Thank you

I followed DC tips and uploaded the two in the same release, you should be able to choose between "CMT Windows.zip" and "CMT Linux.zip" when you click "Download"

@Piccolo I tried the new version but its crashing right at start

Looks like it can't find the path themes/editor

Hum weird. You can fix this by copying the "themes" folder (in the root folder of the zip folder) in the "_internal" folder (in the root folder as well). Thanks for the report.

EDIT : I republished the zip with this fix. Hopefully it's enough.

It works, thanks!

Hello! Thank you for this wonderful program! However, I haven't been able to use it for a long time because it doesn't work correctly for me. Sprites don't load at all. On top of that, all objects like Player, Enemy, etc., are categorized as "Type None". Levels also display incorrectly—or rather, there are no sprites and no background images for the levels. In short, all the data is there, but there are no images. I thought it might be due to Cyrillic characters in the file paths, but the path to my project doesn't contain any Cyrillic. I don't know what's wrong, but I've been wanting to try your program for a long time and just can't. I have to use obeditor instead. I have attached the screenshots below.

Avoid using special characters in both file paths and files. Probably they are blocking the images to load.

I checked, and there are no special characters in the file paths. However, there is Cyrillic in the scripts, but only inside the comments. Since I am Russian, commenting in English is difficult for me because my English is not very good.

I had installed a couple of non-English languages to my computer, and one of them was Japanese. I switched to Japanese for testing the animation labels after your report on receiving an error upon typing any non-Latin character. I'm unable to save the file with these characters unless I remove them from these labels.

Code:

anim attack #このファーストアタック
    delay 6
    offset 142 190
    bbox 126 97 20 92

I got notified with this error after attempting to save it:

Something went wrong during write process, saved canceled

When I save it with CMT, I'm unable to. But when I save it in external files, I'm able to.

@Piccolo I was having an issue with missing icons on the previous file

But after I redownloaded it, it works fine. thanks.

Question: How this "notes" works?

tightninja · Sunday at 10:41 AM

@Piccolo
Is there a way to prevent the .c1 files showing up when browsing for scripts? iOr perhaps a way to move them to a different location?

Yeah it was the same issue you had, but with another folder that needed to be moved as well. I think I fixed all potential folders in the reupload

O Ilusionista said:

Oh yeah I forgot I added this in the meantime. It just lets you take notes that autosave. Notes are a bit like temporary text files that you could otherwise open in an external text editor to note random things you need to do / remember.

When you are in the notes tab you need to click the + button to the left to create a new note. The title of the note defaults to the current date.

It's basically a backport of another app that I made that I included in CMT as well.

I'll look into this. The only thing you can do right now is disable this backup system (Main menu bar -> Options -> Disable basic auto-backup). There's still the advanced autobackup so, no risks. I'll probably disable this basic auto backup by default in next release.

I'll add a filter in next release as well to do what you wanted (filter out those files in the browser).

Hello again, I found the cause. It happens because of Cyrillic (Russian) characters. Here is an example of the animations and what the issue is.

C:

Anim    Follow20 #Idle Grab
    @script
        void self = getlocalvar("self");
        // Включаем физику, чтобы персонаж падал, если не на земле

        int now = openborvariant("elapsed_time");
        if(deadline == NULL()){
            setentityvar(self, "grab_deadline", now + 3000);
        } else if(now > deadline){
            setentityvar(self, "grab_deadline", NULL());
            changeentityproperty(self, "animation", openborconstant("ANI_Follow22"), 1);
            return;
        }
        float vx = 0;
        float vz = 0;
        int moving = 0;
        if(keys & openborconstant("FLAG_MOVEUP")){ vz = -1.5; moving = 1; }

        if(keys & openborconstant("FLAG_MOVELEFT")){ vx = -1.5; changeentityproperty(self, "direction", 0); moving = 1; }

        // Получаем текущую вертикальную скорость (tossv)
        float vy = getentityproperty(self, "tossv");
        // Устанавливаем скорость, сохраняя вертикальную составляющую

                changeentityproperty(self, "animation", openborconstant("ANI_Follow20"), 1);
            // Останавливаем горизонтальное движение, не трогая вертикаль
            changeentityproperty(self, "velocity", 0, 0, vy);
        }

Is it possible to add Cyrillic support to the program? This would prevent such issues from happening. I tested another mod that doesn't use Cyrillic characters, and everything works perfectly — the project loads fine, and the sprites display correctly. However, when I try to open my own CMT projects, they load with errors, issues, and completely missing sprites.

In short, the root cause is the Cyrillic text inside the comments, such as

Code:

Here is a specific example of the animation script code that triggers the errors:

        // ... остальной сброс ...
        // Сброс блокировки вертикальной лестницы, если клавиша U отпущена
        int iPIndex = getentityproperty(self, "playerindex");
        if (!playerkeys(iPIndex, 0, "moveup")) {
            setentityvar(self, "climb_block_u", NULL());

Yes, so the problem is definitely caused by those characters.

Hello, there must be some other factor, probably the encoding of the files. Because it works fine when I copy paste your text in some of my existing characters. I cannot fix the bug if I can't reproduce it, which is why it's always better to send full data.

Again, my guess is that it's not the Cyrillic characters themselves but the charset encoding that the EXTERNAL files come up with. CMT tries to work in UTF8 as much as it can, so new files created in CMT are UTF8 encoded and from there everything is smooth. But if the files come, from outside, and have special encoding then issues like this can happen. I already added layers to support some of them. If you want me to support yours, then at least send one of the problematic txt files itself (not just its content).

Okay, I understand. Once I upload the project to the cloud, I will send you the link.

Piccolo updated Chronocrash Modders Tools with a new update entry:

Changelog 0.7.11.4

Added a wrapper to compensate random case variations in several places that were case sensitive.

This change affects Windows only and will help if your files use case as if it's insensitive (for example declaring a frame with "Frame" one time then "FRAME" the following, and so on).
