Vash,

Have you figured out a fix for converted .pats showing up as black in the game? Editing/Renaming can be a pain if I am importing a lot of them at once, especially for the globals.

Also a feature request- I would love to have 32x32 thumbnails at the bottom of the screen, like Anicro. Sometimes it can be hard to see the pattern in the grid, especially if there are a lot of light colors. Also sometimes I need to get a pattern out of the game and into another program like Photoshop or Anicro. This is easy enough if I can make a screen grab of that thumbnail. Even easier if the program could offer the option of exporting a 32x32 .bmp.

That is what I do now for getting patterns out of the ACC pattern library. I take a screen capture of the thumbnail, load it into Anicro to find a compatible AC:CF palette, then convert to .pat for import into the game.

I don't plan on adding bmp support anytime soon. The image converting math does greatly increase the size of the program, and even with packing it is starting to get larger than I had originally hoped. That was not my intentions for this program when I started and I don't see it as a vital feature at this point. Maybe sometime in the future I can add support for bmp conversion.

As for the famous black pattern bug, I still have no understanding of why this bug occurs let alone a possible fix for it. WiiFan20 has posted many times his workaround to fix this problem if you're importing many patterns to the game. Currently, that is the only way to fix the "bug".

can you quote Wiifan's post to the first post of this topic? It'll be easier than having to search 33 pages.

I had the same problem! Just edit the patterns in-game, and they will have the correct pallette.

Upgraded to version 1.6!

Thanks Vash! I edited letters and didn't get a corrupted file!

Here are a few simple things I edited: (I like the last one better)

Hahaha. Nice examples

I used this and it mucked up my game. I got file corrupt, lol. Is there a way to reverse it? My backup died. :P
