Looking for decent MC bitmap editor
Hey there,
I'm looking for a multicolour bitmap editor with some specific features. I've looked at a lot of tools here, but couldn't quite find what I need.
Basically I need an editor which allows me to 'lock' specific bitpairs (for example $d800+) and allows the use of the keyboard or a mouse, pixeling with a joystick sucks balls.
Usually I would write such a tool myself, but since I'm probably the only one of Focus competing at X'2016, I'm a little pressed for time.
An 'other platform' tool would also be perfectly acceptable, but since all my boxes run Linux, most of those I can probably write off.
Any ideas? Any suggestions are welcome, I've been away from the scene for quite a few years, so I'm not quite up to speed with what tools are available.
Cheers. |

What does "lock" mean? A kind of treatment of clashes? |

With locking bitpairs I mean I could for example set all 11 bitpairs ($d800+) to a certain value, and when I would cause a colorclash, the editor should refuse to alter $d800+.
Same goes for $d022 and $d023, presetting these allows for creating tilesets which can later be converted to charactersets. I already did this in Boogie Down Paint 5.0-rc2, but there are still some bugs in that, unfortunately. |

Color-X4 is not exactly what you're looking for, but it will help when you change your workflow.

Thanks guys for the suggestions, I'm looking into those tools now.
For Pixcen I'll have to install Windows in a virtual machine, tried running it with wine, but that didn't quite work out. Oh well, I'm already running my code in an emulator, so why not do my pixeling in a VM ;) |
