hey...
does anyone have any suggestions for my converter??
like for the GUI and such...

currently planned is you:
-run the program
-open your input and output files
-select your input/output conversion methods (radio buttons)
   skipped if single conversion
-set the output settings in the conversion GUI
   the viewer will update as you click an option
   (showing you the best result you can have with the current settings)
-watch the program as it converts

the viewer currently takes ~16 seconds to update, but everything works as it should Wink

(this is just loading a TMP to preview and then using Kbd shortcuts to change the settings)
^the viewer is not actually implemented yet

I am going to work on refining the GUI building...
instead of calling a single function, and loading a hard-coded GUI
^(which is extremely hard to code)
I'm going to define functions that make building the GUI alot easier Wink

(you'll only have to input the functions and link them together.
instead of putting in every small little detail... D:

just define the width and height of the GUI space you'll use,
and the viewer will show to the right of the pre-defined space, based on the height.
each button function will have it's own name... you'll just define if it exists and where it goes.

the functions (being hard coded) will update the viewer if they're defined in your GUI.

if all goes as planned, you shouldn't have to do any logic coding.
all I need to know is plans and ideas from others before I start programming.

yes, this means I'm starting over
(my last release of UMC is as good as it gets with that limited handling method) Tongue

btw, if you're wondering why this is taking so long, *glances at roo*
it's because of my list of current projects and the current knowledge known about everything:

note: these are all on the same priority so the order doesn't matter.

1.) re-invent the computer using a 4 base number system (my game system)
2.) (follow-up) work on a game able to be processed by that computer ("EXP:824" is the name)
3.) work on a few inventions involving troll science Cool

4.) for the brawl community:
-work on my converter
-work on plans for my logic editor (lightly touching them currently) Tongue

5.) for the melee community:
-work on my converter (that's it) Tongue

6.) personnal and other needs:
   -work on refining my own file formats
   -gain knowledge on programming a better 3D viewer (using classes and defining a better structure)
   -gain more knowledge on how computers are structured and how games work on them
   (for better defining performance on my own system)
   -work on my converter Tongue

-work on SSBRotF (a series I've been longing to work on (need my converter))

EDIT:
forgot to mention that there will also be an ini file for setting certain specs of the converter.
I'll need alot of ideas to put into this, so let me know what you think of Wink
