cadeditor's Issues

Broken 1 level archive (Contra Hard Corps)

На стриме у Segaman-a увидели что архив первого лвл-а чуть битый в начале, не то что бы битый, но изменен немного. За остальные не знаю, редактировали только первый уровень.

Supported Games List Typo

Fist of The Nortstar ought to be Fist of the Northstar

predator nes tile colors

When replacing tiles in predator for nes, the colors do not change to the new tile replacing it. Everything else works fine and the tile functions as intended, but the colors do not update.

example: If you replace one of the blue rocks with with the brown grass, it turns into blue grass when running the game.

Shatterhand Stage C editor corrupts its tilesets when swithing between part 1 and part 2

loading up Shatterhand's Stage C (settings-shatterhand-3.cs) has an error that causes the other part of the stage garble it's meta-meta tiles (big blocks) when mode is switched.

this is caused by incorrect block settings in the descriptor file,

line 25 in the file defines big block count for part 1 and part 2 and it incorrectly defines part 1 to contain 128 meta meta tiles, this will overflow into the part 2 tilebank and corrupts it, coincidentally, setting mode to part 2 and then changing to part then messes up part 1 big blocks.

for fix, set big block count for part 1 to 84, which is the correct number of blocks for the stage.

Is Gauntlet support possible?

Thanks for considering!

Cad Editor crashing (?)

I'm tryed to make a Super Robin Hood hack, but after some time of work in Cad Editor, got crash.

Here's screenshot of crash

I don't understand crash reason, or it is program or maybe rom brokened

Проблема с ошибкой.

Добрый день писал вам на почту, но вдруг у вас нет возможности её проверить, так что дублирую сюда.

"Привет, очень интересная программа CadEditor, но у меня она почему то не работает. Точнее не редактирует игры. Я безумно сильно хочу переделать игру детсва, но что то ни как. Может я просто что то делаю не так? я выбираю игры, потом выбираю CS фаил игры,

но при запуске. Ошибка.

И ни как не могу найти решения. Я понимаю что я вас могу очень сильно отвлекать, просто желание переделать игру очень сильное. Я так долго искал хороший редактор, что найдя его уже не могу отпустить. Я кстати тоже работаю в опенсорс индустрии, но не программист, а куратор проекта"
