LALE - The new Link's Awakening Level Editor

[Fatories]

Topic Locked as there is now a LALE category. Any information in this post is now out of date, please go to the LALE board to view the latest information on this project.

Welcome gentlemen/ladies to a project I've been working on for a decent amount of time. After about a year of not actually working on it until a week or two ago, I am finally able to say I am happy with LALE and what I have created to the point where I believe it is ready for a public release. As of right now I do not know if I will continue to update it with features; however, I will fix any bugs that are found with the program.

LALE or Link's Awakening Level Editor (very original name) is a user friendly editor I have been working on. It is very easy to use and everything is loaded 100% from the ROM making it a proper editor.
It is stated in the readme file, but I will state it in this post as well:

The Link's Awakening Level Editor (LALE) is an editor created by Fatories and is designed to edit a "Legend of Zelda, The - Link's Awakening DX (U) (V1.2) [C][!]" ROM. The editor is based around this version of the game and using any other ROM could and most likely will result in many errors.

Please make sure you use this version of the game when using my editor otherwise and reports of bugs will be inaccurate.

I would like to thank Lin because without him this editor would not have been made because he was the one who so kindly helped me learn Gameboy Assembly and provided some information on Link's Awakening so I could create an editor for it.

Enough talk about the editor, how about you see it in action and judge for yourself. If you have any suggestions please feel free to tell me.

A link to the most recent video I have made of LALE:  (this video is out of date with the actual release, but it doesn't really matter)

If the video is too long and you hate me for some reason then here are some screen shots:




Current features:
 - Map editing including map data
 - Text editor
 - Chest editor
 - Warp editor
 - Minimap editor
 - Enemy/object placement
 - Initial start position editor
 - Sign pointer editor
 - Owl statue editor

I will provide updates as I add new features to the editor.

I knew you had a relation with Lin when you made that comment about LALE being the best editor on the market.  :001_tongue:

I'll be sure to re-stalk this forum when I have the time.

When will it be released?

When I have added all core editing features required to make a full (yet simple) LA hack I will release it.

I have made an update to the topic if anyone is interested in reading. I have also added new screenshots and a little information on a soon upcoming lack of updates.

Woot, have been waiting for this for a while.
Let's see what it has to offer

Edit: Ohh... gee. I need to read the opening post better next time.

I tried using this with a LA DX rom and I got an error and everything's all glitchy.

Does it have to be a non-DX rom or a v 1.0 rom?

Cmon man really  :thumbdown: Not only do I state it in the readme file of LALE, I even the answer to that in the opening post.
