Tomb Editor Released

Is there by any chance a particular compression format the textures must be saved in? Maybe that's what I'm doing wrong.

You might have something in your texture set file then. TGA, PNG and BMP should work, I can't remember if there are other formats on the list of supported ones. I once made a PNG using Gimp and it caused a crash too, so you might be onto something... what format are you saving as again? Try BMP, I always find them safest.

In terms of other things I've found, Tomb Editor's Wad Tool doesn't seem to like wads that have only static items in them, like with some of the items uploaded to TRSearch. It gives an error and doesn't open them. It can be circumvented by opening them in the old wadmerger and putting the static items into a wad with movables though.

Also, I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but the sound editor doesn't seem to function right in the most recent released version. The sounds and settings changed revert to their state prior to editing when selecting another sound slot, even if you save them each after editing.

Both WadTool and SoundTool are not finished, hence the issues.

Ah, I figured as much! Tomb Editor may be unfinished, but it's still easily one of the most competent, carefully crafted pieces of fan-made (or even professional) software I've ever used. It still pleases me so much to see this amount of passion put into continuing the TRLE legend, even after all these years! I'm eager for the upcoming developments, but I'll remain patient.

As far as the texture goes, I honestly can't figure out what's wrong with it. It was a 24bit TGA and I tried saving it as BMP and PNG, but there was still no luck in getting TE to build. Seems to be the same for all the Manor Textures by Mike Quahe from TRSearch in their original forms. I was only using this texture set that I put together for testing purposes, but I'd really like to be able to avoid this problem in the future if I want to do any real work with levels.

If anybody wants to try, I put the texture set here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8yxc7d4h4u...bined.TGA?dl=0
I cut the textures, assembled them, and saved them using Photoshop, so maybe I just got the settings wrong when saving. I don't really know.

TGA needs to have the "uncompressed" option ticked when saving it.
At least TRLE/NGLE need the TGA to be uncompressed.

Does this work with TRNG yet?

Not completely.

Ah... I see, do basic scripts work? I really want to move on to a better roomedit but there are a lot of NG scripts in the project that I'm working on hehe, thanks Titak btw

This editor supports already a lot of TRNG stuff, it can be just a little buggy on some things, so yes, basic script works, you can still use NG_Center for that
