the old features are extremely faster. This includes: Import, AutoShadows, Colour Replacement, Sequence Maker, etc...
- Added: The usage of the select tool has been extended. You can now replace colours only in a selected area of the picture or make a cameo from the selected area of the picture.
- Added: New Shape: Elipse.
- Added: Colour Replacement is now ranged (from frame X to Y). Also, the normal colour replacement gained 13 spots, so you can replace 18 colours at once. Once you selected a colour to be replaced and a colour to replaced this colour, the program auto checks it for you.
- Added: You can now set which animations the sequence maker will have in the preferences. You can save them and load them whenever you want as well as export it to friends.
- Added: Fully compatibility with all custom schemes and palettes created with Open Source Palette Editor 1.1.
- Added: Batch tool and improved export tools.
- Fixed: Inumerous problems that were happening in the import image as SHP section and other loads of bugs...
And there are more stuff we added that we forgot... if you find out, please inform me . Last edited by Banshee on Sun Nov 14, 2004 7:00 am; edited 10 times in total QUICK_EDIT

I've increased the number of beta testers and let's see how it progress.
The beta has no installer because I'm updating it constantly. So, installer makes it harder to update.
Anyway, those who were added to the Beta Testing Group (check your email), please, head yourself to this topic to download the Beta.
Also read this and this before reporting bugs or giving suggestions. As for the others, wait your time.. I will be adding people slowly depending on the progress on this beta testing. _________________
